Twitter is now owned by Elon Musk 🤮, which means this will be my last post here. His plans to reduce limitations and penalties for bullying and hate speech means this platform is no longer safe for me. If you want to stay connected, please come catch me in on insta: DrRaeO ❤️🐝
We are here at @sacnas #NDiSTEM2022 in Puerto Rico to talk to you about graduate and career opportunities in @wsucahnrs and @WSUEntomology! We can't wait to meet you! #2022NDiSTEM

"You don't have to get it, but you have to get it right." I absolutely love this statement by one of my colleagues in the first @wsucahnrs DEI committee meeting today. I am honored to be part of such an amazing group and I can't wait to get started on the work! #DEI

Here is a radical idea: How about requiring senior faculty to express their commitments & contributions to DEI before asking junior faculty and applicants to write DEI statements that many aren’t even qualified to evaluate because they have never done the work I said it 🙊

When life gives you an abundance of plums, make an unreasonable amount of plum wine. #plumwine #homewinemaker #lifeonthepalouse
Two white buckets sit on a tan counter, each with a clear hose running out of the top into a single large glass bottle which is mostly filled with dark pink liquid.

Wow the @remarkablepaper 2 might be my new favorite device. I am terrible about reading papers because I can't bring myself to print but reading on a screen causes headaches and eye strain. Remarkable solved both these problems and I've been reading a bunch! #AcademicChatter
