The #fediverse is my happy place. I post and boost #science, #animals, #photography, #poetry and #art. I may add a little about politics and the real world, but I want to keep my happy place happy and will use #ContentWarnings if possible. I’m one of many #WomenInSTEM who love #myco and #astronomy and #coding and #philosophy and #comics and #books and #MetalMusic I #bike, play #bassguitar, and care for my #dogsandcatsofmastodon models when not working. Ich lese Deutsch. Schreiben ist schwieriger. Manchmal werde ich es versuchen.

Look at these translucent wood ear mushrooms 🍄 glowing red in the sun 🔆. Found these in the woods last weekend.

the other day I found out something cool about arrhenia chlorocyanea
it only associates with the moss around it because that's what it's feeding on!
I love seeing these because they're pretty and look for them every spring

More beautiful things in housemate’s garden. I don’t know what species this is - I just asked him if he thought this one was edible and he said he didn’t think so but we should invite the mycological society out to poke around. #sporespondence #mushroom #mycology
@elviredecock can’t wait to see more!
@janinekrippner thank you! It is pretty wonderful.
Us Politics
If you are in the us, if you support our system of democracy … reject the Republican Party. They undermine our political system. The Republican Party has identified the weaknesses of the system and is trying to use them to attack the democratic system as a whole. They question the validity of our federally monitored systems and our state’s monitored systems, not because there is possible fraud but because their candidates didn’t win. They are wrong.
I’m in industry now. I miss seeing my name on publications. I don’t miss using ramen noodles as part of my budget.
There is something wrong with a system where the highest educated have a ramen noodle line in their budget. I don’t think it’s gotten better since I started receiving a salary.

@DrJLCatlett SO FLOOFY!
I’m not really a twitter migrator. I mean, I guess I’m kinda following the twitter migration? But I never was active on twitter. I liked Usenet, and irc. I’m looking for a place that suits my needs as twitter never did. Let’s see if @Mastodon can be what i’m looking for now.

I suppose I could do an #introduction
I've hopped a lot of fields. My BS is in Chem, my PhD is in Mol Bio & Biochem. I started out doing NMR in a more biophys sense, then moved to structural biology w/ x-ray crystallography, did some immunology along the way, and wound up studying genomics/transcription/chromatin in yeast
I now work as Director of Career Development and get to help grad students navigate grad school and choosing a career path, which I absolutely love
So...hi

@freemo @khird @trinsec @arteteco
Thanks! Will do! And thanks to the whole team.
I have always found when managing/coordinating/being part of teams that accomplishing an objective together feels much more rewarding and is a richer experience than if that goal had been reached alone.
Like the toots here people can boost each other ;)
So again, thanks to you and the rest of the team. You have a lot of reasons to feel good, from what I see here in qoto.org
@LauraMcKnight my undergrad was #computerscience my PhD was #biochemistry. My career is #pharmacology. Make your own way.
@fixcarbon I’ve been able to reduce back pain with an adjustable handlebar… but an upright bike is worth looking into! I miss skiing… where I live is too warm. I’ll look into one!
@geerue I can’t take credit! His foster mom gave it to him, and it fit so well I kept it.

I nearly stepped on this Northern Pacific Tree Frog this past week. Even bright green can be camouflage in the right environment. 🐸
One last post before I go on my bike ride, to introduce my wonderful blind kitteh Radar to #caturday he doesn’t need eyes to understand the purpose of a box!
#BikeTooter you have inspired me to get up and go out! Will take my #dogsofmastodon with me!
@fixcarbon it looks fun! Does it have advantages over a standard bike?
@mikechen that is amazing! I hadn’t seen that version.
