I made a thing! Which historic LGBT+ scientist are you? Take the quiz @ bit.ly/gayscientists to find out! Bonus points if you can share your results and tweet #gayscientists so I can see if people are reading the stuff I wrote about 8 fascinating scientists!

Went to check my wildflower meadow yesterday after the wonderful @sci_room talk (Really have to go more often, had somehow forgotten just how fun it was and what a kind community it is!) in West Wood, less butterflies than I'd hoped, but omg the ants!

"To what extent can we control the whole body system by this small creation called the mind? I will probably never know. I try to be okay with the infinite number of things that I will never know & with the fact that I’m probably wrong about most of the things that I do know."

Great quote from @tomscott: "There are plenty of times that "it just feels wrong" can be a good reason to avoid something. But air travel, something so far outside everyday experience where safety is so important, that can't be governed by whether something feels right."
