Guess who stole Chewie's medal? by AJ Vargas

Mochi wants YOU to know that he is ready for his breakfast NOW!

Black and white cat with yellow eyes is facing camera with mouth wide open in mid-meow. His tail is held high. He is standing on a kitchen counter near a cat food bowl.

#CROCOLOCOEVO grant hasn't started yet but we are getting some imaging data collected in advance. 4 frozen, headless donated False Gharials (Tomistoma schlegelii) CT scanning first.

Well stated.

Hunter Biden's lengthy X post reminiscing on how politics used to be less partisan and so did Lindsay Graham, and this means there is still hope for America to become a better incarnation.

An early, excellent horror film with Sam Neill that's on Prime Video, and I recommend, "Possession".

Image from the movie: Sam Neill (youthful; age 34), background blurred but in a city. Sam is looking to the left out of frame, a frightened or anxious look on his face, looking braced for action.

Joan Jett. Still kicking ass after >45 years! What a show. I got emotional realizing just how much her music has meant to me for most of my life. She's one of the great-greats.

Joan Jett on stage before a microphone, mid-singing, strumming guitar. She wears her trademark black leather, and sunglasses. The drummer of the Blackhearts is visible in the background.

Celebrating 45 rocking years with #JoanJett and the Blackhearts! I am so excited. 10 year old me wouldn't believe this is happening. 🎆

And in case you're wondering, the complete and anatomically accurate answer.

I didn't sleep much but am still hyper from that Duran Duran show. What a pair of opening acts! Nile Rodgers and Chic burned up the stage with a history of hits, then The Scissor Sisters, wow, I didn't know they were that good live. Phenomenal energy. They kicked ass. Tough acts to follow.

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 5

Careful. Duran Duran is hungry!

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 5

Nile Rodgers and Chic absolutely killing it!

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 5

Every concert should have a professional Carnival dancer troupe performance as a warmup. This crew rocked!

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 5

Gorgeous day in Hyde Park, a bit hot but we're psyched to see Duran Duran later!

Cuddlefest turned into lickfest then wrasslefest. As usual they're so adorable.

How my evening is going #Caturday

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 4

The goods.

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 3

Watching "3 Body Problem" (Netflix) series. I like it. Not sure how to describe it, but it's sci-fi set in modern day and revolutionary China and virtual reality worlds, with dehydrated people-husks and using the sun as a signal-mirror and maybe aliens? Great cast and effects. Cool.

That rhino's (Arthur) stylish waist belt holds a GPS unit so we could measure its speed in the field. We're also using other new footage we got more recently, plus any videos we could find on YouTube, documentaries, or the classic John Wayne film "Hatari!"

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jul 3

Trains from home to London are totally screwed up, so I am making lemons into lemonade by starting writing a "new" paper! Completing our survey of locomotor kinematics in giant land mammals with a survey of available data from the five species of rhinos! Some old, precious data dating back to 2005.

Michael Moriarty's method acting madness saves the ridiculous, campy, laughably bad horror 1985 film "The Stuff" (Prime), about a bizarre marshmallow-fluff-like organism marketed as food. Moriarty is very tall. The movie is very goofy. I... might love it.

#Caturday- Hermes in a favourite position by my laptop.

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jun 26

Loverboys even when they wrassle.

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jun 26

Paco and Hermes are such loverboys. (Watch to the end for full cute power)

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson· Jun 26

Ok, that's much better than some of the potential outcomes. From britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

I learned a lot from mistakes (some dumb) and successes in managing the DAWNDINOS grant (and prior ones). This one has plenty of similarities but I'll run it differently. We'll hit the ground running.

I am thrilled that my dream project was funded by the #ERC @erc.europa.eu as a 5 year Advanced Grant! Final amount somewhere over €2M. I'll be advertising 2 postdocs (1 more empirical; one more theoretical), technician and research administrator in due time. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...
