Is @latimes.com 's Soon-Shiong EVER going to answer to these scandals? This is shocking and incredibly scary.

¡Feliz de regresar a casa! Y más para celebrar sus 50 años. Infinitamente agradecida por la invitación. ¡Nos vemos mañana!

The strongest evidence of the intergenerational gap between me and my grad students is not that they don't get my TAR jokes or that they don't know who Dirk Nowitzki is. It is that they understand my references to Bluey 🙈 (after seeing my costume ears: "are you a fox or Bingo?")

Beyond proud of my undergrad students who crushed the poster session today! They're young, hard working, bright & kind. It was a lot of work but this is my rough and tiny attempt at channeling the great & incomparable @rkwrice . Thanks everyone for your help and work!
