Really happy with how this bowl from my somewhat neglected hobby turned out. #moremudlessplastic
When Gen Alpha folds the laundry they request a “bonus” … seems reasonable?
Lightening bugs (aka fireflies) spotted tonight in Rock Creek Park ✨ #waitforit
Don’t forget to submit your comment by COB tomorrow 🧬 🧪 🐟 🔬 💪 www.faeb.org has a great template. @pnwmicroplastics.bsky.social
Watching sportsball today, have no idea what is going on but the sweet potato fries are good ⚽️
Made a mug that captures how I have felt since January 2025. Drinking coffee out of this is therapeutic ☕️
So much fun has been had at the Gordon Research Conference on environmental endocrine disruptors this week!
My daughter showed me how to crochet this week, made a “mug” ☕️
Fun to see my science peeps in Oregon this week! @pnwmicroplastics.bsky.social
My daughter crocheted an otter holding an urchin, and it’s the best thing ever 🦦
Oregon has been a lovely place to live for the past 8+ yrs, but I’m excited to now be closer to water that is warmer than 55 F in late June 🏊♀️
Oscar, our 17 yr old polydactyl cat who has been with me since grad school, passed away last night 😞 He had 7 toes on each front paw and was a wonderful companion for many years. We’ll miss you Oscar 🐈⬛
In Wallowa OR giant bucks apparently like to graze in your front yard.
Spending some time in the Wallowa mtns this week before the big move to the East coast.
Found the Pew rooftop today, it’s lovely up here and the best news is that you can’t see the wrestling cage on the WH front lawn from here.
In today’s episode of Susanne figures out DC again, I learned that if you take an Uber to the NIH campus, security will frisk your driver and search the car before letting you through the gate 👀 Opted for the shuttle on the way back! 🙃
Do I need another book? No. Did I buy one at the airport about a woman befriending an octopus? Yes.
Fun travels for work this week to California, got to present and think on tire wear, and microfibers too, via sailboat ⛵️ @pnwmicroplastics.bsky.social
