🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Happy FAVIA Day! On this day in 1793, 231 years ago, the first air voyage in America launched from the Walnut Street, Philadelphia prison yard. Jean Pierre Blanchard took off at about 10 am and flew about an hour, landing 15 miles away in Deptford, NJ.

Writing a dissertation once upon a time seemed impossible to me. This photo is meant to inspire those who are in grad school and questioning if you can do it.
I didn’t think I could, yet, this is HOW I’m doing it.
Happy Montgolfière Day!

A woman hot air balloon pilot smiles big smiles while leaning against her hot air balloon, in the back of a truck. Her dress pants are slightly covered in dirt from flying earlier in the day. A Cracker Barrel to go bag sits on the ground next to her. The sun is shining and blue skies are in the back ground.
Introductory post: I’m currently writing my dissertation in mathematics education and a hot air balloon pilot. That means some days, my dress pants end up covered in dirt. I couldn’t be happier with this life.
