Saw someone using one of these all-terrain wheelchairs out in the wilds of Frick Park this weekend. Very cool!

Three framed pictures on a white wall. Small one on the left has questions from a differential equations exam from 1940 typed on mellowed paper. Larger one in the middle features the Biology is Bigger than Binaries poster and small one on the right is a framed and matted watercolor brain with the words "use your own brain" in block print on top.

Zoomed out version of the three pictures described in the first image, also showing corner of wooden desk and chair for office visitors.

New semester, new office decor! Featuring art from @artologica.net and @sarahmackattack.bsky.social (plus a diff eq exam from 1940).

Maybe I would be more tempted to use LLMs if I didn't really like writing and thinking, but, well,

Do I have any followers who are omega-6/PUFA researchers? I have some technical questions for an episode and I'd love to connect.

"Ambient, pervasive" Microsoft sounds awful. Like everything around you will be overly complicated and not work very well while seeming somehow slightly dated.

I kind of want to find a way to make this the new rickroll

A bit clunky but if you search a plant here (and it's in the database) you can pull up a range map: grownative.org/native-plant...

Did you know it’s very easy to make your default search engine “google without all the bullshit” on any platform? I did this a couple weeks ago and it’s so nice, no AI nonsense ever. It takes 30 seconds! Instructions: tenbluelinks.org

Hellbender for PA!

Not entirely sure about the use of "serendipitous" here.
