So emotional seeing my first-ever teaching evaluations! 😭 Creating all the materials from scratch was tough, but incredibly rewarding.

I put a lot of thought into what students need in the AI era—sharing the complete class materials here in case they're helpful: clsong.github.io/EEB_C234/01_...

I feel so honored to be mentioned by #2025MMM. Spotted skunks are the best

In the midwest, a lone Spotted Skunk is out hunting. Spotted skunks are rare in this area, Actual Living Scientist @amandacheeseman.bsky.social & colleagues showed historical skunk populations crashed following diet changes from shifting agricultural practices. (Cheeseman, 2020) #2025MMM

We should all be mad but for some additional context on where to direct the anger Universities and schools received this letter- basically they risk losing all federal funding if they don’t comply with the DEI orders: www.ed.gov/media/docume...

NSF grants/fellowships weren’t just given out willy-nilly, these are our colleagues doing elite peer-reviewed work, for which they should be supported and lauded.

They call it a database but that’s a funny way to say “list for targeted harassment or worse.”

Lucky enough to visit Antarctica over the holidays and met the best seals- figured Bluesky needed to meet them too

Amanda Cheeseman @amandacheeseman.bsky.social · Jan 11

Oh for sure! It’s much easier to agree to review a paper 3-4 weeks from now- that’s future Amanda problem vs one due next week

Amanda Cheeseman @amandacheeseman.bsky.social · Jan 11

Missed the poll but 21-28 days would be my preference. It takes a bit of time to be able to work it into the schedule
