It's official! I just accepted a faculty position at UCLA. Starting this summer, I will be joining the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology dept and the Learning Sciences Core as an Asst Prof of Teaching. I'm very excited to be joining this great group of educators.

if you are white, and especially if you are perceived as a cis man, one of the most important skills you can practice right now to meaningfully resist fascism now and in the future is the art of being a *polite inconvenience*

I support trans rights; I recognise and respect trans people and their right to exist the same as others; I resent and object to the tired lies that bigots promote. Trans rights are human rights.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Diversity of experience is important for academia, and barriers for people from underrepresented groups - like first-generation students - continue to persist.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
