The award honors Naomi Breslau & Jane Murphy, two women who were small in stature (like me!) but absolutely enormous in presence, impact, and generosity to the scientists they trained. A reminder that you don't have to be big to be a giant. More: www.cla.purdue.edu/news/college...

Feeling a bit verklempt to be honored with the 2026 Breslau/Murphy Award from @appa-association.bsky.social. It’s hard to overstate how much an award like this means to me. I love science, and training the next generation of scientists isn’t part of the job; it IS the job.

Do you know what snail shells & teeth have in common? 🐌🦷 They both grow in distinct layers! Snail shells add spiral layers as they age, much like how our teeth show incremental layers of enamel... www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-... 🧪

I love learning about all the things kids do with their baby teeth! In Spain their tooth fairy is a mouse! Casa Museo del Ratón Pérez in Madrid is a hidden gem that shares the story of this folkloric character. 🦷 🐁
