Tuttle Creek Lake gifted me an eerie Halloween Eve morning 🎃I'll just be over here clinging to these spooky vibes the rest of the year.

Being a good scientist and a good advisor are completely independent! Academia needs to REQUIRE mentorship training for faculty. Well-supported students and faculty are more likely to produce high quality science and have higher productivity. We need to do better and I'll happily die on this hill.
"...researchers who invest time in their students tend to lead more-productive, more-collaborative groups and attract stronger future students than those who do not." "Time spent with the next generation of scientists is an investment."

What makes PhD students happy? Good supervision
Supervisors who invest in positive mentoring relationships with their PhD candidates also reap the benefits for their own research.

We love sediment!! Took 11 weighted hand cores in 15-20 mph winds 😳 to compare sediment characteristics before and after reservoir restoration.

June 11 -27, 2026, I'm teaching a 16-day field course on stream ecology. It's heavily focused on independent research projects, so they get some exposure to field research. Open to students from any institution. DM with your email if you want a poster to send your students. #Ecology #PUI #insects

The perfect mental reset = morning hikes + afternoon coffee and writing surrounded by vibrant Aspens and crisp air. I also completed my third 14er in 7.5 hrs, Mt. Shavano @ 14,230 ft. My love for the Rockies run deep 🖤

I always have this book within reach when writing! You wouldn't think reading about writing would keep your attention, but this guide is beyond helpful and very clearly simplifies scientific writing. 10/10 recommend!
It's off my desk! I've just sent the manuscript for the 3rd edition of 'The Scientist's Guide to Writing' to the publisher (Princeton U. Press).

This is great to keep in mind! I also try to remember the objectives of the project and if my comments/edits are aligned with those or just me adding my personal preferences.
One thing I always try to do as a reviewer/editor when recommending a change is to think about whether or not the resulting improvement to the paper/software justifies the amount of time I think it will take the author to address it. The bigger the ask, the greater the need in order to justify it.
