Never a dull day with those kids

What could go wrong...

I guess now is the best time to start a Bactrim business in TX 💀

A colleague was complimenting me on being so on top of things that I don't have a single notification... I have really severe ADHD, I probably have 30k emails and 400 texts... I simply deactivated the badges like the chaotic person I am 💀

Am I tripping or did TAMRA probes become crazy expensive all of a sudden?

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

Women’s use of AI is perceived as a sign of incompetence, while men’s use of AI is seen as an indication of initiative. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was already having a bad day... and then this happened 💀 Now I'm on campus, in my underwear, squeezing water out of my clothes. Gotta love Galveston brutal showers...

So, NIAID has quietly withdrawn from the T35 program just before the May cycle deadline. Nobody said a word. No email from the PO. No statement. Nada. Wanna now how I found out? 👇🏽🙃

I would argue that some people already do exactly that 😂

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

I made these slides last Sunday... Glad I did because I already have 4 seminars scheduled on the next 10 days 💀

Your reminder that parasitic colleagues only thrive because the environment allows them to do so. There's always an enabler somewhere trying to dress taking advantage of someone as a gracious opportunity.

A med school student who's now graduating just asked me what concentration I was in because "we've been here for the same amount of time and we never ended up in the same class" That's actually perfect because I was thinking of crashing the world cup game screening organized by the student assoc. 😂

Also serves as a reminder that some demographics really go through certain aspects of life on easy mode.

Nothing like being lectured on "how to improve trust" by someone who stole a grant that was sent to him for feedback 🤣 That incident is literally documented but we still have to entertain him. You gotta love academia man... truly a place of wonders lol

Those Galveston Aedes sollicitans are probably doing proboscis stretches and wing aerobics right now in anticipation of the field day they're going to have soon...

I absolutely hate imposing on people but had to stay with a friend due to damage in my house. I also wake up at 3:45-4:30 so was definitely anxious about that. Look what I found when I came out of my room 🥹

It's honestly quite depressing to see how the standards we're held to as random people literally don't apply to people in the most important offices in the country.

What are you guys using for Phylogeny? The software I was using is no longer supported and MEGA gives me impulses that would ultimately send me to jail. Alternatively, does someone still have access to the Topali install files?

Thanks, i needed a sobering reminder of the fact that the cdc literally had a cruise ship division for this reason

An outbreak of hantavirus is a sobering reminder that cruise ships can be the setting for infectious-disease nightmares, Katherine J. Wu reports:
