Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

They’re on their way! I have a friend with a cabin between Binghamton and Scranton who has pictures of the mountain lion in her front yard….

The same nuts who feed deer in their backyards will now be buying giant kitty-litter boxes to help the poor mountain lions adjust to suburban life.

Just got in from walking the dog, tp; as we headed up the backyard hill, the deer that sleep there staggered awake. I mean, we woke them up. They seemed annoyed.

There’s some pun in here about tenure tracking, wayward, but I’m not completely on top of it yet.

That mountain lion is memorialized. The Berkeley legend lives!
