Heartbreaking news. I met Rob a few times and he was always kind and supportive. He gave so much to the aviation community (particularly in aerobatics) — even to those of us just starting out. He will be profoundly missed.

Likely misreading and misunderstanding “transgenic mice” which are used in disease research.

What class are you teaching?

a humorous take on the sentiment:

“Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. Today, the President of the United States has targeted one particular group on one particular issue which Maine law has addressed. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it – and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so."

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position.

We started talking about gene expression networks, and all
of a sudden there were these funny little symbols crawling about. They call themselves Booleans.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

For those unaware, in 1933, the first major Nazi book burning was of the first 30 years of research into trans and queer people, far before the concentration camps.

Now, Trump has digitally burned the government's research on the same.

Make a personal commitment to a practice of kindness today. Donate to an organization that shelters all comers regardless of identity. Put out a bird feeder. Tell someone that you care about them. Clean up a mess somewhere. Tell
someone “I will help” and follow through.

i got a demo of a MIDI accordion today. it had an impressive sample library and rhinestones. very nice.

I really should pack up the holiday shrub, but the room will look so much more bleak without it. Late winter really needs another excuse to put up decorations.

I had a delightful chat with a mathematician today over what an equals sign really means.

deep learning is very nonlinear, and the semester structure is quite at odds with this reality

also, i don’t really see the point of a race where i don’t get to wear a costume.

Did an ugly sweater 5k today. had to run-walk it due to health issues. still grateful to the friend who blew up a childhood of failed presidential
fitness tests by informing me that if i run, i’m a runner, no matter my pace.

I never intended to play the accordion. The accordion found me.

lots of wind today. impressive leaf/snow vortices.
