All of this is treason. Putting our country and our people at risk in so many ways.

We had so much fun. 4 households in our kitchen. Nothing beats it! The kids grabbed food and took over the basement. Perfection ♥️

My heart hurts so much. Knowing that our current regime wants to destroy some of the best things and hurt so many is just beyond comprehension.

Nothing makes me happier than a house full of people I love. My neighbors are some of my closest friends. Every so many weeks, I’ll gather them for a random Appy Hour. Last night was just what I needed. A house full of love, food, drink, and laughter ♥️

Kona was ever present.

This is beyond bad. All of our disease defenses are down now. We are sitting ducks. This is #RussellVought #DonaldTrump #RFKJr. They are endangering American lives with their insane crusade. These men are hazardous to your health and dangerous to the republic. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

The CDC was destroyed last night. Our federal public health infrastructure will no longer exist. It has major & long-lasting repercussions that will impact the health of everyday people in the U.S. &beyond💔

I’m a tenured professor with an endowed chair.

Looking back, I don’t think the freshly minted PhD version of me could land a job in today’s market. I was smart, I was driven — but mostly, I was lucky.

More of us in academia need to admit that.
