Teaching a 3/3 load is challenging while trying to conduct research, but teaching many different classes across a two-year rotation is the most challenging part. I've prepped nine different classes so far, none of which are seminar-style. One of those changed books and required a new partial prep!

A lady across the street has one that she grows in a container (it’s over 6 feet tall) and then she lets it go dormant in her garage over the winter. She recently asked if I wanted cuttings and I said yes. But with kids and a dog, I’m not so sure anymore!

Same. Initially, science Twitter was great, then of course we all know what’s happened after the sale. This space is so refreshing and reminds me of the “old days” on Twitter.
