I spent the last 4 days at a conference. Work, yes, but in a beautiful coastal town in country Victoria, Australia. Did manage to fit in a little beach time! Back to work today AND… it was tough.

Dozing in the snow
I have been home now for just over 2 weeks. The trip was AMAZING, even the work part was really interesting and relevant to my own research. I captured this shot of Doza on the last day, looking out from our balcony. He didn’t mind the snow, but preferred to be snuggled up near the furnace š
Snow bunnies (and sloths)
I am in Colorado for a conference now – at a ski resort up in the mountains. It’s so beautiful! It’s nearing the end of their ski season but there’s still a ton of snow around and plenty of people out enjoying it. I haven’t seen snow since I was 5 years old, so it’s a bit of a novelty to me. Whilst I am not going to go skiing (it’s a conference, I have to work, so a day’s lift ticket is kinda wasted, plus I’m overseas and haven’t skiied before and don’t want to break a leg) I am definitely still enjoying this “winter wonderland”. Today on our afternoon break I went for a trail walk in the woods. It was so lovely, hearing my boots crunch on the ground, watching a squirrel, being alone with my thoughts in a really beautiful place. Although I did sink in up to my knees when I stepped off the path to try and grab a picture of a stream of meltwater. Oh well. I also made a snow sloth. But it was cold so it’s only small.
Oh yeah, and the conference is good too, some great talks blah blah blah.

Back to Work
Back to work after Christmas and New Years off. Bit like this. Meh.Ā 
Good things a-happenin’

My face when I look at my full calendar this week
Yep, it’s pretty busy right now. #newjobfeels
First day jitters
I started my new job today!
It was a little daunting, but it went fine. Everything’s just so… different. Not bad or anything, just a lot of things to remember and learn and think about. Used to doing things a certain way and now it’s all up in the air! I guess you get pretty comfortable after almost 6 years in one place.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to this next “adventure” in my life and my career!
3 day week FTW
Long days, big experiments, important discoveries
Today was a big day. I just set up the (potentially) third to last experiment of my PhD, and the last long-term experiment. Exciting!
Science is a jerk
CuzĀ science is a jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk
And nothing ever works, works, works, works, works…
