Professor at Univ Washington, School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, I run models and synthesize data, and do research on the status of marine fisheries, human behavior, and anything related to blue whales. I love R graphics.

Some funders (govt especially) are so delayed in sending money that it really starts to become a major issue. Project meant to start 1 Feb each year, and here I am in mid-July and the money has not even been granted to the agency (multiple steps and months before I can use it to support students)

The most annoying thing about cookies on websites is not that they gather all my data... it's that every website now requires you to click on "accept/reject cookies" before you can view the website.

Switching to a new computer, realizing how much I customize Chrome (hundreds of saved bookmarks) and Word (hundreds of autocorrect shortcuts). Protip: you can save a ton of time by putting in shortcuts in autocorrect, e.g. ABW -> Antarctic blue whale Ha -> Hoplostethus atlanticus [in italics]
