Merchandising idea for my local Total Wine, build a STEM themed endcap display. You can start with these.

Had to cut out of AAPT early to head to the @calbridge.bsky.social Doctoral Summer Institute, but at least I was rewarded with our ice cream cart for afternoon breaks!

In the spirit of #AAPTSM26 and me climbing to the back of my closet looking for high school punk rock Sara photos, here is my first AAPT membership card I found!

Excited to be heading to Pasadena tomorrow for #AAPTSM26. Any physics friends here going?

Pre-gamed graduation enough to finally order PhD regalia from Stony Brook because I am jealous of my colleagues with cooler robes than my generic Amazon ones.

A 12 cabin resort in Belize in an uncommonly rainy week is how murder mysteries begin. I am both here for it and want to get out before I am a suspect.

No proper celebration until all the paperwork is done, but I think I just pulled the "Campus grant office messed up. Error in your favor." Chance card in Academic Monopoly.

Thesis feedback for my first ever masters student, who is amazing and basically supervised himself because I am the world's okayest advisor.

This is going to be either the best or dumbest thing I've put in my office.

My kid asked for an algebra book. He doesn't know what these mean but was very excited to show me his "first graphs" this morning.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

My kid started writing his own math problems and he's really into E=mc^2 and Einstein for some reason. Wonder where he gets it.

A "Faculty Learning Community" is not actually a Learning Community if you don't spend a significant amount of time building the community in the first place. End rant.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Currently reviewing internal grants and, I'm not sure if this is in the instructions but if it is, faculty should be penalized in the rankings if they put their names in what is supposed to be an anonymous proposal.

My department is hiring and looking for a physicist to join us! We are a lot of fun and have lots of candy and snacks so if that doesn't convince you to apply I don't know what will. (Also feel free to share this!) careers.csusb.edu/en-us/job/55...

Do bands on a multi-band "emo" night coordinate their cover songs for minimal overlap? I mean I am totally up for multiple versions of Scotty Doesn't Know but I don't need multiples of many other songs.

They’re making sure to get the Vatican national anthem some spins here because they know there’s no way any of the Cardinals are winning the 110m hurdles at the Olympics

Proof that it's not all in my head and, yes, I probably take on too much.
