This image captures an interesting macro view of a red tulip’s interior, photographed from directly above to showcase its dramatic natural geometry. The composition centers on the flower’s reproductive structures, the prominent pistil and surrounding stamens, which create a bold focal point against contrasting color zones. The photograph features a vivid gradient moving from the brilliant scarlet petals at the outer edges through warm golden-orange transitional zones to deep black markings at the flower’s base. The anthers display rich crimson-red tones with textured surfaces, while the central pistil extends upward like a delicate pink ray, creating strong vertical interest. The black brush-like markings radiate outward from the center in a dramatic starburst pattern, providing striking contrast against the warm orange inner petals. The shallow depth of field keeps the reproductive structures sharply focused while the petals show soft, painterly qualities with subtle gradations. A glimpse of striped red-and-white petals in the lower left corner suggests adjacent blooms, adding contextual depth to the frame.

White America had a choice. History shows, time and again, how often it failed to solicit the moral courage required to do what was right.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not invent that failure; he exposed it. Armed only with truth, conviction, and disciplined love, 👇🏾

it takes a very menacing
deep-seated hatred
depravity of the soul
and poverty of the mind
to #stoop
to harming, terrorizing
and killing innocents
in the streets
for a paycheck

As a young child, my first visit to a modern art museum connected everything for me - science, mathematics, visual poetry, culture, humanity, intellect, curiosity, and exploration. I knew that type of world is where I belonged.

Millions of us had our lives changed because of David Bowie. He showed us “the importance of distinctive, 🕊️ disobedient imaginative actions, if we only care to try.” Blazing a trail of musical trends, reinventing himself sustained by an intellectual curiosity.

How long until 47 and the clown cronies decide who can or can’t read the papers we publish in American scientific journals?

I’m extremely concerned that this is now a factor in choosing where to publish the scientific work. We have already lost critical fundings. 👩🏻‍🔬🧪

The attached photo captures a tight cluster of vibrant roses blooming amid lush green foliage, evoking a serene garden scene with a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. Petals showcase a stunning spectrum of rich, warm oranges transitioning smoothly to softer peachy pinks and apricot hues at the edges, accented by subtle yellow undertones that glow like a sunset under diffused, sun-kissed light. The low-contrast lighting, hazy bokeh in the blurred background, and misty edges create an impressionistic, painterly effect, dissolving sharp details into creamy softness for a sense of peaceful intimacy and lingering beauty, perfectly framed by cool green leaves.

In that moment, coming into frame, before the shutter clicks, a kind of communion is frozen in time.

It is the east…no, really, it’s just the east at dawn from my dirty kitchen window. Any excuse to whip out a camera, ya know?

Twilight lengthens. It does it slowly like grief once did. The river touches the banks again and again. The sun withdraws. The birds turn, obedient to what remains. So many are absent now. We #reminisce with #gratitude among what we miss.

After the first day of finals, participating in a prescribed burn. Most people don't realize that ATX is nestled in a high-risk wildfire zone. As both wildfire/flood risks rise across the country, and wildfire season is growing longer, other cities are watching what we do here. #Academia #STEM 🤓🧪

If you go out into the world with curious amazement and sincere gramercy, the world will eventually greet you with the same attributes. One of the best parts of opening your heart & mind to any exploration is the coming home to yourself. 🫶🏻
