Something that's striking for me in this photo isn't just that the other two women are also so genuinely happy to be up there, I adore the different poses. Kaori looking poised with her perfect posture and foot turned out, and Ami with her bubbly enthusiasm.

Happy half priced chocolate day to those who celebrate

Map of the US with bubble markers in dark red and blue. The blue is 'Old Glory Blue', and the red is slightly brighter than Old Glory Red to be more discernible with color blindness.

I'd love to know instances where scientists chose certain color palettes to tell their data's story. For example, when I worked on a project in partnership with the DoD, I made use of a color palette reminiscent of the American flag.

Someone made an actually-organized version of this!!

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?

These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.

So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

I'm only glancing at this while I should be prepping a lecture- am I reading it right that job talks are where women are the most likely to be interrupted compared to men?

Thanks, I did the ol' block and not check for following

My middle/highschool orthorexia means I can taste this photo. The 90s, man.

Chuck Tingle would fit most of the criteria. I mean, he's got way better things to do, but imagine the Grok that would come out of it.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

Love the action of thinking through barriers to crossing 'markets', really important step to why more people aren't using SI

oh gosh, what a prophecy 🫠 We'll have to collaborate on a less tedious project sometime together, it was fun to work with you!

At a workshop last week, a couple of colleagues and I started discussing why stable isotope based approaches so prevalent in academic research are rarely seen in applied fishery management.

I hope so! There's a lot of great data I couldn't access personally, because it was in journals my institutions don't have subscriptions for. Or sometimes in journals way outside my discipline, that I'd never think to check. I hope others can cite and use this data.

ONLY

It was something! But we learned a lot, have a lot of data to work with, and I hope IsoArcH and IsoBank were able to improve based on testing what happens when giant amounts of isotope data comes their way.

Author Contributions: Chris Stantis conceived of the project and its frankly ridiculous acronym...

Thanks to my co-authors, several of whom I've yet to meet in real life (how neat is scientific work?), the reviewers for seeing my vision, the 374 corresponding authors from the original projects, and the editor, who let me keep over 50 pages of refs and this silly contributions

Hence why the project is ARDUOUS: Aligning Repositories/Databases by Utilizing Optimized Upload
Strategies. We had a lil logo for our Slack channel that was appropriate

More than just making it available, we made sure the results of this tedium had longevity. We placed this mega-dataset into two of the best isotope repositories I know, IsoArcH.eu and IsoBank. Folks using these repos will find the data version-controlled and ready to use with other data held there

As a team, we compiled and cleaned 28,347 published bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr data from 474 previously published datasets. Why put ourselves through that?!
When a large amount of this data are compiled, harmonized, and made more discoverable, researchers across disciplines can reuse it.

New paper out, possibly one of the most tedious projects of my life... it's working name was Project ARDUOUS and boy howdy did it live up to its name 🧪🏺

that 'dog' doesn't look like it wants to be petted, is all I'm saying.

painting from Mayan vase in ochre and black. A man on an elevated seat reaches out to pet an animal. This animal has a puffed tail, finned ears, eyebrows that convey annoyance, clawed hands, and human feet.

Art from a Maya vase. Labeled 'Itzamná talks to a dog', nothing will convince me that's not a person dressed up as a dog. 🏺

Country girl Jill often shepherds students and does administrative tasks because they're far too nice and a team-player, even though they're literally the best out in the field.

Was just feeling bad about not getting grant applications prepared as new faculty, then remembered that one grant I was prepping was axed by the NIJ, and another that I was revising to resubmit was axed by the NSF.

Gonna be some screenshots of proposal portals in my tenure dossier...

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

His reaction was 'BRO, are you KIDDING me?!', which is peak sibling

Me, in a wedding dress on some stairs in a house. An old dog looks on.

My lili bro (kindly) invited me to a friends' party, the theme was 'dress fancy'. I was on the road to visit the family, with only sweaters and hiking gear packed. Well, my parents hadn't gotten rid of my wedding dress, I had *something* fancy to wear.
His reaction was priceless.

I just realised that I know very little about my art peers (other than their art), so let's change that? :)

QRP with your artwork and share what other passions/jobs/hobbies you have? ✨

I'll start! I trained as an archaeologist, and love foraging 🏺🌿
