I turned my research into a #researchcake this weekend! A chocolate rice Krispy nunatak emerging from a vanilla caramel cake is being hit by caramelized hazelnut neutrons creating in situ 14C.

WFH doesn't mean the EAPS grads aren't going to take their weekly coffee break, even featuring a virtual puzzle. It's great to catch up with other grads, fiddle with Zoom backgrounds, and sip on an iced coffee!

#Antarctica was truly discovered 200 years ago! It continues to inspire and model that we can find solutions to the biggest problems. 200 years of exploring Antarctica – the world's coldest, most forbidding and most peaceful continent theconversation.com/200-year… via @ConversationUS

After bringing up this issue to the dept, who passed it on, a resolution will be taken to the whole faculty senate for discussion, and hopeful passage, to require all Purdue forms to include a non-binary option for gender (including the grad school application)! Steps forward!🌈

A month ago I started an application for grad school at Purdue (where I'm about to be a professor...ah!) just to see what it was the app was like from the perspective of a prospective student. Form asked for gender... and only gave binary options...😣 BUT, I just heard good news!
