Turns out that grant writing skills are useful for things other than research. I sure hope this isn’t the only grant that I get this year though! fortworthtexas.gov/news/2026…

If I seem a little distracted today, my RA got spooked by a giant clap of thunder and has now taken up residence in my lap.

I’m sorry if I was distracted during my last meeting. I couldn’t hear you over my research assistant’s snoring.

With the new school year starting, it’s definitely time to refresh my cheesy office snack supply. I found myself wholly unprepared today and want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Just in case you were worried that I fired my research assistant, she’s here and still as useful as always.

I’m going to need Teams and Webex to up their beauty filters to Zoom standards. My vanity can’t take it.

I had the privilege of being interviewed recently to talk about two subjects close to my heart: mental health and the profound connection between humans and animals. Even better? I wasn’t alone as I was joined by two very special co-hosts. youtu.be/sh7KKP54CWo
