It was a pleasure writing this piece for the Latino News Network. When I’m not working on science pieces, I’ll always love writing for communities, especially about issues as pressing and these.

sometimes science means fieldwork, and sometimes it means spending five hours pre-labeling bags so you aren’t miserable in said field

In case this is of use to anyone running trials or packing sack lunches, the Walmart brand brown bag packages routinely have 48 bags — not 50. Calculate accordingly!

learned that hiking pants are not the best if you want to avoid collecting hundreds of Illinois and pointed leaf tick trefoil seeds! picking them off at least makes for a relaxing afternoon in the sun :)

Great article from UW’s student newspaper about the critical harms that research funding cuts are causing
