Hi Seattle/Seatac/Port of Seattle/Airport shuttles! I need some advice, please! On Friday night between 9:00 - 9:30ish I was at Island 3a at SeaTac and one of my suitcases wandered off while I was trying to figure out how to get my kids home safely and legally after West Jet left a car seat in Calgary. In the suitcase was a t-shirt of my brother's who died in 2022. It is one of my only momentos. I am hoping a shuttle driver accidentally picked it up thinking it belonged to someone else and that it is sitting in some lost & found. The problem is I have no idea which shuttle it could be and don't know where to begin. I filed a report with SeaTac and haven't heard that it showed up. Any suggestions? Has something similar happened to anyone else? Where do I start?

The beauty of academia? Total freedom to pick which 7 days you work each week.

Had to take my 3 yr old son to the ER last week.
Fear was appendicitis but after 45 min of moaning he burped for 5 seconds & was fine🤦♂️so we asked to leave.
The bill? $4,179 😵💫 WHAT?!
I called the hospital billing dept. You won't believe how this ends.
Here's the breakdown:
$2,215 - "The visit"
$740 - 2 min visit with the doc
$1,224 - "Standard" nurse's swab of my son's throat & nostrils for covid/strep test
$0.07 - Tylenol (how generous)
I proceed to tell them (politely) that the same "tests" are $50 at a pharmacy down the road & they weren't even related to my son's symptoms. There must be a mistake.
Nope.
I tell her we're technically "cash pay" (we are members of a healthcare sharing org), and ask if there is a cash-pay discount.
She says, "Yes. Let me calculate it for you."
Cash pay price: $685 TOTAL
Of course, I'm relieved personally, but I can't help but think...
THIS is why millions are paying insane amounts in insurance premiums every month.
ERs/hospitals are out of control.
Can someone make this make sense?
Anyone in #Seattle looking for some sushi grade fish direct from the fisherman? Head over to Fisherman’s Terminal and look for FV Falcon!
They have tuna, sablefish, rockfish and sole! Support local and sustainable fishing!

13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻 – at Kechi, KS

In seeking my first industry role, I had no idea that jobs outside of academia have different *job titles* (since in academia, we were all vying for 1 role with 1 title...)
Let's show folks what jobs are land-able with a PhD. PhDs outside of academia: what's your job title?

I need to find another collaborator for my lake whitefish otolith micro chemistry work. Anyone out there have any leads on an ICP-MS lab that works with fish?

Wow! Scientists have observed a single-cell alga evolve in real time into a multicellular organism. The transition took around a year and was caused by the introduction of a predator into the environment. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

My radiation and chemo treatment has been cancelled. Devastated.
They cited backlogs and slowdowns and told me they have no idea now when it will start.
So I wait.

Today the @WhiteHouse announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by @SPARC_NA, @petersuber, @mbeisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upd…

Went to one of my first fisheries focused meetings (coming from a kelp forest and nearshore ecology background)...and I have never felt more marginalized as a woman. Qs & comments ignored, talked down to, & almost no women spoke except those that were facilitating. That sucked.

There's a great article in @hatchery_int about the research Dr. Michael Banks' lab is doing on Coho mate choice - @heatherlauld is also featured!

Today my medical school called campus police to escort me out of the building for sitting outside the president’s office to speak to him about the lack of student support. I was studying psych when they came. I wish I was making it up.

Why I will never submit to @PLOS @PLOSONE again, and encourage others to do the same: The #zoopsynth team submitted a data article last year. The reviewers were not told that it was a data article (despite clearly stating so in the cover letter) and we got a nasty review (1/n)
