I live most of my life in circumstances where not all scientists, engineers, and inventors are assumed to be men. Then, every once in a while, I get hit by something like this. I know that it is a silly quiz on a cruise ship, but it made my stomach drop. #RepresentationMatters #WomeninSTEM #DoBetter

Trivia quiz looking for the names of inventors of 25 different technologies.

New drone photos of our University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry Teaching Building in progress, side-by-side with the original renderings. It is coming along and looking beautiful (even with the #IcyMississippi in the foreground). #UMNProud #Fall2025

I love working at UMN and living in the Twin Cities. The #QualityOfLife is high, and the #CherryOnTop for this academic is that the airport and the number of direct flights are amazing - fully supported by a recent study published in Forbes, ranking #MSP as the best mega airport in the US
