Status for September 14

What did I work on today?

  • Met with Gary Mittelbach (enjoyable chat with a really bright guy)

  • Discussed parasiteExtinction project with Colin Carlson (exciting stuff!)

  • Competition paper accepted in Ecology. yay!

  • srsMetacom code is running. In the meantime, worked on structure of introduction and methods

  • parasiteR software note edits.

What should I be working on tomorrow?

  • Make sure figures and everything are perfect for Competition work

  • Push other globalHelminth projects along (consider pitching these data as a lab project)

  • Threshold host density work (frustrating, but there’s a solution I’m just missing)

Small logistics

  • Talk to Brian about cluster stuffs

  • Finalize rubric for lab exam

  • Subset globalHelminth and send along to work.


Keep in mind

  • Start thinking about defense date (sometime in February?)
