I’m sorry if I was distracted during my last meeting. I couldn’t hear you over my research assistant’s snoring.

With the new school year starting, it’s definitely time to refresh my cheesy office snack supply. I found myself wholly unprepared today and want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Just in case you were worried that I fired my research assistant, she’s here and still as useful as always.

A bold, patriotic-themed flyer for “31 Days of Action” by Stand Up for Science. The top half features red diagonal banners with white text reading “31 Days of Action” and the Stand Up for Science logo beneath it. The background includes blue ink splatters, red and white stars, and distressed textures evoking protest art. The right side prominently displays the Statue of Liberty in grayscale, holding her torch high. At the bottom, there is a red QR code and a blue banner with the URL: “standupforscience.net/31-DAYS-OF-ACTION”. The overall design conveys urgency, activism, and American iconography.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: 31 Days of Action – All August!

Funding cuts. Banned words. Fired public servants.

Trump & his cronies are dismantling America’s greatest experiment - our democracy - & with it, science.

Between now & Sept 30th we decide: Are we a democracy… or an oligarchy?

I’m going to need Teams and Webex to up their beauty filters to Zoom standards. My vanity can’t take it.

So proud of the work that @melissa-lewis.bsky.social and I are doing and excited to grow our work in the UTA School of Social Work!

Silly dog

Trying to keep a straight face on a zoom call is hard when this is across from you.

Deb is the best!

Happy dog

I feel like we could all use a Birdie smile about now.

My research assistant is sleeping on the job again.

I got my potato’s DNA done and she was 75% ambully and 25% frenchie!

Thank you! She’s the happiest little research assistant!

Maybe a “get in dorks” bandana…

Thank you!!

She could totally rock a doggy muscle shirt

I had the privilege of being interviewed recently to talk about two subjects close to my heart: mental health and the profound connection between humans and animals. Even better? I wasn’t alone as I was joined by two very special co-hosts.

I don’t have popcorn, but I do have a party size bag of nerds clusters from Costco. Who wants to join me for the show?

People are going to start expecting me to bring puppies to work every day….

This was like a three minute slow-motion sploot sneak attack 😂

This is the last time I take my research assistant to work with me at a coffee shop, because I’m pretty sure she’s trying to interview to work with someone else…

Wishing strength to everyone working on grants right now for the June submission cycle . May your cutting-to-length go smoothly, your finalizing stay final, and your sanity hold despite… looks around… everything. We’ve got this.

I’ve never seen this, but I love it!
