Granular level task list to accomplish the high- level goal outlined above

Projects Touched Today
- Mussel Methylation
Progress Notes
- In my best procrastination effort, I knocked out a weekly wrap-up post about National DNA Day.
- Truly though, I was struggling to get the writing on a roll, so I switched the goal for an hour and knocked it out.
- Then I returned to working on my own projects.
- I picked 5 papers from the methylation work and read through them, and took notes on how they can be applied to the mussel methylation work.
- Notably, what is being seen, what is not, and do the DMLs identified in the mussel work fall into these explanations or some combination of these (more likely).
- That was the extent of today - too many errands and too much sunshine not to take a break.
