@BridgetWhearty Neville, Ken and I are sending our best

If anyone can spare a good wish or two, I could use it. I don't want to get into specifics. It's just that things are really hard right now. Professionally things are fine. It's the rest of it that's falling apart. So if you have kindness to spare, I could use some.

@rbthisted Fantastic news. Congratulations

Effective today, I will be the Academy’s permanent director of humanities, arts, and culture programs (but continuing to work in D.C. and on the Humanities Indicators).

@KennyGibbsPhD @NIGMSTraining @NIHdpc Wonderful news!

@geomechCooke How horrible. She was an amazing artist and you were both fortunate to have each other as friends and colleagues. 2020 is the WORST

I'm watching a live feed memorial service for a friend who died of covid last week. Gone too soon at 67. In my office hangs a quilt she made me representing the Moab fault after a field trip I led for Deaf HS teachers and students. Good bye Teresa. F*ck 2020...

@geomechCooke Oh that stinks!

I uttered the words "How can 2020 get any worse?" today. This was heard by the negative forces of the universe and now our furnace is broken. Learn from my mistakes. Do not tempt fate!

Chris Wallace now feels the pain of women in meetings.

Abraham Lincoln paid 3x more in taxes in 1864 than Donald Trump in 2016. Not more as a share of his income. More in taxes. Lincoln paid $1981.67 in federal taxes on a salary of $25,000 in 1864-1865. Trump paid $750 in 2016, about one-third what Lincoln paid, but 151 years later.

Warm welcomes to the New Biosciences MS and PhD trainees from Dr. Sheri Krams, Dean Lloyd Minor and Dr. Arturo Molina! View their messages at biosciences.stanford.edu/.../incoming..…

Come hang out on Wednesday!

This man literally told white supremacists to “stand by.”

@geomechCooke So frustrating. Positive change is such a long, hard fight.

That sad feeling of working for several years for more inclusive practices within my department seminars. Then, after handing over the reigns, the needle pops right back to where it was. Yes, I will talk with the leaders but also .. I'm tired.

I read an academic article today about how advisors play a really important role in their PhD students' career interests. I know this and it's worth emphasizing. If you have students, remember your words and deeds can well have an oversized impact on their entire future careers.

Provocative and timely op ed from @catsonatardis How can university demonstrate care for PhD students? She has concrete suggestions Grad schools should halt doctoral admissions in the humanities for two years (opinion) insidehighered.com/advice/2020/08…

@catsonatardis We could do Happy Hour together via Zoom! Maybe with Brian?

@geomechCooke And soups and stews

I appear to be in the therapeutic baking phase of social distancing. Banana bread (last night) and blueberry Pi (today). Thinking about sourdough bread for tomorrow.

@catsonatardis It’s why I am a dog person

@catsonatardis I feel you. My mother lives in a retirement home in Seattle. Oooof.
