Status for October 20

What have I worked on?

  • islandBiogeo: seminar led by Schoener on the theory of island biogeography. I’m crashing it so I can hang out with community ecologists.

  • rangeLean: made a pretty plot. Read a bunch, and added important citations to introduction. Model is being pushed along by Robin.

  • reading: mainly for rangeLean

  • markingBeetles: preliminary experiments marking individual beetles. Difficult but possible.

  • nodeProperties: made pretty graph. passed to collaborators after triple-checking manuscript flow and updates to tables and figures.

Tonight

  • nodeProperties: quadruple-check the family names of important host taxa. I’m pretty sure they are correct, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

What should I be working on now?

  • RCN: slide prep and pushing projects along to good places. Pack for travel. Update laptop that you haven’t opened in like 3 months.

  • priorityEffects: work on analytical workflow, and start to sketch out manuscript introduction?

  • some other stuff that I’ll figure out tonight. Lots of projects are in collaborators hands, currently being run, or in some stage where I can’t push them forward.
