Lol. Well, that seems like my impetus for catching up with you more frequently! We're getting ready for our move at the end of the month, but I'm teaching a Colorado Flora & Fauna field course right before we leave. Going to be a very fun and very stressful month!

Shan!!! Congratulations to you! This news is so wonderful to hear.

Really, absurdly disappointing. I'm teaching a field course focused on environmental threats to Colorado's biodiversity next month and will have students contribute to citizen science projects as impactful coursework. We'll have some lively discussion about this news, I'm sure. Yikes.

Thanks Sean! Once I'm back in Ohio and that much closer to Chicago, you should expect a visit from me to the Field Museum. Family and or student collaborators in tow!

Congratulations!!! I am so stoked for you!

This exchange happened to me in my prelim defense too, and I had to write the calculations for both after surviving the first long pause!

Congrats! What class will you teaching? I'm in total solidarity with you about the registration bedlam.
