Maybe in the top 10
Iāve spent 30 of my 65 years at the University of Utah. Might make it to 35 and 70
I'm so sorry Melissa. My thoughts are with you and hoping for a full recovery for your brother. Scary stuff.
Disobeys most of the laws of physics I know. What an amazing combination of strength, balance and coordination.
Science is real
The guy oozes white privilege
Probably just a coincidence, but once got my credit card information and bought a bunch of shoes from Zappos. Or maybe the shoe cartel is much stronger and pervasive than previously known.
I have a couple of international trips coming up. Curious about the reception. Personally, I think itās less about having a spine and more about shameless greed. Our current crop of politicians, sadly on both sides, are addicted to big money and serve special interests and not the people
Poisonous?
Brilliant
not even a question
shortest, but most valuable, TED talk ever.
That is when you should swerve for a nonexistant pothole
A bundle neurons if there ever was one. One neuron each on average. RFKJr may actually have 0
here comes that strongly worded letter
You rock!

Iām sure it make sense inside his head.
I so don't understand.
the genetics is strong in that one
The leaves are just starting to change and it's finally cooling off. A few reds so far, but the yellow aspen leaves are still a few weeks off. We have barely had any rain this summer, so the fall color change might be a little lackluster year. Nothing like a walk in a sea of yellow aspens.
A belated good morning to you. Starting to feel like fall in the mountains, yay.
Vote em all out
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or canāt afford. Itās about priorities.
They are idiots.
What to go Utah.
Iāve been there, but not nearly as cute
Maybe itās just me, but Iāll take 10+ years of advanced medical training over an internet snake oil salesperson ever.
one has to smart, creative and a little diabolical to be a scientist, so this tracks
Be like Arghavan, not like Ashley
Take the wins when they come
They donāt inspire confidence. This is the verbal equivalent of a strongly worded letter.
Youāre retired, right? Isnāt every day spa day? Hope it was great
Big time circulation problems.
Iām terrible at word scrambles, but I think I figured this one out.
We are heading into a new gilded age. Ladies maids and man servants for all.
Donāt forget find and change devices
Start of a beautiful long distance relationship
Follow the money as this is long past time.
In a sombrero no less.
Yet they seem to be getting away with it.
Trump will be sending troops to āguardā voting locations in blue cities in 2026 election. Their job will be to prevent Black and Brown voters from casting a ballot That is why Democratic governors need to arrest National guard troops sent to blue cities by Trump. Send a message now!
I certainly am very fortunate ( and grateful) to be in my current position. I donāt mean to diminish anyone elseās situation or experience. Hang in there.
I do a lot of DEI work. Fortunately, it is funded by the American Cancer Society or a private foundation. Our R25 is still viable, but in a āwhite washedā form. Our institution has stepped up with bridge funding in some cases, and some programs have had good luck closing gaps with philanthropy
I heard a thing: How you do anything is how you do everything. Seems important
I may be a bit of a Pollyanna, but for my mental health, I need believe we can push through this acute funding crisis. It wonāt be painless. But if paylines stay low in the long term, I struggle to see any silver lining.
Fingers crossed we get a little more over the next few days
I look forward to reading them both. All of the acute funding changes are brutal, but many are likely survivable in the short term with careful planning and institutional support. I worry about the chronically low paylines at less than 10%. I have no idea how the scientific enterprise survives that.
Probably called something like tree owls before that auspicious day
You are a Rock Star. My record for pull-ups is 29, but letās just say that was WAY more than 29 years ago. Iām probably in the 0 to 5 range now. I miss the vigor of youth.
Why stick to just the planet. I think we are talking universally moronic
Excellent list.
Always take the win
What did those wankers do now?
You need to sit in your living room and not touch anything for awhile. Be careful out there.
It can be embarrassing if one answers either, however.
I hear Tinder is the best dating app these days. Good luck
That pasta made inside the wheel of Parmesan looked amazing.
And those tiny little lyrics on he record insert
You are by far my favorite Floridian.
Congratulations ! Woohoo. Iām not having too much trouble adjusting to 0.5 FTE. Pretty nice
There is a great novel based on the interactions with your nieces and nephew. These kids crack me up
Hell, I want that too.
The first 100 or so papers/grants one reviews are kinda fun. Somewhere above that the magic is gone.
Not much more than minimum wage.
Not just the journals. Study sections donāt have the expertise they used too. $400 honorarium for two days study section is a joke not to mention the ~8 hours to review an RO1 and write the critique. I get paying it forward, but, I have a hard rule of accepting only one study section invite per year
Sounds like you were being a good friend rather than a dope
I donāt get to vote for PC candidates living in pinebrook, but Iād try to elect folks who are not in the pockets of the developers.
At least it wasnāt a whole bag.
Or are exhausted from working their butts off all week. Elitism is his love language
Heartbreaking. Cruelty is the point, not economics.
Hope it turned out well for both of you
Cross country drive. Lots of windmills. No cancer yet
One of my first memories of politics. 14 years old
Sounds more like a 5th year grad student than a niece.
I'm sure you'll wow them regardless. just don't call it a chicken thigh thingy
Not the PhD level experts I know
Friday. Good Morning Blue Sky
1. Federal funding for research promotes tech, biomedical, and scientific discovery in the US, and provides training for the sci/tech workforce that has brought immeasurable wealth to the US over the past 75 years. Today's executive order includes a provision that will obliterate both functions.
I vote part. I donāt think youād say piece of chicken breast or leg,right. Cut sounds like beef.
This guy is the definition of classless. He probably gets cut of every umbrella sale.
Mind if I join you?
I wouldnāt come visit and I live here
Iāve always loved Mt Stewart. Itās the mountain we all drew when we were 5. Quintessential. Iāve only gone up once and a mountain goat chewed on my socks during a break. Fun hike/climb
Susanne Williamson is a teacher with a masterās degree who has been dedicated to teaching for fifteen years and made $58,000 a year. Meanwhile, ICE is offering new hires $100,000 to start, plus signing bonuses, and student loan debt forgiveness. Weāre not broke! Weāre funding hate!
Rule # 1 of academics. Begrudgingly under promise and then over deliver. Works every time. Good luck over the next 3 months!
Mount Stewart?
@200 million, the government could support ~100 researchers for 5 years. Definition of missed opportunity
Iām starting to have a bandwidth issue.
Where I come from thatās called KARMA
Hope it goes/went well.
Probably not an indication that the dam is breaking. But at a start a win for the good guys. Perhaps some hope
Partners in crime. Busted
Study: More Americans Converting To Mormonism In Hopes Of Getting Hulu Series ā theonion.com/study-more-a... Thank you to the Onion. If you live in Utah, this article make total sense
I'm in a bit of a outlier institute, way out considering its Utah, but my department chair is a woman, the cancer center director is a women, as is the cancer center CEO. It's a very egalitarian place, but even these accomplished female leaders have been untitled etc many times in their careers.
just drop the bar low enough and one can always come out on top.
I do get that dropping Dr., does lead to more informal interactions and collegiality. That said I do my best to address both my male and female colleagues as Dr, until told otherwise or preference becomes clear from context. In this case, it's always better to ask permission than forgiveness.
