I love you so so so much and she will always be part of you I’m so sorry for your loss
Yeah this trip has already put me into contact with 3/4 women that essentially run the conservation and ecology department and I’ve been getting contacts all week from our guest speakers/ecologists we’ve been talking to that more or less worship the ground my main prof works on lmao
One of my classmates is a PhD student an social scientist and she told me about a masters in passing and I just think that that’s something I should like, think about it
hey what do you guys hypothetically think about the study of the carbon sequestration of whales and their evolution and the evolution of the ecosystems they support during both life and death as a PhD proposal just kidding girl I’m not gonna do it aha-ha… unless… 🫣
Like I think I am cured actually
I am actually super unbothered after spending a week getting sunburnt and learning about ecosystems and rematriation
they don’t make scientists like this anymore
It’s insane to listen a generalized specialist like Brock Dolman talk about ecosystems if you were wondering
I went out to the hot tub and my classmates were hyping me up telling some rando that they’re trying to get me to get a PhD 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
I have a hard time accepting compliments about my academic/intellectual habits honestly like I’m just some shmuck that works at Starbucks 🧍🏻♂️
I am so overwhelmed with gratitude and this opportunity for face time with my professors is absolutely insane for networking 😵💫😵💫😵💫
one of my co-advisors told me to skip my masters and go for my PhD and that I have the mind of a natural scholar and a charisma and care for everyone around me that speaks to me needing to be a professor and she wants to do an introduction for me with a conservationist in the Chesapeake she knows
I’m so wiped out, but before I pass out let me say I am angry that the study of arboreal salamanders in coastal redwood forests doesn’t get more funding
my classmates keep telling me I make good points with well thought out ideas and that I should get my masters immediately after my BS 😵💫😵💫😵💫
okay Muir Woods today where we got to tour with one of its longest serving rangers that helped create massive improvements to the conservation of the park over 45 years
me: [gets blocked by scientist on here because i said that objectivity does not beget good science and u should be emotional about your work & think emotionally]
Every PhD and scientist I have met on this trip: you need to be emotional in conservation, you need to harness the connections you feel
Getting to talk to Gregg Castro who has spent his entire life fighting for acknowledgment of indigenous knowledge and beliefs about the injustices of western science against the peoples of California and his work dismantling the Eurocentric curriculum of California… pinch me
Day 2 and let me tell you that I’m beyond tired dog
I wish every Waymo a very die :>
following a drunk Turkish girl in this bar on IG, y’all need anything?
making all my classmates go to the bar 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Kicking your feet
Noooo I’m very much confined to the bay
capybara gaslighting herself pretending that everything is fine
My itinerary says Sebastopol and Mill Valley, but it could be anywhere
IBS I Be Slaying
me when it was 48 the other day
god good fucking morning San Franciscoooo
Heavily this lmao like anything you need should be in your one small personal item mama
@wigs4dogs.bsky.social is so wonderful and just a joy and we matched each other’s energy immediately I love friendship
