20 years ago today I had the amazing fortune to get to spend a day diving in Alvin to the bottom of the ocean on the East Pacific Rise!
Still having a hard time believing (a) that actually happened to me! (b) it has been that long!
In the baby photo of me, I’m in the Alvin pilot’s usual spot. Behind me you can see that the outside sea temperature at that moment was 1.8 °C and we were 1559.4 meters deep.
Happy Mole Day, nerds! (Mole cookie made by one of our chemistry faculty) #science #chemistry #AMoleIsAChemistsBestFriend
OH BOY did we get a lucky peek through the clouds just at the right time!! #eclipse
Students asked if they could culture my belly button. Not only is that a hell yeah for #science, but also I was pretty tickled that they felt comfortable asking this at the end of the first week of classes!! #teachergoals #microbiology (probably lots of normal harmless Staphylococcus epidermidis)
Shooting star hydrangea. I wish this bugger would bloom earlier in the year like a normal hydrangea…) #bloomscrolling
When you get up to take your dishes to the kitchen and randomly pause The West Wing at exactly the right moment.
(Right there with ya, Donna.)
Note to self: DO NOT write “that’s what she said” on a student’s exam paper.
Ooof, not cool, Netflix. Not. Cool.
(Yes I still get discs in the mail don’t @ me)
I’m not sure that I’ve ever gotten a double yolk before! Let’s hope that it’s a good omen. 🤞🏽
Felix says that every day of the New Year should be Caturday!
Can’t disagree, buddy. 🎉
A little light reading for the holiday break.
(Who knew that one day I’d be excited to both purchase and read textbooks? I love being a nerd.)
Hopefully now I can feel a little less like a douche driving my Tesla (which I do really like).
