We know y'all have been waiting for this roster drop. But we wanted to make sure that we used this time to also speak our truth as a team and raise awareness for the rights that have been stripped away from us in this country.
ALT PGH Parcha Roster Graphic
ALT PGH Parcha believes in the human right to bodily autonomy and adamantly stands against the overruling of Roe v. Wade
ALT Our plan before this week was to use this Parcha possum apparel as a team WUCC fundraiser, however we have decided to donate 100% of the proceeds to the Western PA Fund for Choice, an organization working to support abortion access in PGH and our surrounding communities. Purchase through rimspike.com or donate directly through link in bio.

Last week, I was asked to comment on some new salamander research for a Science News article as an expert in the field... may not be a big deal, but moments like this make me think I might actually be a real scientist now!
Here is the article! My quote is tiny, but the research is awesome sciencenews.org/article/wand…

Email sent. Not me quitting academia and figuring out how to sew and sell leaf-shaped pillows for a living.
Applied to the only tenure-track Biology professorship available in MSP. The next-stage application materials require me signing a homophobic Religious Covenant. Dear school, FUCK YOU, I'd rather renounce my entire fucking career. Drafting a rage response now, taking suggestions.

D1 W: Annelise Peters is very good at throwing a frisbee. First it’s a 40 yard perfectly placed bladed forehand to Picone and then it’s a cross-field hammer that probably traveled a similar distance for the Pittsburgh goal. Pitt takes half 8-6 on WWU with Peters leading the way.

In 1953, Arthur Watkins, a Mormon senator, thought native peoples should become “white and delightsome.”🤦🏻♂️ So, he helped craft a policy called Termination. As we explore in our 3rd ep this season, it didn't end well:
