If you supervise someone, and ESPECIALLY if you supervise someone really good, take this opportunity to ask yourself, "Have I told them lately that they're really good, or pointed out something that they did really well?"
Maybe you do not need this reminder but I sure do, and I've had awesome people that I co-supervised express doubts that made clear that I had just *forgotten* to let them know they were awesome. (There's an understandable default to not worry about what's working well. But.)

I make a pistachio butter vinaigrette, with dried tarragon and green peppercorn, a little honey and dijon mustard, sherry vinegar, and olive oil. It's very good, but last night we had it on a salad with a lot of Belgian endive and HOLY SHIT IT RULED SO MUCH, the sweet tangy richness perfectly balanced the bitter crispness, I really can't recommend this highly enough.

People of Earth, I am imploring you.
Do not look at your phone while walking or driving.
I promise I am as internet-addicted as the next 21st century guy. I promise. But when you are in motion, controlling your own momentum, put your phone away and focus your attention on your surroundings. If you happen to know that the alert it has just made is an urgent message requiring your immediate attention, find a place out of the way of traffic to attend it.
Please.

There are things that are shitty about it, it's a job like any job, sometimes you don't wanna, and then there's now (!), but if you asked me when I was FIVE what I wanted to be when I grew up, that was the answer. I'm living the dream. It's a stress dream right now, yes, but it's the dream.

I totally get why people in an industry like having awards and pay attention to them—I'm always interested in the Nobels every year, and it's not like I'm up for one, I assure you—but it's mystifying to me that people who are not in the industry care.

The thing that makes me crazy about machine learning in science is that if I said in my Methods section, "I looked at all the data and decided which ones were affected" I'd be crucified in peer review, while if I said, "I trained a recurrent neural network for an unsupervised classification task" it'd be treated as cutting edge science, and the former is the latter with a bigger, better configured network.

I learned about a new *organ* recently!
Not actually new, of course, they've existed for millions of years, but newly known about by me. I've been both a biologist and an intellectual magpie for a LONG time so finding out about a whole human organ I didn't know existed is interesting to me. And it has some cool cell biology, so join me, if you'd like, on a little journey of discovery about …

The thing about this guy is that he has literally never had the experience of sitting down with a complicated idea or question and worked through it. He doesn't, on some deep level, believe that that's a thing. His fury with Fauci, with this woman, with the Fed chief, with anyone who reports inconvenient facts, is that he thinks they're bullshitting, because it's all he's ever done or known, and doesn't understand why they don't say the most convenient bullshit.

I want to share a fun tidbit about insects and metamorphosis. I'm a biologist and I think this is really cool, but I do also recognize that a lot of regular people would find this pretty gross, so I'm gonna put all the subsequent posts in this thread behind a content warning.
So, as a kid I learned about insect metamorphosis. You see a caterpillar and a cocoon or chrysalis and then a butterfly. (e.g.) And a butterfly's body sort of looks like a caterpillar, if you don't look too close. (…)

Love to grill asparagus and portobello caps (marinated in cheap balsamic, olive oil, salt/pepper/thyme/oregano). Zucchini spears with garlic/hot pepper oil. Quick polenta chilled, cut in squares, and brushed with oil. Grilled halloumi is always hugely popular. Chili-rubbed pineapple. If we're grilling anyway I'll put an eggplant, an onion, and some garlic on there and then later in the week make baba ganoush and sourdough flatbreads.

By which I mean that once something developed the idea of a head and a front end and back end, there was soon a belly and a back. And even VERY distantly related animals use the same genes and pathways to set up that belly-back axis. (…)

For me I like to divide each run into thirds in my head. For the first third, I set out at a relaxed, comfortable, natural pace and consciously pull back from that. Middle third you can just run and not think about pace at all, and last third you can push it if you're so motivated.

Go out slower than you think you should, then relax and don't worry about pace later.
Good shoes that feel good on your feet are weirdly important and not just a scam by Big Running Shoe.
1/2 marathon is long enough that you need to eat well before going out and what you need to eat will be a peculiarity of your body so experiment during training.
And the Secret to Running Long Distances: Start running and then, when you're tired and you want to stop, don't. Don't stop. Keep running.

My fellow dudes: If you are entering a conversation among women, especially one that is explicitly about women's issues, out of a genuine desire to be helpful by offering a male perspective, take a moment to consider that they are IMMERSED in male perspectives, they are force-fed them all day every day, they know, really, they know better than you do because they've heard it AND seen it from the outside, you can let this one go. I promise.

When I was writing a lot of live music reviews, it helped a little bit when I was seeing a band I hated that at least I could entertain myself by making up snarky things to say about them.
(That was never the point, obviously, I started writing reviews because there are so many bands I love that I wanted to tell people about, but still, there are a LOT of bands.)

Hello, it is our anniversary. Happy Our Anniversary!
Today Tom and I celebrate 19 years married and 34 together. He's very interesting and I love him very much.
Here's a picture of us from last summer, because I hate posing for pictures. (I'm the one who visibly hates posing for pictures.)
