One of the wild parts of grad school is realizing I've been teaching longer than most of the professors there

fun fact: chilis (capsicum) are native to the americas, but europeans first encountered habanero fruits by going east to asia, where the seeds had already made their way via the silk road. that's why habaneros are called "Capsicum chinense" in latin despite not being from china at all

Your periodic reminder that people are *more* abusive online when they're using their "real names" than when they're using a persistent pseudonym and this effect has been replicated in literally every study that has ever been done

the phrase "do it scared" has done so much for my mental health i cannot stress how lifechanging it is to realize: if you are scared of doing something (especially if it can be beneficial to you), you cannot wait for yourself to not be scared. it will always seem scary. you have to do it scared

There are two competing electric rent-a-scooter companies on campus, but their ranges are split right down the middle of campus. I was very confused about this until someone explained it's their solution to keeping kids from throwing scooters in the river that runs through campus

like i know WHY we do it, the benefits, the research is a net moral positive, I get it. Not saying we should stop. But like... cranial shaving? Tumor inducing genetic breeding? Head locking? This is horror movie level stuff.

Like I knew that peanuts grow underground but I thought it was like potatoes, I didn't know the plant fertilizes in the flowers and then send down pegs from the stems that pierce the soil and they grow underground under the aboveground flower 🧪🌾

This doesn't sound like much but these beans are super photoperiod sensitive and we didn't even think they would flower outside of Peru. Now that we know they CAN flower we can figure out how to make them flower 🧪🌾

I got my photoperiod sensitive nuña beans to sprout! So excited, we didn't think they would sprout outside of Peru without an expensive greenhouse setup and taking the popping trait to other dry beans. Next step is breeding out photoperiod sensitivity! 🌾🧪

Me making fun of other people in academia

Plant B @plantb.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

It's especially bad for us academics because according to my cursory googling AI checkers ping academic writing more than other types because of its overly formal tone 😮‍💨

yeah i mean im on the same page but if someone is reading 5000 scholarship applications the first filter they're going to run them through is an AI checker

020

Plant B @plantb.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

on top of everything else to consider when I'm writing, I have to make sure that I sound "human enough" for the AI checkers. From what I can tell, this often entails drastically lowering the quality of your writing in order to "maintain varied sentence structure"

spent three hours writing a scholarship essay only for three different AI checkers to say it was 17%, 42%, and 88% AI generated. I'm cooked guys. This sucks 🧪🌾
