While prepping for our Thanksgiving meal, I inadvertently made a sweet potato into #celegans. Is my subconscious telling me something? Thank you worms! Happy Thanksgiving!

This approach has a well-known consequence: it's called the minority tax that faculty of color often face as we're called upon to address inequities in the larger system. I just want to make sure we don't keep adding to that tax. 4/4. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

My 9 year old saw these mushrooms on our walk to her school this morning and she said, “We should invite them to Thanksgiving, I hear they’re fun guys.” I think she’s adopting my sense of humor and it made me happy.

Huge thanks to @triggerloop.bsky.social for coming out to @uoregon.bsky.social to tell us about his amazing science! So much fun to host you! He took home a taste of Eugene to his lab in the form of some freshly baked donuts & pretzels from the Locals donut food truck. 🧬🍩🥨
