Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations

Prospectives! I can potentially welcome a doctoral student who shares passion for fish evolution, systematics, and biodiversity to my new lab at Tulane in Fall 2025. Pre-applications due to me by October 31. Email [email protected] or DM me for more details.

There was a moment in the 1960s where we had a choice between glass and plastics as a container of choice.
The glass industry tried to do much to present the issues.
There was no long term impact to Earth or health from glass.
It was a local recycling loop and it worked.

At 11 month old my son gave his first scientific poster at an international conference! Other babies watch out! :p starting him young on that #mimuluspropaganda #evolution #mimulus #monkeyflowers

I have a confession to make. Whenever I walk into the departmental office and see a family waiting in the entryway, I always stop, introduce myself, and talk to them.
I figure they've probably driven quite a distance to visit UT Austin, perhaps to check out the campus or attend a PhD defense. I think about how much it would mean to me if a random professor stopped by to make us feel welcome with a cheerful, "Welcome to the 40 Acres!" or, "Who wants to be an engineer?".
Being a #professor is more than just a job; it's a role of service to society. It's about making connections, inspiring future engineers, and ensuring everyone feels welcome in our community. I did that this morning and it made my day!

It has been widely believed that a key function of sleep is to actively clear metabolites and toxins from the brain. A study in @NatureNeuro shows in mice that brain clearance is markedly reduced—not increased—during sleep and anesthesia. go.nature.com/4bKkXYb
