In today's world, I cherish mistakes and awkward grammar in emails. They have become a sign that this person is real and didn't have an AI bot spam 10000 professors, or that they actually did read our paper about X, rather than lying about it. It's so hard to tell now. Strange world.

New paper out today! A beautifully simple experiment led by awesome undergrad Emma Gruntz showing how a single heatwave event can have long-lasting effects on population dynamics, caused first by reduced fecundity and then by increased mortality. @royalsocietypublishing.org doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

I teach our biostats course. I love it. Students are always so worried about math and coding when the class starts and I love seeing their confidence grow by the end of class.
