A selfie of Alberto Roca and I at the ABRCMS meeting today.

I always tell my students that no matter what you do with your science training, you will be surprised how often you reconnect with people from your journey. I was delighted to reconnect with @minoritypostdoc.bsky.social at #SACNAS a few weeks ago and #ABRCMS this week!

Photo of 1000 piece puzzle depicting an illustration of the side profile of lion lying in tall grass. The artist's painting style has many geometric shapes filling in the yellow and orange grass blades. The lion's fur coloring is interpreted as jagged patches that range in color from grey-brown to tan in the animal's face while the mane is colored dark orange to red to dark green. The background is a blue & purple tinted savannah evening sky where the artist has triangle, square, and circles in the top left corner in various colors such as green red that match the colored tips of the foreground grass that is reaching to the sky above the lion's head.
