Made this, fully expecting my children to not eat it: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025...
Instead, my 4yo exclaimed “I’ve never had orange beans before and they are DELICIOUS!!!”

Wore linen drawstring pants to work today…
Professional looking, but feel like pajamas. Very into it.
lol I was on a Zoom call when it first happened and really thought the end times were upon us
Working from home today and heard the most terrifying noise…like a loud, static-y, alien invasion? Then it happened again…and again…
Finally I realized my kids left their walkie talkie on. Phew!!
Tonight’s dinner (I’m parenting solo rn so extra proud that I made this happen):
🥬 Kale salad with toasted breadcrumbs, parm, golden raisins, and shallot vinaigrette
🥦🧀 Fettucine Alfredo with roasted broccoli
🍓Strawberry rhubarb pie with whipped cream
It’s always had a very distinct scent. When I was there last summer, I was like wow this smells exactly the same as when I was a kid.
Because the green line smells weird!!!
USF College of Public Health mug, sunglasses, water bottle
Bright spot of my day: putting together a little merch for an incoming PhD student who will be visiting campus tomorrow
Just gonna say it: Integrated Learning Experiences are terrible for faculty (and probably not helpful to students) and I don't understand why they are required by CEPH.
I went ham on revising my syllabus for next semester in response to the annoying BS some of my online students like to pull.....
too bad none of them will read it 😭
I’m a vegetarian so I do black olives (salty like ham) and pineapple. I love it!
Well…you. You’re anti WaHo.
Made these sushi nachos on a total whim and OMG they’re amazing
All good. A suspicious package was found on the other side of campus. Not sure why it took so long to realize it wasn’t a threat, but grateful that it wasn’t!
had a guest speaker lecture in my class and we had to pause 6 times b/c of bomb threat alerts...😭
i think all is fine? but damn lol
In theory, one aspect of my job that I really like is that nothing is truly urgent. It’s not like I’m a healthcare provider responsible for people’s lives...
Which is why few things piss me off more than manufactured crises that become my problem after hours / on weekends when I’m with my family.
In case anyone’s wondering, the viral blanket dumplings taste great with impossible meat
I had trouble getting the wonton wrappers to stick to the meatballs but taste-wise this 10/10
Have you ever made a “pizza” (using that term loosely) using garlic naan as a base topped with bbq sauce and smoked cheddar?
The sum is much greater than its parts
Thank you 😊 she’s doing so well
Nope, just interested in public health/data analysis and wanted to learn more. I gave him a little descriptive project to work on. We’ll see!
A high schooler emailed me (really @jkresovich.bsky.social) because he found our R21 on NIH Reporter and thought it sounded cool 🥺
Last night I dreamt I opened a vegetarian restaurant called “Bean Bitch” that served (you guessed it!) dishes made of beans.
Honestly it’s…not a bad idea
Yay!!! I love easy applications
ooooh I need to share this with my undergrad epi class! We're still doing the 'here's a messy dataset, please clean it according to these instructions...' but they inevitably do weird shit like add extra headers and color coding I didn't ask for
Do any of y'all offer incoming PhD students any type of relocation assistance? I would like to be able to do this, but am anticipating institutional roadblocks...
gosh i loooooove talking to scientists in other disciplines so much. like the hydrologists and geologists are all so freaking nice!!!
My veggie sandwich may look humble but it’s soo good.
Swiss, cheddar, mayo, French dressing, drizzle of honey, salt and pep, tomato, lettuce, black olives, red onion, cucumber, banana peppers, and sprouts.
I will say I dunked them in my morning cup of coffee, which did make them taste better
I’m sorry to report that the new Girl Scouts cookie flavor is trash
My colleagues and students are so sweet- I got multiple emails offering prayers and best wishes for my daughter’s surgery last week. I know I bitch a lot on here but I really do feel very grateful for my job and network 💕
