Hubs found a 17+ lb Hen-of-the-woods mushroom. Frankly, it’s ginormous. He will not need any more mushrooms for the rest of the year, especially since there’s 5-6 quarts of various sautéed mushrooms in the freezer. Did I mention I like the idea of mushrooms but not mushrooms

I will be attending #SICB2027 this year! I am also actively looking for a postdoc position and would love to connect with PIs looking for postdocs! I have interest/expertise in behavior, mate choice/sexual selection, host-parasite interactions, and disability/neurodivergent advocacy in biology.

My dear friend @seislologist.bsky.social has launched a cool new earthquake app called Seismoscope! It’s fantastic for visualizations but has lots of other functionality as well. Check it out! (It’s free and available on iPhone and Android) apps.apple.com/us/app/seism...

So, hubs has a bit of OCD, which is fine but can lead to some interesting situations. Ex: he recently got a waffle maker and, as a consequence, is attempting to perfect his waffle technique. I’ve eaten more waffles over the last two weeks than in the last two years 🧇🧇🧇

This is tough. I’m an artist. So, graphite seems the obvious choice. However, I absurdly love saying Cassiterite, which makes that an obvious choice too 🤔

I don't know how to vote this match. On the one hand, we have a third of the Al2Si05 group of polymorphs which are so important in metamorphic petrology. On the other, we have an interesting holder of various REEs. So friends, shall it be #Andalusite or #Monazite-(Ce)? #MinCup26 #geology

Customs and Border Protection claimed that construction on a border security project in Texas was limited to “survey and design” work. The New York Times tracked the activity and found evidence of patrol roads and vehicle barriers already being built. Watch our visual investigation. nyti.ms/46JAhUc

It’s a 4-vote margin with 45 minutes left on the clock. Only one vote per person, but that doesn’t mean you can’t run around ambushing strangers or pestering your group chat to GO VOTE. Campaigning and recruiting is absolutely key to matches this close!

Sometimes (read “always”), my brain wanders off on random tangents making concentration on things I NEED to get done more difficult. This hour’s peculiar pondering… Why is it “awesome” with the “e” but “awful” without the “e?”

Are we having more earthquakes than usual? Nope. I make some version of this video at least once or twice a year. .
