Finally vindicated in saving all my manuscript drafts in my GitHub repo! I wanted to look at an old version of a draft and I was able to go back through my commit history to find it. Thanks, GitHub!

#ADHD rant: Lately I’ve been breaking up my work days into 1-2 hour blocks to work on specific tasks tied to a to-do list. Each task is small, clearly defined, and time-boxed so it’s easier to make myself work on one thing at a time. Plus Adderall helps! (1/4)

Happy non-BEEnary day from me and this ginormous bee I accidentally catfished with my “Avant Garden” costume at Bass Coast this yeah. It’s been nice feeling real comfy in my non-binary gender lately 🥰 #NonBinaryPeoplesDay

I just wrapped up the last field season of my PhD! Feeling super grateful for 4 wonderful summers of data collection at @BamfieldMSC alongside some incredible people. Sad this part is my degree is over, but excited to dive into the next stage
One of the best parts of working with crabs is feeding each one of them their lil salmon chunk and watching them get SO EXCITED as unimaginable riches fall right into their claws
I am FINALLY going through my photos from year 3 of the @ReefLifeSurvey Bamfield Blitz hosted at @BamfieldMSC by @jasschuster and @AmandaEBates's lab! Stay tuned for many more photos of neat creatures

That feeling when your animals use their artificial habitat exactly as you envisioned 😍 It’s like building a bug hotel as a kid, but for adult scientists!!!
Updates: In April I became a PhD Candidate!!! I was also awarded an NSERC PGS-D on the same day, which was pretty wild. Now I’m back in the field trying to wrap up data collection for my PhD! 🎉

Discovering the ability to organize word docs using subheaders and a navigation pane right before my candidacy exam is life changing 🙌

Finding time to study for my upcoming candidacy exam has been tough! But I’m grateful for the opportunity/motivation to dive super deep into topics like nitrogen assimilation and understand the impact of pee on seaweed at a molecular level 🤓

If you submitted an abstract for PEEC it’s time to buy your eventbrite ticket! No ticket = no attending the conference. Link here: eventbrite.ca/d/canada--brit…
Presenters: if you haven’t heard from us, check your junk folder (especially UBC email accounts for some reason!). We have been sending out information and there will be more coming soon as the conference approaches.

Today’s wins: I put my last batch of crabs in the drying oven today, and I only walked part way to the bus in my office slippers before realizing my mistake! Hooray!
