Friendly neighborhood biology teacher working on better assessment and grading practices (UBC). Permanently under construction. Say hey to your dog for me! 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @ubc
Do you steer the luge? Or is it just hold on and hope for the best

I just had a piece accepted in a museum exhibition

(It’s the museum of personal failure, thanks for asking)

Big news: My autoimmune thing is almost completely controlled with the enzyme that digests histamine (DAO)

But it’s hard to find in 🇨🇦 , so I’m back across the border every few weeks to pick it up 🙄

I made my neighbor a sweater and left it on her porch this morning. Look at her - she’s so proud 🥹❤️

I did not grow up in a paper towel family. I do not buy them, but my spouse does. He asked me to pick up some paper towels and WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE??

#3. (Last one to noodle on for now)

Student w/ severe sleep disorder. Cannot be accountable for anything time related. We designed a specific project in my lab that was robust to disruption BUT big picture- how does this work in a team OR w/ regular labs w/o the flexibility

#2: Part of science in most labs is presenting work to others. We have students who cannot do this under any version including prerecording. How do we equitably accommodate while still training in scientific communication?

Here is my 1st hurdle:

We see increasing need for students to NOT work in groups. I’ve figured this out for my lab, but for general science guidelines (think chem), limitations on space/reagents/etc necessitate group work.

Scored a vintage GAP tracksuit at the thrift

(Y’all can see where I’m going with this.)

Also scored more vintage Christmas stuff!

Fashion advice needed:

Is this vintage dress too white for a guest at a summer beach wedding? (It’s cream, not white)

Today I faced another mental block and tried pole - (also my regular aerial yoga). Yay me!

This is correct.
Maybe a hot take but all pie is good pie. And pie is better than cake. Or cookies. Or ice cream. It is the best dessert ever.

Afternoon groups are here!

This project is looking at most effective concentration of EtOH to prevent E. coli growth AND how long 70% is effective post treatment 🧫
