I’ve started wearing a hat at work most days because I like hats. Particularly backwards baseball hats. The students have no opinion on this but man are my co-workers in other colleges and department confused by this. You can be an academic and not wear a blazer. It’s ok friends.

Phys-fest 1 was 9 years ago?!?

Wow. How do say goodbye to the appliance that taught many people on many internet platforms a new and exciting way to make ramen and ruin @kheyduk.bsky.social’s day?

Academia may not give you job security, flexibility, or wealth, but it will let you unexpectedly connect to eduroam in foreign cities

For me, the real humbling bit of this was: you HAVE to keep a regularly updated list of every student who goes on a lab field trip or spends a semester cleaning glassware, otherwise you absolutely will not be able to remember them all at Tenure Time

Karolina Heyduk @kheyduk.bsky.social · Aug 4

Hey! New faculty! Your annual reminder to keep track of *everything* you do in some way or another. I just dump stuff into a Google doc, nothing fancy, but saves a ton of time when working on promotion & tenure docs.

(Ask me what I'm working on right now...!) 🧪

Were you who was drawing cats of Botany in 2021?

Ugghhhh a little while back someone posted 4 questions they ask students to answer on the first day of classes. One question was something along the lines of “what would help you succeed in this class” and I cannot find the post. So if that was you, please tell me.

The lack of a Palm lined pool filled with all my friends at my house is really bringing me down.

Behold the Beef N Latke! This baby fed me for a whole day. I know @martinebotany.bsky.social tried this beast at #botany2025 and I hope others did as well.

A mountain of corned beef sandwiched between two potato latkes. With applesauce and sour cream on the side and a side of coleslaw. From Sherman’s Deli in Palm Springs, CA
