Big news: I am honored to announce that I am the recipient of an @NSF CAREER Award to study sea turtle reproductive strategies.

@AshleyGWinter @jennifer_rohs Or just offer the potty. a.co/d/1BLHmtL

@jennifer_rohs Brilliant

Well my newborn son peed all over himself when I removed his diaper which frightened him & he started crying & I started laughing at how charmingly pathetic newborns are.

@AshleyGWinter Not pathetic at all. They are born with an instinct not to wet or soil themselves. It is very smart of them to pee with their diapers off. Have you heard of elimination communication?

I have mostly moved over to posting and scrolling on Bluesky. I hope to connect with you there!

@smbrander Ooh, I think I need this recipe.

In the U.S. the percentage of people making chocolate mug cakes before bed as a coping mechanism has increased by 80% in the past week.

Can I just go back to bed until 2029?

NB: Karen is optimistic about my promotion to Associate Professor. My packet is currently under consideration, but hopefully that will follow in the summer...

I am looking forward to this new responsibility and continuing a legacy of sea turtle research and conservation initiated by Archie Carr.

Some official news: I am honored to add a new title in 2025 to become Director of the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research.

@chris_harrod I just sent an email with some refs. I am happy to confer more if you still have other questions.

@hanvanzan Thanks for the super quick reply! Our C:N values vary between 3.5 - 4.1. I'll need to check with the student as to what exactly the samples are...

Hi @hanvanzan - do you know if there is a C:N arithmetic lipid correction for green turtle skin d13C? We have some tiny samples and I'm a bit wary to risk affecting their d15N values

@ass_deans This is eerily accurate. Were you at my faculty meeting yesterday?

Saying it’s in the bylaws doesn’t put it in the bylaws…. Unless I say it is in the bylaws

We have a rule against that. It’s just not written down anywhere.

@Shark_eye_sci Congrats!

Today was a good Monday… I was awarded my department’s graduate deans dissertation fellowship AND travel fellowship AND a teaching service award!

This morning I got a call from a 202 area code number I didn’t recognize, but I answered anyway. The person on the other end said, “Mayor Ward, I’m calling from President Biden’s office, do you have time to talk to the president?” 1/ @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @DemMayors

NCBS is closed until further notice & Seahorse Key is unsafe for visitors due to erosion, so we’re canceling all events for the year to focus on recovery. Cedar Key City Hall is still accepting volunteers, or donate directly to our lab rebuild efforts at bit.ly/rebuildNCBS.

@pjsmilez @NSF Hello Peter! Thanks for the message. Sadly, I don’t make time for dancing anymore…

@hanvanzan @NSF Congratulations Hannah! Glad to see you are thriving in your career. -Peter V.

See this blue on radar. These are birds stuck in the eye of Hurricane Milton!

A new interface for the tenure and promotion process is being launched at UF. It is going to be ugly (literally, if you speak Spanish).
