Student emailed me tonight asking for a letter of recommendation for a really cool paid internship. I’m absolutely going to write it as soon as I figure out how to be more specific than “they do really cool stuff and you should totally hire them!”

Cleaning and organizing my lab and office, I found this wonderful piece of creative extra credit art made by a student in one of my first year classes. The details are things I talked about in class and lab. #retirement #happyprof @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV

Grading midterm projects - just got utterly floored by how good a freshmen's project was. She's been turning in really solid work all semester, but this is a textbook perfect mix with a great use of overdubs in the session. And the song just rocks... #HappyProf

Just uploaded my first letter of recommendation for a student applying for a Fulbright. Pretty easy to recommend this student, except I had to stay under two pages. #HappyProf

I just want to say that the pre-service teachers in my math instruction class are killing it in the lesson plan delivery videos I'm having them do. Very creative and appear to be quite comfortable with the instruction and error correction. #happyprof #EduSky #mathinstruction #AcademicBluesky

Late night computer music midterm grading. These students are killing it! #HappyProf

Our students made me wear my Christmas jumper for the final lecture of the year 😂. They are wonderful!

Two classes into course I'm teaching this term on social identity and inclusion and my students are already awesomely engaged. #happyprof
