Controversial opinion. Let Gen X have some leadership responsibility. Watching this same dynamic in all facets of my life at the moment, with all the same issues

This freaks me out.

Great work yall! Loving this!

Uhhh… well maybe we can all be raptured and escape this hellhole timeline.

Great advice until both of your baskets are cut in the same year…

I found you the least climate friendly bike today

Now imagine that she is your rep. No answering phones, no town halls, nothing …

Meanwhile, many of us have to think about how we wind down our lab operations in the next month, while proposals languish in purgatory. For what?

You’re overqualified ;)

Meanwhile, polar scientists are running out of money, have proposals sitting in NSF purgatory for over a year and crickets… I’m about ready to throw in the towel on my science career.

Very. I get them all the time. Sometimes you get paid too! NSF also requests reviews from international scientists, or they used to in the before times

Me in Lincoln MA, 1978

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

Again, not surprising… 19thnews.org/2026/02/epst...

I’ve never considered the Reveille a warship, but here we are. Glad we spent all that money on a pier to fit the Palmer…

Onset of millennial climate variability with the intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciation The Quaternary Period (the last 2.58 Ma) was characterized by the waxing and waning of large ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. Using sediment sequences from the Iberian Margin, we demonstrate tha...

Very proud of this one:

My super amazing students (minus two who had a meeting) and lab tech. I’m so grateful to all of them for all of their hard work and dedication to science. Also, they are so much fun!

I think you meant Donald Trump

Techno-optimism around AI reveals the contempt these CEOs and tech bros have for the work most of us do. They think writing, thinking and art can all be automated by AI because *they* can’t do any of those things.

Agree…

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

I cant imagine why…

Hey, guess who’s lived experience isn’t 40 years out of date? Mine. The one you called petty. The one who said the number of academic men orbiting Epstein was not surprising- I was not implicating hundreds of men. Please don’t put words in my mouth.

I say Lee chee

THIS👆🏻

And his were so high, that they got us to the world we live in today. F that guy

Nope, I mean run of the mill male academics … I’m gonna over generalize that creepers are often the most successful at getting money from rich dude science foundations with pet projects (like eugenics … )

I filed our title IX because a student was experiencing the same behavior I was experiencing. If they hadn’t been, I probably would have just tried to continue to manage the behavior, as I had been for 25 years … since I was an undergraduate of this same faculty member…
