NEW YOUTUBE RELEASE TODAY from the virtual symposium, Nature's Front Line: The Role of Natural Areas in Climate Resilience in Central Appalachian Forests.

My wife and I are heading home after spending almost a week in Québec City #canada 🇨🇦. The culture, the terrain, the food... We loved it all! How do we come back to visit (or live 😉) ASAP?! #quebeccity

There's a kind of #ADHD task paralysis labeled "waiting on too many things"

Like, if the grantor who's running two full weeks behind could announce, maybe I could finish writing this paper

Even though they're totally unrelated 😅
