Or they mean "I'm mad that the party I don't like is deciding how money gets spent"

It's wild to me how the years run together. I didn't realize until I wrote it down on paper how much of the stuff I've done has been started as an associate professor.

I have been writing my statement for my promotion packet, and I think I now have managed to convince myself that I should be promoted.

#1: The Fourth of July is a holiday about opposition to monarchy, and as a nation, we should probably get back to that

Also, I want a button to auto-archive all the threads I have already responded to but forgot to archive. This is always 75% of my inbox clog when I get behind.

AI is everywhere. Why can't it read my email backlog and make me a priority list of which ones to deal with first? I would prefer this to the distracting auto-suggestions of words I don't actually want to type.

#Evol2025 was for me maybe the most important meeting I have ever been to. My science will be drastically improved by my interactions over the past week. It was bittersweet due to the current situation and the people who weren't there, but I'm optimistic that we are strong enough to overcome this.

I think it's absolutely essential for understanding diploid population genetics, but I often wish other classes didn't teach it so students could be hearing for the first time from me 😁

I get them. I think always? But maybe not. I don't receive DMs very often. But I got some just now.

I have lots of science to do now after that meeting. Some of it with @danielbolnick.bsky.social.

Had dinner with a friend from grad school days. She said "haven't seen you in forever" and I said "didn't we see each other at an Evolution meeting not that long ago?" We figured out it was at the Raleigh meeting. In 2014. πŸ‘΄ #Evol2025

PowerPoint voice recognition technology is a weird combination of very good and very bad. Why doesn't it use the words on the slides to help it come up with the right spellings of uncommon words (species names, etc.)? Why does it get stuck and miss whole sentences sometimes? #Evol2025
