Cue the 2001 Space Odyssey theme! My Etsy Shop for Lawetlat’la tissue box covers is OPEN! Thanks for all the early interest! As a reminder this is a HOBBY for me so I’ll print more as I have time. Definitely look for a few new models this summer too!

Had a student send me their accommodations. I asked them if everything in 1st class had worked for them and if not how could I make it better? They just emailed and said it was the first time any professor in three years has asked them that, and that their mom wants to hug me.

Roads will be impassible. There is no cell service. There is no food. Please don't go unless you are a professional that HAS to be in the area. This will definitely be unprecedented. But don't strain the already limited resources out there by being in the area.

Check out the awesome pileus clouds over Chinese Camp as seen from Turlock a bit ago. #cawx

In my intro ES classes, I *always* use my own igneous rocks for ID practice. Now that we’re in person, I put each sample on a placemat with a pic of where it came from & QR codes to open a 360 street view of the area. Can’t interpret a *story* w/o context IMO.
