*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Nothing says “the academic year is back in full swing” like telling students their seminar is actually in the building across campus over the sounds of the marching band’s Sabrina Carpenter cover

As my gate gets changed from terminal A to terminal D and I get in 5 hours later than scheduled, I think about how a month ago I took a 24 hour train that had fewer delays than this

Old dril tweet meme template about budgeting. Tweet has been edited to read:
“Overview: 1

Below is a reply that’s been modified to say “@dril spend less on the motivation.”

Never forget:
A google search for 'are there snakes at thesis defenses', with an AI overview that starts 'Yes, some universities have a tradition of including a "snake fight" portion in thesis defenses." and then goes on to give details just lifted from the McSweeney's article.

🧵Good news out of #NIH today. (1) NIH is extending #ESI and #K99/R00 eligibility to accommodate researchers whose eligibility would have ended during the previous shutdown. Take a look at NOT-OD-26-020. If your ESI status would have ended in 2025, you get an automatic extension through 2026/03/31.
