Hot take in the middle of the night and before the flight takes off so I don't know the consequences for hours: I have no desire to watch Oppenheimer.

I tried, like 20 times, but the internet at the airport sucks 😭 grabbed 5 autographed Dana Stabenow books, each $4, and my kid grabbed another 3 books. The Stabenow books are mystery books set in rural Alaska, all with a woman detective protagonist who kicks butt

Long layover on my way back to CT meant I had time to visit my favorite used bookstore in Anchorage, Tidal wave, and grab dinner and boba tea with former undergrad in my lab, now PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh, Rachael Kramp @rayinscience.bsky.social

Does anyone have an npt2 promoter sequence that can be synthesized into a plasmid (and works for expression?) Or, other strong promoter that works across Gram negative bacteria? TIA

Being cute, mostly 😁 But their parents are judged on knowledge of family history, sewing skills, use of traditional materials, and more. Lots of babies had parkas and atiqluks that matched their parents this year

My cousin's kid won the Louvie Harris Baby Contest! That is 6 wins, I think, 4 or 5 in Kotzebue and at least one for WEIO. Way to go Shylena Lie!

Oh, hey, turns out we are still here. As evidenced by me, the person who posted this, and the tens of thousands of Inupiaq who are also still here. Turns out we aren't pretending, that this is who we are. Your ignorance is loud.

You can scroll by. You didn't have to comment on Inupiaq traditions that are thousands of years old, that were almost lost due to forced assimilation, and show how ignorant you are. That was quite the choice.

I also hung out with a woman who knows our region's plants incredibly well, Lorrie Ward. I guarantee that the words are spelled wrong. My dad stores these in seal oil. I only tried the Masu, which my friend Kathy Ward (master dall maker) describes having a parsnip taste.

Science friends … this requires some extra effort to get going, but you could try some of these on Bsky: - host an AMA - share a paper of a colleague and have a convo with them publicly - repost minority authors on days of significance (or 365d/p/y!) - the ol’ Follow Friday thing - use hashtags & 🧪

Yeah, there are a LOT of things companies won't ship to Alaska, including batteries, anything that may have oil, perfumes, anything that is potentially volatile. But there are also companies that won't ship to Alaska and don't say that on their site until you go to check out. Very frustrating.

Begging Duck Duck Go, Google, and Amazon to let shoppers sort by ability to ship to rural Alaska. Just spent 45 minutes trying to find automatic air fresheners that would ship to Alaska for a reasonable cost before giving up. I'll see what's in town tomorrow.
