What’s better than conference selfies with colleagues that are also friends? Very little.

He hasn't been around all week. They'll all be departing in 6 or 7 days for the arctic, so I guess he reported to the pre-migration meetup (yes, it's a thing!).

The Keawe Street Canal kōlea's breeding plumage is getting blacker every day. Almost time for him to head north for the summer. He's gotta get serious over the next week about bulking up for the long flight back to Alaska! #kōlea #PacificGoldenPlover #Hawaii

Oh man. There’s gotta be a way to prevent these kinds of unfortunate truncations across platforms, email, etc., by now … right??? 😅
Screencap of a Facebook post from Netflix. The text accompanying the link is truncated and thus reads as follows: “The moon is now on Netflix. Watch LIVE as the Artemis II crew travels fart…”

It’s pretty funny when you turn around to look out the window — you know, to check whether it’s raining ☔️ before you leave — and Domo-kun is roaring at you in the reflection of monitor #2. 🤣

It's only force majeure if it comes from the Majeure region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling shitshow.

✈️ Day trip to Maui for a funeral. Neighbor island travel is usually NBD, but the Kona low made things so turbulent as we passed south of Moloka‘i, HA canceled water/juice service. Which is fine, bc I already cannot handle those peel-back lids without spilling on a smooth flight, n/m this 🫨 kine.

Especially because they’re not exaggerating AT ALL. Today has been … a lot, even if you DON’T live downstream of the Wahiawā reservoir. I hope everyone got out of there safely.

If you want to fishwatch off of the #Kona Coast of Hawaiʻi Island, the same long, wonderful coastline upon which 3 of our partner national parks are located...

I spend a not insignificant amount of time stuck in traffic on Lunalilo Street alongside this tree at Pi‘ikoi Mini-park every weekday morning. Left: Friday morning, after what seemed like half of it had fallen into the road, during the Kona low-pressure storm. Right: Saturday night bald spot. 😆

Crazy weekend in Hawai‘i between the harsh weather, nearly islandwide power outages due to the weather, confusion over what’s open because of said outages … oh yeah, and whack scorekeeping/officiating at tonight’s makeup UH Men's Volleyball game! Like … what? Nobody knows. But we make our own fun. 😆

Small kine hilarious how Episode 43 was like, “No visitors. Please respect my privacy at this time.” And took out a live cam to punctuate that statement, just in case it needed translation. #Kīlauea #volcano #hawaii

A woman was taking photos of a young woman next to me with the YW’s poster, and she knew what I was going to ask as soon as I tapped her shoulder. 😅 This lady was MADE FOE THIS task! She took maybe 10 different photos, including some in which she instructed me to stop smiling. Hilarious. #srnt2026

The SRNT Annual Meeting is great for learning new things about other people’s research, of course, but the BEST part is catching up with colleagues who used to be co-workers in my program at the University of Hawai'i Cancer Center.

Gene Park is the coolest reporter at the Washington Post (look him up, FR). Reporters’ jobs are on the line there again, but he can’t NOT take time off for treatment. His surgery is today. Please help if you can. If you prefer Venmo (as I do), his username there is @Gene-Park-1. QR in comments.

This is one of my favorite Ellison Onizuka photos, of him eating with hashi🥢 aboard Discovery in 1985. Not much is known about that mission, as it was classified (DoD), but the crew have shared many stories about training & leisure time camaraderie. Good times were had, at least, while they lasted.

We played hooky and went humpback whale watching this morning! (Just kidding about hooky: I don’t know what arrangements these guys made, but I worked Saturday.) Caught a lot of dorsal fin photos on my mirrorless. 😅 🐋

Hey, this bald kid looks familiar. 🤔 Happy 30th cancerversary, @matthewzachary.bsky.social. 🥂 Thank you for using what cancer didn't take from you (i.e., everything but your hair, I guess?) to effect change for cancer patients & survivors, plus some millions of others.
