And I’ll announce, in a more direct manner, I have completed my MSc in ecology! I get to start my PhD in microbiology in the fall. Exciting things in the works. 🥳
Just popping in to say I got the best surprise.
Bought Oathbound by @tracydeonn for my bday a few days after its release (March). Finally opening it after re(re)reading the first two books and SHE HAS SIGNED IT?! Did she sneak in my home…be honest?

Truth is, if you want society to be better for your child, you have to make society better for every child. Just focusing on yours alone won’t do them any good. It certainly won’t give them the type of society you want. All children are our children.
if you are doing things on an empty stomach or hungry to be more “productive” you’re training yourself to think of food as a reward. FOOD IS NOT A REWARD. food is food, and you need it. even if it makes you sleepy. it’s not some goal to work towards
COVID-19 cases are increasing and flu is still spreading in NYC.

ALT Text reads: Prevent Long COVID. The only way to prevent Long COVID is to avoid getting COVID-19. With every infection, there is a risk of developing Long COVID. Wear a well-fitting mask (such as an N 95, K N 95 or K F 94) that covers your nose and mouth, especially when indoors among crowds or where there is poor ventilation. Stay up to date with your vaccinations. For most people, this means getting just one updated COVID-19 vaccine dose this year. Stay home if you are feeling sick and wear a mask if you are unable to stay home. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Wash your hands often and use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

COVID, flu, measles, and all airborne viruses can seriously harm anyone, not just people who are immunocompromised. EVERYONE has a medical reason to wear a mask at any time and in any place.
