Status for October 5

What have I worked on?

rangeLean: worked on prettying up plots. The exciting code ran last night, but took forever and needs to be run again because of dumb bug. That will be tonight’s activity.
beetleTeam: met with undergrads to discuss lab stuff, data validation, telling Excel to speak cells, new hires, priorityEffects experimental maintenance, etc.
guestLecturePrep: prepped for lecture. Took silly good notes, and have worked examples to fall back on. eigenvalues smeigenvalues.
rangeShape: checked on data request only to see it hadn’t actually been submitted. Not TRY’s fault for delay in data access. All my own. Submitted request.
library: Vellend’s The Theory of Ecological Communities is on hold for me. Stoked to dive into that.

Went to bar trivia instead of working on nodeProperties and macroHelminth last night (work-life balance win?). Will push along nodeProperties discussion section this evening.

guestLecture: Finding real-valued solutions to second order equations when your eigenvalues contain imaginary parts.
rangeLean: if I get the models running early enough, they’ll be done by tomorrow morning, and I can start pushing along plotting code, results, and discussion.
