Yours in LadyGeoscience
Well, hello there! Welcome to my new office with its bright, natural light, an increasing number of plants, easy access to food, and a great view. Granted I thought moving into a new office would happen when I was being promoted, but... that promotion is still a ways off (#thanksdissertation). Instead this new scene is … Continue reading Work Life, Home Life
Thanks for joining me and helping ease the isolation today, friends! TinyChat was a bit of a wash, so we're trying something new. Apparently Zoom is useful for this sort of thing, and we don't have to download an app to use it. So we'll try that! Here are the links for coffee break times … Continue reading Quarantine Coffee Break: Update
Whether you're used to working from home or not, the corona virus quarantine is something none of us were truly prepared for. If you're like me, you might be starting to get a bit squirrelly without human interaction. Or without some new and different humans to interact with. So I've come up with a work … Continue reading Quarantine Coffee Break
As many of us prepare to work from home and to move in-person classes online, there's a lot to consider and think about (beyond whether or not 2 years worth of toilet paper will be enough). I came across this article this morning and recommend it for anyone facing course migration in the next week … Continue reading Teaching in the Time of the Corona Virus Pandemic

November is the cruelest month (and yes, I know that's callous). If you're involved in any realm of academia, this is a fact you already know. November is the month you constantly drop the ball because you're juggling so many items--at least one of them a chainsaw. Then suddenly it's December, when all the things … Continue reading To Tide You Over
Hello LadyGeos! At the end of last month, @geoarchandlush mentioned that she and I were working on a big project together. The news is twofold: February 11th is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This year, to honor the day, the Royal Academy of Science International Trust and the United Nations are … Continue reading #February11
Its Blogtober. Though I am late, I still intend to complete my weekly posts. Here is a day by day run down of week one: My colleague and I are directors of departments that have the word research in the title and so we do a lot of overlapping student advising and programming. We got … Continue reading Blogtober 2019: Week 1
If you were able to read my bio you know that I just recently defended my Master’s thesis and have left the student life to embrace the working adult life. It hasn’t been a *super* smooth transition, but it has definitely been a great learning experience. I’ve been a student for ~6 -7 years and … Continue reading From grad school to work- untold struggles
As @geoarchandlush noted in Aaaaand We're Back!, I recently relocated back to the Kansas City area. Like all cross country moves, there's a story (or, in this case, several stories). About a year ago, I started planning to leave my job as an environmental consultant. I had discussed career paths with my boss, shown him … Continue reading #NeverTrustTheCarrot
