Peter Stormare during a Q&A session in Fargo.

He’s actually doing an appearance in Fargo right now, so it wasn’t him! Not sure how I feel about a Peter Stormare doppelgänger…

A live map of MN traffic conditions with very few snow plows.

Come on @mndot.mn.gov, it’s supposedly snowmageddon out here and these are the only plows you’ve got out there?!

I didn't have a #ForAllMankind reality crossover on my bingo card for 2026. #yikes

tbh I'd love to see a 1 sentence tldr in grant proposals. that's pretty genius!

4-panel Comic "Women in Science" by War and Peas. 1. Man in ancient clothes and wig enters the room. He says, "I've returned from my trip to the future!" 2. "Women are doing science!" 3. Another man answers, "But there's still structural inequality and sexism making it difficult for them?" 4. "YES!" "Thank God!"

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

@olsonista.bsky.social does such wonderful, RIGOROUS work in this area. We in science and society are so lucky to have her!

Super excited to attend the opening night for #Initiative tomorrow at the public! Sounds like I’m in for a night of millennial perfection

It’s grad school application season, and I wanted to give some public advice.

Admittedly, it could be a legit food pantry run at the library w/ access to these prices. We don’t know! But even if it’s not a formal pantry, the library could buy with the same bulk pricing. Cash = flexibility to meet community needs.

(Context: I’ve done research and volunteered at pantries).

Because food pantries have access to special pricing and can buy things for PENNIES at costs we could never find, even when buying in bulk.

Having a giant waiting area is the biggest lab flex :)

And for today in "news I didn't expect to hear, but..."

How do we make America healthy again and work to improve child health if we slash the budget for chronic disease prevention efforts by 98%?

Replying to this so I remember for when I’m in Denver again in 2026!

A view of dodger stadium in Los Angeles, on a sunny day with the sky dotted with clouds.

LET’S GO DODGERS! From growing up watching games on my grandpa’s knee to games in person with some of my favorite people and LA views, I’ll always rep my hometown team. Thrilled about our back-to-back win this year!

AI hallucinated citations are now showing up in court decisions too…

Tylenol is over 130 years old — why is it still the gold-standard painkiller? Acetaminophen is one of the safest drugs around, but scientists still don’t know how it reduces pain and fever.

Tylenol, or paracetamol, has been used to treat common pains and fevers since 1893, and is one of the safest drugs around

In January of 2021, photos started bouncing round the internet of this deeply weird thing happening in the sky above Glasgow, Scotland. Photoshop trickery?

The bizarre truth:
- yes, everyone really saw these
- no, they're not faked or manmade
- they absolutely don't exist.

So... I did some analysis of grants that did receive noncompetitive renewals.

In particular, I looked a those award where the title of the grant changed.

Warning: The results are just what I expected, but oooph...

How institutions pivot regarding this for current employees might say a lot about whether they’re really “good places to work.” Reminds me of my institution’s Covid policies, which were pretty outstanding

This is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever read and people who talk like this need to go touch grass.

LLM tools only have real case uses in very limited areas when the people using them are actual experts in their fields and can check it carefully for its bullshit.

So, not students.

They are senior level undergrads mostly. If you think that would work for them, I’m all ears!
