I tell you what, the symphony at this point is a pretty unbelievable bargain. Costs about the same as a big touring pop act, usually, and it's 100 of the world's best musicians, playing literal stradivariuses and shit, playing their hearts out for you? doesn't even sell out, usually? WILD

Passing through the Bighorns after visiting Sheridan College - on the way to Northwest College. Community colleges provide affordable access to higher ed for millions and enroll twice the number of students than all the private colleges and universities combined.

FIRSTLY as the piece alludes: Loren Rex Cameron’s also-trans and arguably more famous older sister, Cameron, was a I believe fully stealth working model and actress (a la plot of Pose) in the 80s and 90s mostly … I rewatched like I dunno, dozens of TNG episodes, where she appeared as Ensign Kellogg:

Please stop telling high school students to cold email university professors. Really, just stop. If you are a high school student looking for research opportunities, search and apply to the myriad of formal training programs that cater specifically to your education level.

Molecular biologist Dr. Shirley Tilghman (b. #OTD in 1946) discovered genomic imprinting. + Founding member, NIH Nat'l Advisory Council for the Human Genome Project (her guidance directly shaped how the 3 billion base pairs of human DNA were mapped) + 1st female president of Princeton #WomenInSTEM
A professional outdoor portrait of Dr. Shirley Tilghman (born September 17, 1946), the groundbreaking molecular biologist and first female president of Princeton University. Captured from the chest up, she stands in a relaxed, forward-facing pose against a softly blurred background of lush green trees and foliage. She smiles warmly and widely directly at the camera, projecting an approachable and confident demeanor. Her straight, chin-length silver hair is styled with a side part, elegantly framing her face. She wears a light beige or off-white structured blazer layered over a matching tan collarless shirt, with a prominent standing tan linen collar framing her neckline. A distinctive modern necklace made of small, cylindrical metallic tubes alternating in silver and dark grey tones adds a polished accent. The natural daylight creates a bright, uplifting composition, evoking a mood of professional excellence, joyful intellect, and historic leadership in academia and STEM.
