I’m sorry if I was distracted during my last meeting. I couldn’t hear you over my research assistant’s snoring.

With the new school year starting, it’s definitely time to refresh my cheesy office snack supply. I found myself wholly unprepared today and want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Just in case you were worried that I fired my research assistant, she’s here and still as useful as always.

Funding cuts. Banned words. Fired public servants.

Trump & his cronies are dismantling America’s greatest experiment - our democracy - & with it, science.

I’m going to need Teams and Webex to up their beauty filters to Zoom standards. My vanity can’t take it.

Trying to keep a straight face on a zoom call is hard when this is across from you.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

I had the privilege of being interviewed recently to talk about two subjects close to my heart: mental health and the profound connection between humans and animals. Even better? I wasn’t alone as I was joined by two very special co-hosts.

I don’t have popcorn, but I do have a party size bag of nerds clusters from Costco. Who wants to join me for the show?

This is the last time I take my research assistant to work with me at a coffee shop, because I’m pretty sure she’s trying to interview to work with someone else…
