Before Love and Hiphop..Scrappy had a nice run..

Those of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!

I am proud of my #NewPI activity this summer so I want to #humblebrag about a little.

Many of my students had results, but weren't making graphs and writing like they needed to 📊.

So, at the beginning of the summer, I issued a Publishable Pieces challenge: 10 PPs for lab 🍨 outing.

They did it!

Look at this UNC Charlotte crowd!!!

Flyer showing the carter lab from UNC Charlotte at evolution 2025. Bhuwan Abbot is presenting a talk on endofungal bacterial comparative genomics on june 23rd in the coevolution I session and Ruth Wright is presenting a poster on bacterial secretion at poster C10 on June 22nd

Heading to #evol2025? Come see what the Carter Lab is up to!

@ruthwright.bsky.social and @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social will be there and would love to connect.

We are *this* 🤏 close to having the first lab preprint posted for work only done since I started at Charlotte and I'm just so jazzed about it.

Also the author list is 1 tech, 1 undergrad, 1 high schooler, 1 rotation student, 2 local collabs, & @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social which is lab goals to me 🏆.

I randomly get mad at who’s president several times throughout everyday

I love DC so bad, I just know we about to have a blast

You just got to love Michelle, ALWAYS on the right side of history

If I starve myself from now, I’ll be ready for the beach in 2.5 weeks 😂💀

The one thing that is almost certain to come out of this presidency is another Michelle Obama book so I guess that’s a good thing

The whole world is suffering because of our disconnect from nature

Luther went in the studio and got the rent paid on time for a life time when he did Superstar.

If you think about you only exist if your perceived so I’d say we occasionally exist

Keep the monuments, we want reparations, equity, and just to simply live in a world free of hate ‼️

There are now 24 step-by-step guides, explaining how to create these ⬇️ data visualizations with R/ggplot2 - I hope this is a useful resource. Find them all here: joachimgoedhart.github.io/DataViz-prot...

My dad may actually be buying me a mouse so we going see 😂

Same here in Orono. Tropical blast from the jet. Welcome to a warmer, windier, and wilder world. 🧪⚒️🥼❄️🌊

About to ask for Adobe Illustrator for my birthday 😂😂😂

I know I say this every week but I do thoroughly hate lateral lunges 😫

It has not snowed like this in forever, I’m seeing it all throughout the US and I love to see it

😮‍💨😮‍💨 This Wild 😅 But Fuck it we Ball !

Not my calendar not sending me notifications all day.

Not only is it not selfish, it's mandatory. And the people you've previously put before yourself still benefit from this version of you because you're not pouring from an empty cup.💪🏾

Just A Reminder: Putting yourself first for your own wellbeing is not selfish.✨

They’re building a new library right across from campus, my lab mates will never see me again 😅

You’re right lol. Because I’ve played several times but I forget as soon as I’m done. But I can easily relearn if I felt like it.
