Been awhile since I've had a pretty McKeldin sunrise to share

UMD's McKeldin Mall. The sky is pale blue with a smattering of peachy clouds just above the library at the end of the mall. You can see the orange-tinted library in the reflecting pool. In the immediate foreground is a half-folded Brompton, a similar color as the blue sky.

We just published the first study showing that a bird-of-prey goes through an ontogenetic window of exploratory play. Young goshawks look like young cheetahs when tossing pine cones into the air, chasing after them. Just published in Animal Behaviour: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/4

Discovered in the 11th hour that our lab's actual poster tube has been lost so here's my solution to cycle home tonight 😂 See you soon @grc-frontal-cortex.bsky.social!

A long cardboard tube. An improvised shoulder strap has been attached, comprising two trash bags that were tied to each other and to the tube.

Also worth noting that I know it does not work like this at other institutions within the University System of Maryland. Wild (and confusing) how much things differ institution to institution, even within the same system

I will never understand why so many universities effectively punish trainees for winning funding. At UMD, F32s come with: 1) a small pay cut (unless PI has non-grant funds to supplement), 2) loss of retirement benefits & employee health insurance, 3) quarterly, non-tax withheld salary payments

Earlier in the week my neighbor told me he's seen hummingbirds at my beebalm! I am loving the vibrancy of my garden these days, they are living their best life in spite of my absolute neglect

Yellow black eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta) flowers in front of the magenta blooms of scarlet beebalm (Monarda didyma), all amidst leafy greenery

Cute pale purple clusters of flowers of the nodding onion (Allium cernuum). In the background you can see some of the black eyed susan and beebalm flowers

Pink clusters of flowers of the swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). There are also some fuzzy periwinkle-colored blue mistflowers (Conoclinium coelestinum)

I walked to the grocery store and discovered a new little free library, had a random teenage girl walk by me and tell me she loved me and to have a good afternoon, and walked by a guy dressed and signing like he thought he was in a white guy 90s rap video. I love it here.

I love this piece. I love that someone else has spent as much time as I have over the past few weeks musing over why this feels so important, why we care so much. I can't even pull a quote from it because I love it all so much.

It’s worth the time to read, and it’s worth the time to comment. No, it’s not completely futile. Even if the current admin steamrolls ahead, comments become part of the record that legislatures, judges, and advocates can use in the future.

This could be very VERY BAD. It looks like a way to remove transparency of peer review, which would enable political apparatchiks to have much more power over decisions on where grant money goes.
