Beautiful night for a walk

Graduated with my M.A. in history from The University of Alabama! Proud to announce I received the UGA Doctoral Fellows Award and will be pursuing my PhD in history at the University of Georgia!

I am delighted to say that I finally submitted to my editor a full draft of The Universality of Emotion: Perspectives from the Sciences and Humanities.

The most laborious 35k words I've ever written -- but I'm happy with how it turned out, I think! 😂

“A total of $3 billion will be wiped off millions of Australians’ student debts for tertiary education”

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Dahlia and I are doing a three-part Amicus series on how originalism ate the law: The Trick, The Trap, and What We About It.

Part 1, The Trick, is out today! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ami…

Part 2 comes next week.

Part 3 is LIVE in DC on May 14!

Read it. Mastered it. And now I’m teaching others.

So, yes, people should be worried. This Oxford series is very informative.

Maybe it’s finally time for me to see if Oxford Academic will team up to get these made.

37 years ago at my late mother's graduation from The College of New Rochelle; I graduated from SUNY Fredonia the week prior. My late dad, who couldn't read, held us both down as we pursued our education.

It’s been 2 entire days since I was informed I did not get the TT job my department seemed keen to set up *for me*, that they put me through the full interview process for down to recommendations, and only *1* person besides the search chair bothered to try to speak to me at all

Happy #MayThe4th , Chews ♥️

That’s me! 🥰

It’s someone’s BIRTHDAY

Lucille Clifton

It’s official!

I’m excited to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota this summer!

I might soon write a big picture piece about the last decade of student organizing. Bc this photo (by Robert Cohen/St. Louis Post-Dispatch) of hundreds of students surrounding a campus encampment (who famously would not talk to press) is from the University of Missouri in 2015

A few points about the H5N1 outbreak that I'd like to share.

1. If we had a pan-influenza wastewater screen in place nationally that differentiates the influenza sources by sequencing (which isn't that hard to do), we probably would have detected this outbreak months ago.

Light and shade....tonight. Glastonbury Tor.

Thanks Mark Hamill 💜🙏🏾

today is the actual midpoint between the vernal equinox and summer solstice, marking astronomical Beltane, so if your mind feels like it’s a little off with the fairies today, be careful! the veil is thin, you don’t want to get lost
