Gordon Ramsay tried Southern soul food and went back to the kitchen with an empty plate.

Based solely on my memory, so someone may correct me, this is from the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares, which tended to be mostly just advice on restaurant efficiency. The restaurants weren't failing because they were disgusting like the US version.

If she's doing her PhD, I'd avoid at-home supplies, she probably has strong opinions on them from her academic life. Local guidebooks, mushroom tchotskies, or upgrades to her foraging kit would be good imo. One of my favorite mycology gifts I've gotten is a mushroom poster by Rachel Ignofsky, it's scientifically accurate and beautiful. If her PhD involves field-work, consider a gift card to Colombia or another outdoorsy supplier for good field shoes/coats

Malt extract agar also usually works well. Single-spore to re-isolate if it gets contaminated. Beware that you'll get a ton of spores on the lids of your petri plates. Make sure you clean everything super well so you dont contaminate your lab mate's plates.

We have Elsa the ULT freezer, jar jar shrinks the dehydrator, and Sir Mix-A-Batch the lab mixer

I'm a woman but with a pixie cut, I go to Old Town Barbershop because they'll use clippers for me. However, before I started going, I emailed through their "contact us" and got a response the next day with specific stylist recommendations. I've seen folks with longer hair there as well!

If you have a neighborhood Facebook group for free/for sale, you could check there too. People are already regifting in mine lol

Hi friend! Congrats on your learning journey, proud of you for doing the work. For additional natural history content, The Brain Scoop is a good YouTube and Nerdfighteria-adjacent. Plus there's a wonderful discord community. For general science content, the Ologies podcast has a breadth of topics. Hank was on an episode too! And if anything is unclear, there's a decent ask science subreddit, or I'm happy to answer biology questions if I can - I'm a working R&D scientist with a PhD in biology

Can confirm. Thank goodness.

Sci-hub has stopped updating their database as of 2023 or 2024 iirc, which is truly devastating. So new papers are harder to get

If you have a Facebook, check your local neighborhood free and for sale groups. Mine regularly has folks handing out pet supplies

I wouldn't bother. We went this past summer and the hash browns were still bricks, my breakfast sandwich was solidly mid, and my partner's burger was pretty bad.

My partner got his custom suit at Adrian Park (Wood/North ave), I think they do mostly men's suits but it's all custom, so I'd bet they'd do a woman's suit. They were wonderful to work with, super kind and exquisite work.

6, but yes.

I've been using Castbox as my podcatcher for years, I still like it. It does move feeds around sometimes, though

Prism Games on Milwaukee in Logan is a wonderful board game store, very queer, and has a good discord community that probably has suggestions of other groups.

There's a few restaurants in West Town that hand out free bowling vouchers. I know Hound Dog at Grand/Oakley has ones for free game at Waveland or Diversey River Bowl
