This happened to us back in May. I’m not a fan of having to check two email platforms... But I’m almost more annoyed with myself for drinking the outlook koolaid and embracing the app 🤬

Last week in #MarineSymbiosis we talked about sea slug kleptoplasty. Turns out the (algal) chemical defense benefits are from potent bacterial kahalahide production! The students pushed themselves to understand the paper's bio- & chem-informatic methods. #TWIMS 🖥️ 🧬 🧪 www.science.org/doi/full/10....

"There are nearly 26,000 students at Cornell but just 3 full-time investigators...~ 2,860 people are sexually assaulted each year. Even if only 10% of those victims reported, a single investigator would have a caseload of 95/year. For the same body of students, there is 1 full-time victim advocate."

it's one of our quirky lab traditions (to label & recapture our sharpies). My PhD advisor always wanted to do a sharpie mark & recapture study & publish it in the journal of irreproducible results. so my reward to myself after my 1st wk at this job was to label all of my sharpies (& start the study)

#TWIMS we covered #epibiosis & Decorator Crabs! During last year's iteration of the class, close to 50% of students chose to focus on this symbiosis so I added it this year. Also got to shoutout the #crabs in last night's #Survivor51 episode. #MarineSymbiosis 🦀🧽🤿🧪 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Something I wasn't expecting with #eldercare was the amount of "stuff" one accumulates aka the ever depressing 'downsize haul.' Have yet to process most of the stuff from last month's moves but brought in dad's retirement plaque to my science trophy shelf! The legacy of the Drs Reich continues 🤓

This semester in #newPI x #eldercare… Has been off to a tumultuous start. LDW travel plans went sideways due to eldercare so broski & I wound up adulting at home. Silver linings included game night, therapeutic yardwork, and a beach walk with a rainbow & impromptu fam reunion. Time for week 3? 😴🫠
