If you have an anxious dog, you never have to wonder where they are.

One example from peer-reviewed scholarship - librarians were peer-reviewing a paper and found that 1 in 6 of the citations were hallucinations.

Wife has a sister and dad in healthcare and we hear stories. Her dad is 70 and still a RN.

Well that’s disconcerting for healthcare. My job isn’t nearly that serious.

Not sure if I’ll ever get fruit from this 1st year pomegranate, but it looks happy so far. 🌱 we’re borderline here in north Georgia. This variety is supposed to be hardy to zone 7 which is 20 miles north of me, but hardiness doesn’t mean fruit production.

Do they have a public database that lets them know? Ga has one for every sort of license and they used to mail my employer.

Hoping the doc can give you something less harsh. That shit is always for the weirdest stuff. I was on it for 4 weeks for a tick born illness years ago. I swear my belly was never the same.

🔔 Are you are a mid- to late- career geoscientist with a background in geologic mapping, forest and watershed geology, or economic geology?

Do you have experience leading large scientific teams?

Do you enjoy building partnerships and strategic planning?

This job may be for you!

I feel like it’s soo much worse when places that far north hit the mid 90s. Yall aren’t used to or built for it. We had 6 weeks straight over 95+° days last summer.

Wendy Bohon: Quelling Fears and Sparking Geoscience Joy - Eos This earthquake enthusiast and science communicator wants you to know that a “whole ecosystem” of scientific careers exists outside of academia.

“[The leaky pipeline] implies that if you don’t follow this very narrow path, that you’re leaking out, that you’re lost,” Bohon said. “You’re not lost. You’re just taking a different path, and your science knowledge goes with you wherever you go.” eos.org/features/wen...

Jerk chicken Friday. Fun fact. These whole leg/thigh combo were the only chicken my parents ever bought growing up. If we had breast/wings it was a holiday or someone else’s house. ( or KFC bucket lol)

This wasn’t those. I planted them all as cloves from the same bulb. Only 2 didn’t form cloves.
