Classes are small, tho. I teach an average of 3 students per course.

I teach at master's and doctoral programs from three different departments, all within the college of biology at my university. This makes up the bulk of my (a bit heavy) class load.

I teach those courses--there's stuff to improve, of course. I'd have to get back to you on credit requirements.

In one program I believe the scicomm course is an elective, but the program director strongly encourages students to take it.

Also, I'm halfway through a well written book that should be right up my alley
but it's just not happening for me. It takes me about half a page to fall asleep.

I am annoyed yet determined not to let it beat me.

Hope you can still catch Frankenstein in a theatre; the movie is so pretty.

It just opened here, but it's on a limited release.

I've been so busy! I think my last post here was about a month ago...

I've been reading and writing almost non-stop (PhD's going well, 12 weeks in!). I'm also teaching a ton of classes.

But please, whatsapp whenever 😊; I'll try to be better at keeping in touch, too.

Yesterday, Tyrannosaurus rex was formally named 120 years ago. In light of this, I'm reposting this!

Look at all the love and inspiration the big guy recieved for more than a century.

Cemitas are served with sweet chipotle peppers. I added all the chipotle to mine and now my esophagus is on fire.

I regret nothing.
