Mentoring early career scientist who applied for a job, was ghosted and now sees the job reposted. She’s upset. I totally understand the emotion. Believe me. But there are so many variables that go into hiring. It does hurt and totally sucks. Move on. There is a home somewhere.

I’m not kidding when I say that music opened my eyes to global politics when I was a kid. I learned about Apartheid from The Specials and Peter Gabriel.

maybe the worst I’ve ever felt was the morning of November 9, 2016, I felt completely hopeless all day we are staring down much worse now, and I’m feeling a lot calmer - possibly because I have my kids now, and I’m responsible for making a world for them to live in giving up is not an option

Today’s SCOTUS rulings drives home the concept that if Joe Biden is POTUS, the country will be fine. If Donald Trump is POTUS, the country will not be fine. Character matters…

Fire grilled füd is one of the best smells. Vegetables, poultry, fish, red meat, fungi, whatever… anything is made better by grilling or roasting over flames.

The bad part about working on a Core Grant on Sunday is that I am working. The good news is that I got to go for a spin in a veritable street legal go-kart.

CNN has not learned. Bannon himself said: “The Democrats don’t matter, The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.” CNN simply did not know how to deal with a torrent of lies and disinformation.

Y’all are trying to be snarky and funny. But this is literally fascism vs. democracy. That’s the debate. Nothing more. Do we want a future defined by fascism? Or democracy? That’s your choice.
