Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
Thank you!

Our favorite prairie was recently controlled burned. So this morning’s walk looked a bit different. #AustralianCattleDog #PublicLands

Proof MDs need more, not less, chemistry?
Trying to get better at saying no to extraneous service work. But also know I have to live with the policy outcomes…

First day of classes for @msstate.bsky.social today!
Excited to teach a new cohort of graduate students all about mass spec!
#TeamMassSpec #ChemSky
Looks like this opportunity has been archived. Would love to know about any other programs aimed at training scientists in education research or otherwise bridging the gap between teaching practitioners and education research (in higher ed).

“Cox Hall, built in 1960, was named after Gertrude Cox, the first woman to become full professor at North Carolina State University, who reached this position in 1942.”
GLP-1 agonists (eg Ozempic) are showing promise to reduce alcohol drinking and perhaps opioid use. This is, of course, a potential therapeutic success which arises from the random walking of science, not an “efficient” directed research program.
And she has a building named after her @ncstate.bsky.social !

Me as an author: can’t wait to get this manuscript off my desk and into peer review so I can relax over the holidays!
Me as a journal editor: who submits a paper right before the holidays? Obviously we won’t be able to find any peer reviewers for weeks!
Attended commencement this morning. Love celebrating student success and achievement!
Some foliage from a recent walk. #Mississippi #NaturePhotography
