If you had told surly high school Rebecca that she would one day track 10,000 miles of running she would have just given you side eye and said whatever. (To be fair, that was high school Rebecca's response to pretty much everything.) Every journey begins with a step.

An important thing no one warned me about before my sabbatical was that my cat would find a new family whose zooms she can disrupt

Remembering @AmityGann on what would have been her 45th birthday. She taught me to never stop being furious about injustice and live every day with as much passion as I can muster. Honoring her memory by making today the best day I can.

Reviewers and Editors of scientific papers, how do you feel about point-by-point responses in table format? Personally, I hate this, but authors, including some of my collaborators, keep doing it. Are there people who like this format?

My response to all in person meetings from now until eternity. If you want me there bring your snacks A game.
To Whom It May Concern: I respectfully decline your invitation to attend a meeting as I have been told there will be no snacks

Dear Westinghouse, why does your heated sherpa throw automatically turn off after 3 hours and not after a more reasonable interval like 6 months?
