😆 yesss

This is the solution, we bribe the youngest

Depends on the generation 😆

Same suggestion for @paulmorwin.bsky.social and "epigenetics" 😉

6-7 it up!!!

Lol ok it's uncool to middle school-up

Everyone, stop being annoyed by "6-7". Instead START SAYING IT. Fastest way for it to become uncool 😆

I have never been on a virtual meeting that hasn't sent me into massive social anxiety that I need hours to recover from. I hate em I hate em I hate em I hate emmmm

Grades need to be in already so I can focus on decompressing

I think threading the needle as an instructor is to teach students to think things through WITHOUT overthinking. It's as much a push as it is a pull.

😆 true it is 2025

You ever get a weird combination of emotions where you're tired, but good, feeling happy, but also have an urge to cry?

Lol right??? i was worried the dogs would get contaminated

Topics so far are HGH use, antioxidant supplementation, mRNA vaccine effect on DNA, gene editing, etc.

These are going to be SO FUN to grade!

For my molec cell class's final project, they need to create a public-friendly infographic/pamphlet/social media thread/video of a common public misconception related to course topics, where they share info to help ppl make their own decisions (NOT to persuade people with opinions).

Why haven't we invented a technology to transfer evil human living years to dogs yet.

I'm working on manuscript reviews in a sports bar, and my student just put her dog down today and sent me a last photo, so now I'm crying while reviewing manuscripts in a sportsbar.

I should have clarified, I meant my first name 🤣

I am almost 38 years old and only today I realized you can say my name without moving your lips.

Lifting is so zen. Like you really get in touch with your own body in ways you never before realized. Plus reduced joint aches extra win.

Fastest bowel clearance ever

🤣

All i care about is the flushing 😆

🤣 break a second cardinal rule

Dunno, some are very thorough, some are quick and need double flush, some don't ciruclate water fully and TP gets stuck

I broke the cardinal restroom rule: I went into the stall right next to someone despite all other stalls being available, because I like the toilet flush better on that one.

On one hand, I'm annoyed at myself for spending the evening proofing my students' posters. On the other hand, they're SO PRETTYYYYY.

I've been doing N/A. It's so sleazy.

A thing I'm seeing pop up on a lot of letter of rec portals this cycle: to have the recommender rank the "English language proficiency (if Non-native speaker)".
