My bebe undergrad just got her first little pot of funding to support her thesis work and I'M SO PROUD RIGHT NOW

Small fun fact: I post cocktails and also teach anatomy. With finals coming up, if you’re in #anatomy or #A&P and want help, I’m happy to share study tips, templates, and memory tricks. A&P has a gatekeeper reputation, but I try to make it accessible. Reach out if you need anything #academia

Setting up all cozy and making matches for my Jolabokaflod group, the book trading holiday tradition borrowed from Iceland. This is the 7th year I've run it (!) and we have 33 participants this year, a solid number. A little joy. <3

I just found out and canceled my Rocket Money account. Not one more dime to them while they sponsor hate.

I used a service to delete all of my Tweets so it's just a blank account sitting there.

Recently I was at a show of someone who's become famous for TikTok content filmed at shows. She had several segments of her show making social media content involving the audience (like dances or call-response). I feel irritated when I paid for a ticket but you're making me make you content.

This morning I saw a whole conversation between drag queens on X being quoted somewhere else. The people who run that platform actively hate you. Why are you giving them your money and content?

it hurt like hell to leave my #scicomm community behind there, but there is #scisky and #Nephsky HERE.

Izzy has been found. She is alive and currently with her mom and medical services. Please keep them in your thoughts.

Buying any ONE @pdxbroadsides.bsky.social album from us or @bandcamp.com gives us more than we've ever gotten from Spotify. (Tidal and Apple Music give us bigger cuts, if you're into other streamers, but we get about $30-$50/quarter from our global digital manager.)

Apparently my husband and I are hiveminded.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif.

I don't know how many times I've seen this movie but I wouldn't be surprised if it's north of 100.

A young woman, 15, with long brown hair and light skin. The stump behind her indicates that she is about 5'7" to 5'8".

Please share if you're in Chicagoland: a friend's 15-year-old daughter, Izzy, got into a stranger's silver Tesla last night with a pal and they haven't been heard from since. Last Instagram ping indicates Frankfort Square area. If you've seen her, please call local police. #Chicago

@pdxpatterman.bsky.social They knew and said lovely things about you! ❤️

The Portland Ghostbusters were nearby yesterday so I took my toddler who is currently ALL THINGS GB. They were so wonderful with him!

It's group annual bad holiday movie night. We each take on a holiday movie trope and yell it out when it comes up and we drink. We're 1.5 movies in, hoarse, and half drunk (or better).

The kidney filters 180L of blood per day, which is equivalent to 4.5 kiddie pools, I've just been told. And all I can see in my head is that scene from Blade with the sprinklers...

Ahhhhh! When @royalpdx.bsky.social got home, Huddy got up on his little toddler chair, clapped his hands, and yelled, "WOOO WOOO WOOO!" I didn't tell him to do that and it was so flipping adorable. He's so proud of his dad. Me too.

We're watching @royalpdx.bsky.social in his first show at Kickstand Comedy via Twitch tonight, and Huddy keeps asking for Daddy to be in the middle of the screen more and to answer him. We love it. :)

It's been a whirlwind few months, but how fortunate I am to be a part of @pdxkidney.bsky.social. The Hebert Lab has 3 members and actual lab space and a mailbox. There even IS a Hebert Lab. Still weird. Still utterly astonishing to me.

Wild day. In addition to the JIT, I got an acceptance for an oral presentation at SRI, and the Hebert Lab has official independent lab bench space for use. Whew.

It is usually one of the last steps taken before a formal notice of grant award. So. It's not a guarantee, but it is The Next Big Step and a really big deal.

I KNOW RITE

FINALLY

THank you!!!

I just got really good news that very few people will understand but it's so good that I kind of want to whisper scream it? Like I'm excited but I don't want to disturb anyone who won't get it?

Only tangentially related, but FUN FACT, gang: At least 9 Japanese medical schools, including the illustrious Tokyo Medical University, have been caught CHANGING THE SCORES on admission exams to exclude female applicants for the last 20 YEARS.

This is real! It happened!

Shark scientists want their research to help save threatened species, but don’t know how. Our new paper can help. Sharks are some of the most threatened animals on Earth, and accordingly many scientists who study sharks want their research to be useful for conservation. However, most scientific training does n…

An all-too-common interaction I've had:

Scientist: Our research can help shape policy to protect this endangered animal.

Me: Neat! How? What policy? What is it now, and what should it be instead?

Scientist: Uhhhhh.....

Our new paper can help!
