PhD in the Land of Enchantment: The Blues
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2012/02/blues.html
Sunday, February 12, 2012. If I was a song writer I would be putting out some seriously depressing stuff this month. Uncertainty. I think that's the biggest thing bothering me. Uncertainty with everything. While I like surprises, not knowing what the future holds is scary, especially when things aren't going the way you thought they would. February 13, 2012 at 11:00 PM. What are the primary areas of uncertainty that are contributing the most to your stress level? February 14, 2012 at 8:13 AM. Throughout ...

http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2014/04/megafauna-and-ecosystem-function.html
Wednesday, April 9, 2014. Megafauna and Ecosystem Function Conference in Oxford: My spring break and my first solo international travel, Part 1. It's been ages since I've updated my blog. There's a lot to catch up on, but today I'm just going to fill people in on my trip to St. John's College in Oxford a couple weeks ago for my first international conference. Mostly, this will be pictures for my mom to gawk at. Big Ben, London, UK. Double Decker Bus, London, UK. The River Thames, London, UK. Paying homag...

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: The "Uncle Rico"s of Graduate School: I Don't Care Where You Went to College
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-uncle-ricos-of-graduate-school-i.html
Saturday, July 27, 2013. The "Uncle Rico"s of Graduate School: I Don't Care Where You Went to College. Don't get me wrong. I went to a decent college, and I'm proud of what I feel culminated in an excellent education. My education was a means to an end. I consider my undergrad a piece of trivia of my life, and it only comes up if it is relevant to conversation or if someone explicitly asks, for the following reasons. Very Few People Care. Your parents or immediate family. If someone asks where you went t...

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: Forcing Myself to Write
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2011/03/forcing-myself-to-write.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. Forcing Myself to Write. This all started because I haven't been getting much of my own work done lately, and the things I have been getting done have been last minute and by the seat of my pants. I've set up boundaries, become less attached (emotionally) to teaching related things, and set aside time just for writing. It turns out I'm getting much more done. March 28, 2011 at 2:56 PM.

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: Photos
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/p/photos.html
The home for photos that didn't make it into a post. Last update 03/22/2010. Annie, the cat with the really bad haircut. Great Horned Owl sleeping in a nest. Closer shot through the scope. The Sweet Room at The Mauger Estate B&B. Petroglyphs from Petroglyph National Monument. Native American drawings of animals, people, and other shapes. Their meaning isn't completely known. A little lizard I observed, he wasn't too happy about it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). PhD in the Land of Enchantment. Nah I'm a pal...

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: Big Fish
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2010/03/big-fish.html
Friday, March 19, 2010. I went out to lunch today with a friend who already has her doctorate degree. We were kind of going back and forth about the stresses and adjustments people make during different phases in academia. One of the biggest adjustments is getting over your own ego. I'll explain. And then they go to graduate school, and this is generally the first place they get their mental asses kicked pretty severely. In graduate school, you come to the sudden realization that you are in an ocean and ...

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: It's been a rough semester
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2013/12/its-been-rough-semester.html
Friday, December 20, 2013. It's been a rough semester. Rather than spend an entire post complaining, again, about the difficulties I've been having at school I'll just give a quick update. Over winter break, write a first draft for a departmental grant, and get the modern museum data for my chapter 1 project. First two weeks of school, grant done for the department. End of January, have a first analysis completely done of the chapter 1 data. End of February, finished analysis of chapter 1. Nah I'm a pale...

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: May 2013
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 25, 2013. Hello friends, I'll be recounting the last couple of months from the comfort of my mother's couch in CT. Don't worry. I didn't drop out of graduate school, I'm just taking a short holiday now that the semester is officially over. I learned some important things during the process, unrelated to my actually dissertation. 1 If not given guidelines on the length to a written response to a question I will produce 12 pages, on average, not including references. Links to this post. Throu...

PhD in the Land of Enchantment: May 2015
http://phd-beginning2end.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Biological Rules: breaking them because I'm a rebel, or, a rant on why Bergmann's "Rule" makes me twitch. I love rules. That is to say, I hate them, which is why I love to break them. My favorite among these is something called Bergmann's Rule. The rule originally stated that species within a genera tend to exhibit an inverse relationship between body size and climatic temperature. Said anther way, big things are found in cold places, small things are found in hot places. It turns o...
