Progress Notes

  • Mondays are email/ task/ planning days
    • I took a look at my upcoming deliverables, knocked out comms, and started building a plan for the week. My primary focus is on getting my mussel manuscripts out for review and editing.
    • I also have a flurry of tasks for the last UW-RUA professional development programming event that takes place tomorrow.
  • I looked at what is on the agenda for tomorrow with Steven and started by knocking out my half of the GSAR. Not a morale booster, that’s for sure.
    • Turning to biomarkers - I added the notebook post with updated figures.
    • I spent time writing out specific tasks to update the writing.
    • Shifting to methylation, I took my handwritten notes and added a lose framing to both the results and discussion sections.
    • I added the progress for 2026-27 AY funding options.
    • Added the update on getting Cole into the lab.
  • I shifted over to knocking out UW-RUA tasks for tomorrow before meeting with Yen-Chu to discuss the PoE teaching positions at the end of the day.
