Another #caturday where Oscar has decided he is better at reviewing papers than I am. Big Boy is just annoyed.

My scheduled appointment @memorialblood.bsky.social was late today because of so many walk ins. Minnesotans help each other! Happy to wait and to do my small part to help the injured.

Also- as always Reviewer 2 is not impressed.

The airplane ears are because he really really liked this proposal- to sit on:) trying not to let my #caturday grant review helper influence my scores too much. Nice to have the company.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

"It feels like they're using DEl as a euphemism for another word, another derogatory word towards people that they don't like," he said.

Just saw the biosafety cabinet I did my PhD in being carted away down the street- it died and a replacement in en route—- odd returning back to the old lab to start my own- grateful that my “previously used” stuff is holding up

Data from over 80,000 US school principals shows that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call.

Chart showing how mothers are more likely to receive the first contact from schools than fathers.

Mothers continue to shoulder the majority of childcare responsibilities even in dual-earner households, contributing to gender gaps in earnings, labour force participation, and career advancement. This column uses an experiment targeting over 80,000 US school principals to show that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call. A further survey saw mothers consistently identified as the primary point of contact across a wide range of domains, including doctors, sports coaches, and religious leaders. Suggestive evidence points to gendered interruptions contributing to broader economic inequality.

So a senior male scientist interrupted me during a lab meeting presentation to randomly ask if anyone wanted the possum he caught as a pet 😳🤷🏻‍♀️ — and that has been the highlight of all the chaos.
