It was actually sunny today and my window cling made a lovely little patch of rainbows in my office. Hopefully a good sign on the first day of Winter Term. 😊

Been pretty quiet on here lately for lots of reasons but mostly b/c I was trying to disconnect during sabbatical.
But! Field studies are ramping up and I just got back from a lovely place with great colleagues from University of Montana. Yay for collaborative science!

Wrapping up a week of fieldwork at Curecanti National Recreation Area with colleagues from University of Montana. We’re trying to better understand the experience and movement of anglers on Blue Mesa Reservoir. Yay for collaborative science!

Since I am on sabbatical this term, I have been trying to work as little as possible on Fridays to give myself three day weekends most weeks. Today I used some of my free time to bake a “confetti cake” covered in multicolored stars! 💫

I am a recreation ecologist at Oregon State! I study outdoor recreation in protected areas and help managers figures out how to balance recreation use with conservation goals. I also teach classes on outdoor recreation management and planning. When not science-ing, I love knitting.

Today was my first official day of my academic sabbatical. Really looking forward to some focused time for reading, writing, and - of course - some knitting. 😊 Today I took a midday knitting and reading break outside in my garden where our roses are having a second bloom.

Bummed to have missed #ESA2023 when it was so close to home this year, but grateful to have been able to find time during a busy summer to visit my family in PA.

Tried to travel from Portland, OR to Portland, ME today (3 flights). Instead I took 1 flight, spent 8 hours in the SLC airport, and am now about to board a red-eye to Newark and will arrive in Portland, ME tomorrow at 11am. At least there were some good views on that 1 flight. 😆

There was also a farm cat, which decided to nap in this truck - where maybe it could get away from all the people. 😸

I carried my book for the @osuteaching book group up the Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park. That way I could read while I ate lunch at the footbridge. 😊 Here for work, so figured I’d have a “working lunch” as well.
