Progress Notes

  • Today’s original goals was to get some reading and writing knocked out… that was not possible as I spent my entire day managing the logistics for the UW-RUA programming across the next 2 days.

    • I supported the facilitator (and attended) the Finding Your (Perfect) Postdoc seminar.

    • I attended Ariana’s job talk.

    • I wrapped up the day knocking out the last food item pickup and programming logistics for the full day of programming tomorrow.
