Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today…
As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

Proud advisor moment 🥹
My two advisees are going to grad school!
@DennyMondragon was accepted for a PhD with me @osuearthscience, with a university fellowship!
And Sofia Vakhutinsky will start a MS @UWAtmosSci, continuing a legacy of success through #AGUBridgeProgram!
We're still accepting applications for this position!
Please share broadly with your networks and reach out with any questions :)

Ohio State student protesters are being arrested for “criminal trespassing” on our South Oval, a public outdoor space we use every day for gathering, studying, playing, and relaxing.

It takes more time, but I mark-up all HWs/exams, quickly review the marking for consistency, then go through and assign grades once I get a feel for how the class did on each question.
Helps me get rid of fatigue bias in grading.
Curious what others do!

Jane Willenbring was the first to blow the whistle on sexual harassment and assault in Antarctica. Years later, women are still coming forward with tales of horror as a government investigation unfolds. wired.trib.al/cxF00iG

Dr. Diana Wall, famed ecologist and Tyler Prize recipient, began working in the Dry Valleys in the late 1980s and was a co-PI of the project from 1993 to 2016. She touched the lives of many generations of students, postdocs, and scientists in MCM LTER. She is sorely missed.
Diana Wall was a groundbreaking researcher, and a unwavering champion for soil biodiversity and the people who study it, globally. She will be sorely missed by many here at ESA Soil Ecology and beyond. source.colostate.edu/diana-w…
