This will enable Brittany to work with and advise LPL graduate students as they pursue their degrees. https://lpl.arizona.edu/faculty/joint-appointments03 Nov 2026 02:58 +0000at://did:plc:jkp72de2wday5az5chl6dawk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzetrbfjd22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/markmarley.bsky.social/post/3mysi74n7qs2nI clicked on the Apple free trial button for the studio version of Keynote and discovered the file is incompatible with the DPS system and there is no way to deprecate it. Fortunately export to PPT worked well enough. But watch out for this.26 Oct 2026 19:43 +0000at://did:plc:jkp72de2wday5az5chl6dawk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mysi74n7qs2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/markmarley.bsky.social/post/3myq3jthf4c2nIs this sign really necessary?

This composite is probably my favorite mission image as it captures so many of the processes I study and will talk about.24 Oct 2026 19:00 +0000at://did:plc:jkp72de2wday5az5chl6dawk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mynevkgu7c2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/markmarley.bsky.social/post/3my6mwnjb4s2gFour bobcats hanging out here which is kind of rare. Usually this is a mom, two kits, and last year's daughter. Truly wild bobcats apparently don't do this but it seems to be a signature of suburban groups.18 Oct 2026 22:14 +0000at://did:plc:jkp72de2wday5az5chl6dawk/app.bsky.feed.post/3my6mwnjb4s2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/markmarley.bsky.social/post/3mxra776jzs27Neptune core is probably fuzzy so a big ice cream scoop would have been better.
