We Put A Bookmark in A Chapter

This week, I put a bookmark, or perhaps a dog ear, in a small chapter of my post-doc. Today was the last meeting of a committee I joined to further career development and education opportunities for the members of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation. Most of our committees are 2-year commitments but I joined at an unconventional time because of the timing of my postdoctoral position. We've made such important progress toward the development of longstanding initiatives, including the mentorship program I'm spearheading, to support the members.

This bookmark is only temporary, as we new iterations of the committees will begin shortly after our November conference, so the goodbyes we said during our meeting today were merely, "see-you-laters." However, the timing of this bookmark also means that we are only two weeks away from leaving for the conference.

A short blog this week, but I know that next week I will be writing about some of the complexities of creating ecosystem models. If you are interested in how we determine suitable conditions for our 200+ organisms in the ecosystem model, then stay tuned! And as always, you can connect with me using the Contact Me page, which sends an email, or you can leave comments, which are visible to all visitors.
