If anyone is interested, the link below goes to a PDF of the slide deck for the talk. If you have questions about breast cancer or want to learn about how to get involved in research in Duluth, let me know!
Happening this Thursday! If you are in Duluth and want to learn more about breast cancer, I will be giving a Community Education seminar at 6pm on Thursday, Sept. 25 in the Medical School building on the UMD campus. Free and open to the public, but advance registration is appreciated.
"Hey @ganzfaust.bsky.social, you got queer punk in my biomedical science!"

New swag from @dogparkdissidents.com in the lab today. This shirt was something else, now it is better!
A skunk walked up to our golden retrievers in the backyard early this morning. Thankfully it didn’t spray— Bosco got up close! #duluth #skunk

Never mind the hill, what really defines the pedestrian experience in Duluth is being barked at by yard dogs whose owners then yell, from inside the house, for them to shut up.
Tabling for University of Minnesota Duluth’s CommissionQT at Duluth / Superior Pride Festival at Bayfront Park. I love this city!

What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.
I was going to post about this, but @duluthone.bsky.social beat me to it. If you are interested in the science of breast cancer and will be in Duluth on Thursday, Sept. 25, come to the Medical School for a community education talk! It is free, but call 218-726-8851 to register and reserve a spot.
Thanks Brenna! I'm looking forward to a fun talk-- I hope I can hit the sweet spot between smart and wry :)

More urban wildlife in the backyard: This time a black bear stopped by for a visit. At the very end of the video at the right edge of the screen, he stands upright and takes down our bird feeder.

A fox went through the back yard last night. He was in a hurry and didn’t stay to visit. #fox #duluth

long shot, but, anyone know an LGBTQ+ insurance person at an independent agency in Minnesota? I do not like to rely on heterosexuals for professional services, I went to a Jimmy Buffett concert once, I know how they are

When people defend this by saying "it was a different time," I suspect they do not consider the opinions and experiences of those who faced discrimination at that time to be valid.
Ripley strutting again; this time on the Gitchi Gummi Trail in Tofte, MN.
