Eight days rafting through the Grand Canyon, sleeping under the stars, and being boggled by nature Leaving Lee's FerryThis is not a stock photo. I took this photo. With my crappy phone. Utterly incredible. As I will one day get around to blogging about, the spring of 2019 was a difficult, intense, exhausting several months. … Continue reading Rafting the Grand Canyon: Q&A
(And #IsolationMitigation more generally) We seem to have found some times that work! The times below have worked for the past ~2 weeks, we'll stick with them for the foreseeable future. If we have to skip a day, we'll post on Instagram and Twitter. See you sometime this week! Coffee Breaks Tuesdays: 12-12:30 pm Cental … Continue reading Quarantine Coffee Breaks
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).

Week 3 of working from home and hanging out with people virtually! How are we doing? Everybody settling into their routine, or still struggling to make it all work? Personally, I found last week easier than the previous week and I'm hoping that trend continues. Though I'm mildly concerned I'll get too used to being … Continue reading Coffee Break Schedule: Week 3!

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

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
