I wrote a little essay about what birding has done for me in the very short time since I became a birder.

Our Saturday owl prowl through Overton Park was a success! 🦉 We spotted THREE owls on a tree together! They had a short meeting and then flew off in different directions to hunt 🪶

My partner told me this is the cutest picture he’s ever taken. I asked about all the pics he’s taken of me and our dogs over the years…he thought about it for a bit and then said… “Yeah, I think it’s the raccoon”.

I thought the whole point of Target was the impulse purchase - which is unlikely to happen if the item is in a cage. Is this what Target means by: 'Secured shelves keep the items "on your list" in stock'? SMH

In my experience, the response to reviewers is also not really doable until you know where all the new data and discussion will land in the text. I can draft out portions of it, but it doesn't feel productive until I can include a real call out - See new figure X and discussion on page Y 😜

Working on manuscript text revisions before all revised figures are assembled - yes or no? I try to revise as new data come in, but I'm beginning to think this is not an efficient way to work. It's a headache when multiple parts of the paper are in flux and requires more cleanup on the back end 🧪

Every time I've used the French press, it has been a hot mess...literally. After much experimentation, I finally settled on the pour over method. But I am curious to see this Gilmore coffee tiktok. 😀

I sometimes imagine I have a bullhorn and whistle for queuing up lab members to work on 🧪 manuscripts:

📣Ansari et al #1 - UP! Ansari, Dillard et al #2 - ON DECK! Row et the GLI club - IN THE HOLE!
