Are you a First Officer at a commercial airline?
U Maine is studying flight deck dynamics between Captains and First Officers. It takes 5 minutes.
Participants are invited to a drawing for two $50 Sportyβs gift certificates.
Thank you and Fly Safe! #pilots, #aviation
Maybe next time an immigrant here legally will think twice before speeding or allowing his church youth group to keep too many fish. I'll sleep better at night knowing people who are actively contributing to society and research are being tossed out of the country.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

It's about the cat studies I'm doing.
If they write an article, I'll be sure to share it! :-)

I get the well-deserved vitriol directed at cruel and greedy insurance companies for taking our money and DENYING benefits when we (or our loved ones) need them most. That shit needs to stop.
What I don't get is the hero worship of Luigi Mangione, the guy who allegedly murdered the UHC CEO.
Today, at TJMaxx I made the mistake of strolling the Pet Accessory Aisle, possibly prompted by the Devil. He popped onto my shoulder and insisted I should buy this, and then, surprise twist, the Angel on the other shoulder agreed.

It is now believed that cats vary in their reactivity, too.
