Seeing Tech/Business folks lean into eugenics, phrenology, & other stupid ideas. It shows the lack of training they are getting in regards to genetics/evolution, stats, ethics, & history of science.
They have locked down a good # of craven assholes.

GRFP workshop today!
We typically have ~125-150 mentors meeting with 250-300 students during the workshop.
We also accommodate on-site drop-ins through an ad hoc speed matching of mentors and mentees.
Here is a video from 2024 that was toward the end of the workshop. We had over 400 mentors+mentees last year.

Rare to see a Barred Owl kill a Baltimore Oriole this morning. It was right next to the nest site that had 3 owlets.
A 1st for two ornithology professors and myself. This was a #STEMScholars #SACNAS chapter event for the warbler migration.
