So happy to bike by my local independent bookstore to get Life After Cars and chocolate.

Having just cycled in the city I’m starting with half a bar & Part III: How we get free. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Grueling semester so far but I’ve picked up a new hobby: Sandwich bag.

Someone/something left this bag containing food on an inaccessible ledge outside my lab. All we can do is wait/observe…

Day 34: possible mold developing, the weight still firmly on the edge, wind gusts predicted tonight.

This is missing career track.

Non-tenure track careers are often ignored or treated as second-class when there are many roles in our academic ecosystem.

The Mayoral Race & Transportation | The Brian Lehrer Show | WNYC Nicole Gelinas and Dave Colon on the mayoral candidates' proposals for mass transit and for managing the "chaos" of use of streets by pedestrians, two-wheeled vehicles, and cars.

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social you've given air-time to @galebrewernyc.bsky.social's anti-bike rhetoric, yesterday's show demonstrated how biased some NYC journalists are. Pls host @transalt.org for a discussion of safe/equitable/sustainable streets. #CitiesAreForPeople

Climate scientists are hosting a 100-hour YouTube livestream in response to Trump's research funding cuts "We really felt like the American public deserves to know what we do."

Climate scientists do critical work.

Here are 100 hours to learn how dangerous it is to cut this research:

All the projects feature Vernier probes & have gone through lit searches, peer-reviews, safety planning, & navigation collaboration. A first dip into the research process for many of these students.

We’re taking 142 students through 39 unique investigations over 4 busy laboratory sessions.

Final project week again & it’s so lovely to see students creatively craft investigations linking Gen Chem Lab topics to their non-lab lives. #IteachChem
