Status for February 24

What have I worked on?

  • logistics: so many of them… like, a crazy amount. Every object coming into the lab has be to unpacked and a detailed expense report filled out on it. Other paperwork is plentiful. Ongoing training, faculty lunches, and meetings.

  • swNetworks: data acquisition for this project with Jane and Jason. Required an IRB, which is a bit of a bear to complete.

  • sDiv: full proposal development. Pretty excited about the idea. Fingers crossed it gets funded.

  • professionalService: editorial duties

  • rangeNiche: pushed idea along some more, made a null, and looked at some scaling relationships. Need to sit down and decide on final figures and conceptual aspects.

  • outTheDoor: got a couple of projects submitted or re-submitted (rangeShape2, dispersalTrait). Need to get a couple more off my plate so I can focus more on current projects.

  • spectralSpread: out for friendly review.

Tonight

  • read: lots of great work has come out recently (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-020-0791-2, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.09.940494v1.full.pdf, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.13.947531v1.full.pdf, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.11.943811v1.full.pdf) I need to read it.

  • run: if it’s not raining.

What should I be working on now?

  • recruitment: grad recruitment this Friday-Saturday. Pretty excited.

  • sDiv: keep pushing this forward (specifically timeline and conceptual figure).

  • reproResearch: course design necessary. I will probably put this off, but probably shouldn’t.

  • helmNAR and helmBiogeog: finish up and submit.
