Had a great day as advisor to burgeoning scientists. Attended an excellent dissertation defense on bioinformatics of bacteriophage ecology, watched my grad student present a seminar on modeling the cultural evolution of inequality, corresponded with a German physics PhD student who will be visiting my lab in the spring, and hosted a predoctoral student i am mentoring who zoomed into our lab meeting from NYC to talk to us about the dynamics of couple contagions on networks. I like this job.
