I forwarded on your requests, but the provost's office deemed it "non-urgent" and, given the budget situation, declined

Excellent, you are welcome to use the Dan Chair.

If your name is Dan, you always have a place in my office (I coadvise three students with @spicybotrytis.bsky.social and Dan Runcie so this seat gets a lot of use)

A watermelon is one berry Harmit. Of course serving size is one berry.

This is ludicrous. If each triangle was meant to be eaten separately why are they *stuck together*? Nobody gives you an orange and says "serving size: one segment".

Doesn’t matter how many times this happens I still somehow think they’re not gonna call my bluff. But they do.

There’s a parade of recent PhD grads with swords and top hats through town. Pretty badass.

Have you tried p<0.2 instead? I hear it’s all the rage.

Agree with Stephen, I like it even better than wrath of khan. I don't think I qualify as a die-hard trekkie, but I have seen 100% of the original series and TNG

That photo is from 1994. My painted portrait made in 2018 shows I β€” unlike the rest of you β€” haven’t aged a day

New proposal: all faculty profile pics and all posters should have the date clearly visible. In many academic dept hallways some of both date back to the 20th century.
