Those mandarins are gorgeous! Like many here, our tree has greening. I keep thinking each year will be the last, but the ugly fruit still makes good juice

Today for our 25th wedding anniversary my wife got our son to bust into my intro bio class - that’s me in the front talking about DNA replication - to deliver a gigantic bouquet of flowers. Total power move! Love you, Jenny!!!

This week we had excellent promotion seminars by these two stellar scientists and wonderful colleagues - Bryn Durham and Amanda Subalusky - it’s such a treat to get to work with such great people (only pic I’ve got of them together, end of grad recruitment weekend was getting wild!)

Real dilemma for our south Florida students: endure a few more days at home before classes start, or face the bitter cold of Gainesville

Greenland is beautiful and tons of plants are flowering in the short summer, but yeah flying from Copenhagen across the country most of the trip is over ice, you see the tundra only just before you land

Here’s the kind of cryptic doublespeak emails we did get from Sasse. Were those op-eds in the Atlantic and WSJ really written from “a posture of epistemological humility”? Did they really promote “an environment free from fear of reprisal”? We’re paying a lot for this BS
