hi pro designers!

Happy 2016.  I hope you had a great break. I wanted to share a tiny bit of info with you.  For better or worse, I did my first ever interview that got turned into a podcast. It is cheese I know, and you have certainly heard me enough!  However, I did try to focus on the challenges that I faced as scientist, promote diversity, and remind listeners that doing science is also a form of activism.  Give it a spin if you like – you can download as podcast or just click on the play button right on that page.

People Behind the Science Podcast

Note – I did not mention Star Wars but did see The Force Awakens twice already!  Also, you may get a request for a letter about my teaching in biology. I would love if you could do it and highlight the innovations we tried together (and not failed as Jedi).

hi designers,
Tomorrow night, ecology graduate students are doing 10min seminars each at 530pm in LSB105.  Pop by if you are interested in grad school and want to see the work they do.  Plus, you can score them, secretly, on how well they present. Your ta will be presenting too!

Could be an interesting one?
