Plan of the Week: March 16 - 22, 2026

  • I am feeling marginally better, and since I didn’t map the week on Sunday, the plan today is to keep it low key so I don’t put myself back at square one.
  • Monday: Map the week, catch up on UW-RUA work, confirm my spring/ summer tide schedule, build base histone and chromatin knowledge notes.
  • Tuesday: UW-RUA work, no science.
  • Wednesday: Return to epigenetic mechanisms to outline new Chapter 3 for my proposal.
  • Thursday: Biomarker manuscript
  • Friday: Biomarker manuscript
  • Saturday: Return to Chapter 3 outline and start drafting options for the introduction and methods.
  • Sunday: Continue Chapter 3 work.

Missing from the plan is the DNA Methylation work - it will be worked into the other priorities as time permits, or be a focus for spring break week next week.

  • Tuesday’s are UW-RUA days, no deep work done today.
