This is a great opportunity for a three-year postdoc position in plant biology. Contact me if you are interested. We can do some really cool plant genetics/genomics.

Uneven font sizes, no mention of my name or anyone else's, and the invitation to click a link to find out about salary changes. ChatGPT says this is likely spam or phishing. Or maybe @UMNews HR is sending out salary adjustment announcements that smell exactly like phishing?
For transparency, we should insist retailers list the amount of new federal sales tax on each item. Ideally this would appear both on price listings and on receipts as the “Trump tariff“ charge. If Trump’s signature was on stimulus checks, he also deserves credit for new taxes!
Gmail accounts are ending abruptly for anyone leaving a university. Tracking down an alternative email for folks still involved in research can be a challenge. @UMNews could follow other universities in setting up a forwarding service. Minimal investment

How do instructors manage unexcused absences? What if the absence includes the first exam? I’ve always tried to be as accommodating as possible around excused absences, whatever the reason. Never had a great answer to “I’m going on a fun trip and want my exam rescheduled for ...”
