@unc_cbp. Enabling others to harness the power of light microscopy. Opinions and typoes my own. she/her
And now we snuggle with our "micro dog", Bertie, reading Magnificent Makers by @doctheagrif.bsky.social .

Blanket's an axolotl snuggie (my Halloween costume), which always makes be think of @rogerslabucd.bsky.social .

So thankful for these amazing scientists sharing their passion.

I am so lucky.

Some joy for the darkness: Almost-8yo doesn't care that there's only 3/4in of sleet+snow and it's 20F, she's sledding on the almost flat driveway, dammit!

And a good lesson in seeing the possibilities when things aren't perfect.

Label the stuff you might leave in random places. The people who find then will usually contact you!

Always a treat when I can make it to the PhD defense of a HIC user. Looking forward to great science and images from Andrew Kennedy.

This stuff. I cannot remember why it was disliked, just that it was decidedly Inferior. And the way it melted in your mouth generated wicked sharp edges.

Sharing my desk pet, Bertie, in case you don't have your own.

Needed to look up something fundamental, so hit the books.

Miss these titans in the field.

They had very different personalities but shared dedication to microscopy access and discovery.

Awww.
The gray fox in our yard with a load of kits underneath. Glad we live far away.

Make that coop super secure. Our backyard foxes showed up yesterday and today we found 2 chicken feet in the yard 😬. Mom and 6 kits are all adorable.

Beauty and joyful moments can be very fleeting. But duration doesn't define value. Pause a second to really experience them if you can't pause for longer.

Same flower, 24hr and a strong rain storm later. Still beautiful, but differently.

Magnolia flower outside my building. Find the beauty amongst the practicalities (like loading docks).

Belated public Happy Mother's Day to my mom. Her amazing home management and editorial skills were a critical (and acknowledge) part of my dad's success. They have always been both a team and their own people, in different ways. She embodies unconditional love with lots of pragmatism. I am so lucky.

Soaking up the beauty and the calm before microscopy begins.
I'm so very fortunate!

Parking deck at work has a lot less cars than usual. I hope they're going to Stand Up For Science!

My brother's 4.5lb pup. A bit unsure about being held by the 7yo and enjoying 6 rolls in the grass on the way to the office one day.
