rebeccmeisterOne of my research students estimated that we would need to complete measurements on 6 ant colonies per day, to get through all of the colonies that need to be measured in the time we have available this summer. Yesterday we managed to get through 2.5 colonies, so that's a dose of reality for what we will manage to accomplish. I'm personally fine with that, I just hope it doesn't discourage this crew too much.
In any case, we'll be mixing things up next week with a trip to the City, plus over to see a couple colleagues in Newark.
Full-time research students is a LOT of people time for me. I don't feel like I can THINK when there are other people around. Yesterday I went from rowing practice, to work, to a rowing social event, then home again to Zoom with family, so that left very little time by myself. That sort of situation is okay in the short term, but eventually catches up with me.
S and I have a fun plan for today, and hopefully I'll even have time to blog about it shortly thereafter.
There is eternally too much to do.
