Like so many who were unable to celebrate important milestones during COVID, my Ph.D. graduation was canceled. This summer, while visiting Princeton, my husband surprised me with a hooding ceremony!

It was such a gift for some local friends, and my advisor, to honor me with this little ceremony 🎉👩🏽‍🎓

With 72% reporting this is looking really good for Mamdani!

Looking forward to @robertpjones.bsky.social joining us this week!

Imagine converting to Catholicism and a little over 5 years later the vicar of Christ has called you out publicly in a letter to the U.S. Bishops!!!

Glad to be in a small community standing in solidarity right now.

New mural on a downtown business window and sign at the local grocery store’s community bulletin board. 💕

Should I be embarrassed or proud of this report from daycare?! 😬

I’m grateful beyond words for those who care for all our little ones.

The hardest edit I’m making today before sending this off for peer review…changing this from VP candidate to VP. 😭

Students at my University are advocating for a new mascot. Since the 2007 retirement of the racist mascot, UIUC has been without one. I still see the old mascot pop up and I think actually having a new one will help, especially since we still use the phrase “fighting Illini”

In Chicago today for this great conference! 🤓

how many burner phones does this man have? I swear I’ve blocked his texts at least a dozen times!

So fun to get a pal’s new book in the mail! 📚 🎉

How will the kids even know that this means to “save” their PDF edits!!!

Me liking every solar eclipse post!
