Like Belle with shelves of rocks instead of books. (But I would take that library any day, too!) Searching for powders of some samples I'm polishing, to use for XRD. I guess searching for rocks is today's theme... #DayOfScience #ScienceAThon

Got some awful awful news from the UH ohana last night. I always admired Jasper, a really wonderful human. If everyone could send a little extra care and love to this broken world today, it would mean a lot.

Jasper Konter. My PhD advisor, and one of the best, kindest, most brilliant humans I know. Fantastic mentor, an ongoing collaborator, and occasional awkward clothing twin (see photo). Gone far too soon. I'm shattered.

I have alternated between weeping and rage too many times to count today. I don't even want to send my son to daycare tomorrow, I just want to squish him in my arms all day. What the FUCK is wrong with this country. My heart aches for the families of Uvalde.
Heidi Stevens@HeidiStevens13

or learn the shameful parts of U.S. history or have “love is love” photos in their yearbooks and honestly, what the fuck are we doing. All those dead children. All those broken families. Mothers who fed and bathed and loved those babies and trimmed their little fingernails …

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

@LeaderMcConnell Your prayers mean nothing without action. If you and fellow GOP members are so heartbroken, DO SOMETHING. This is a gun problem and an American problem, and the GOP actively enables this utterly tragic violence. Guns kill people. Children. DO SOMETHING.

Horrified and heartbroken by reports of the disgusting violence directed at innocent schoolkids in Uvalde, Texas. The entire country is praying for the children, families, teachers, and staff and the first responders on the scene.

@EricRSammons It irks me that it's only the "physical reason" taken into account, by this MAN who knows best. What about the huge numbers of women who are simply too exhausted or don't want to deal with the pain and constant need to feed or pump? It's often not compatible with modern life.

A mom who can’t breastfeed for physical reasons shouldn’t feel any more guilty than a blind man who can’t see. There’s no moral failing in either case. At the same time, we should all still acknowledge that God designed women to breastfeed and eyes to see.

Yesterday I was part of a discussion on paper writing and I would like to share a tidbit that has stayed with me for many years regarding writing a paper's introduction: Write it like you're crafting the movie version of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
