I wish I had more great content for you , but I’m sick and struggling to make it through the work day. I did get to a virtual classroom of 4th year students about how we do conservation science and I spent the afternoon in a grad student’s proposal defence helping her make her research as impactful as possible.

I taught my first in person class since Winter 2018. I wore my earrings made by my dear friend for luck. You’ll have to ask the how it went. I somehow had no difficulty filling the time and winging it when the Online learning platform had login issues 😒. But I was mainly keeping an eye on my . went from 500 at the start of the lecture to 800 by the end. Glad we’re the first class in there in the mornings!

More intrepid reporting from over the hill! There is a deep and definitive chill to middle age. Like my metabolism is stuck in neutral and can’t rev the engine to warm up. Kinda looking forward to these hot flashes I’ve heard about. At least there will be periods of warmth.

A big part of my advice to students on is that less is more.
Don’t open unnecessary cans of worms! Better to leave it out entirely than to gesture at it vaguely but not take the time to cover it thoroughly. And you simply can’t include EVERYTHING.
