Good morning

Chasing waterfalls and autumn views! Who else has stood on the Benson Bridge at Multnomah Falls and felt tiny compared to this natural wonder? Highly recommend visiting the Columbia River Gorge this time of year!

Just ... take the W people.

The more we credit these organizations for taking the baby steps opposing Trump, the more likely they are to do them.

And baby steps add up.

I’m currently chairing a search. Part of this is soliciting names of strong candidates from colleagues. I get many, but some of them I cannot contact—no webpage, not even an email on the “People” page of their postdoc advisor. I BEG of you: if you’re on the job market, BE FINDABLE!

It can be easy to forget how beautiful this world is, the diversity of people and lands.

Don't let them take that perspective away.

There are not enough hours in days like today to get around the places you know will look glorious, so we went for a jaunt in the Pentlands ridiculously overdressed - us that is - although the same description could be applied to the trees.

A conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven.

God says, “I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

“At last! Who shot JFK?”

God says, “Oswald, acting alone.”

Conspiracy theorist says, “Shit. This goes even higher than I thought…”
