At work two hours later. |
So, the ecology side of this blog has been neglected in recent months. Trust me, it's not for a lack of actually working on ecological restoration and research, because
the group with which I work, is going hard right now.
I plan to do an overhaul to this site and add some content, including links to data, code and other goodies that I've archived with papers that are currently in review/revision. But before I have time to get to that, I figured I'd drop a few pictures of what January and now the first third of February have looked like. In short - abstract submissions, short course proposals, grant proposals, dissertation proposals, a partner moving for a real job, multivariate statistics, revisions, conference committees, more conference committees, paper submissions and revisions - have been lined up and have been/are being knocked down. Oh, and I ski sometimes. And always embrace the grind.
