My hot take on the new season of Jury Duty Company Retreat is how in the hell did this guy not already have a permanent job somewhere?! Anthony is quite probably the single purest and most genuine person on the planet and some place had not already hired him?! I want to hire him!?

A colleague recently told me that, while watching my Lehrprobe over 1.5 years ago now, they had the distinct urge to "want to be a student again" because of my teaching style

New PI life is tough at times, but man can good colleagues make a huge difference

Things that have the same energy:

tossing frozen food packaging before fully reading the instructions

and

clicking rapidly through a journal's proof tutorial before realizing you actually dont know to use it and it actually is NOT intuitive

I never thought I'd be emailing the chair of my department with "If a nuclear war starts tonight, do I just hold class tomorrow morning or what?"

As I point out regularly, because FL is one of the most primitive, regressed states in America, you cannot be elected or appointed to any office there unless you’re a thoroughly despicable and corrupt criminal.

So proud of my home, Brevard County, FL, for being on display last night with the Artemis II launch!!

Brevard has not been on its best behavior in the last 10-16 years, but tonight it reminds us of why it is called the "Space Coast"

I also have to say, something else I have found invaluable is finding people along the way to provide guidance, advice, and just drop a line to check-in. Having mentors and friends within Academia is a blessing
