Amazing juxtaposition
A Google search result page for Miami University’s sigma alpha epsilon fraternity. The first result is their official webpage, captioned “SAE has been a fixture on Miami’s campus for 98 years and there is no reason to believe that will be changing anytime soon.” This is immediately followed by a link for a news article about the fraternity being suspended for hazing.

I ended up working today because I took some time off last week when I really needed it and have some hard deadlines Dec 1 & 2, but I am wearing pajama pants, my coziest sweater, and fuzzy Christmas socks so it's not all bad

That was particularly harsh, I preferred the subtle yet effective:

Text of a poem:

Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It’s a Sewer Rat
by Caitlin Seida
Hope is not the thing with feathers
That comes home to roost
When you need it most.
Hope is an ugly thing
With teeth and claws and
Patchy fur that’s seen some shit.
It’s what thrives in the discards
And survives in the ugliest parts of our world,
Able to find a way to go on
When nothing else can even find a way in.
It’s the gritty, nasty little carrier of such
diseases as
optimism, persistence,
Perseverance and joy,
Transmissible as it drags its tail across
your path
and 
bites you in the ass.
Hope is not some delicate, beautiful bird,
Emily.
It’s a lowly little sewer rat
That snorts pesticides like they were
Lines of coke and still
Shows up on time to work the next day
Looking no worse for wear.

We're not sure what we're eating yet, but planning on binge watching old RuPaul's Drag Race episodes (we somehow missed that the last all stars season was happening) and then checking MSNBC for Steve and his big board updates for 5ish mins every commercial break

Miami University (OH) is hiring a TT behavioral neuroscientist! We have a growing, active neuroscience program with strong connections to bio, and this is a great place to teach and do research with top quality undergrads and PhD students. Review of applications begins 10/21.

It took 3 submissions (+initial submission delayed by a premature baby), but today I received my notice of award from NSF! So excited for this daily diary assessment with the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk & Adaptation to test early life predictors of adult daily affective reactivity to stress
