My talk abstract was accepted for ESEB 2017! Yay! Get ready for some superb fairy-wrens bizarreness :]
What have I been up to over the past few weeks?
-
The main focus of the past few weeks was on the content of the first PhD manuscript/chapter. This involved a bit of back and forward between myself and my supervisors, discussing and tweaking the models and deciding on what will be in the main body of the manuscript and what should go into the supplementary. I think we are almost there now! The figures are proving a bit trickier to make than anticipated, but hopefully I can figure things out soon.
- I started demonstrating on the Behavioural Ecology. So far I’ve done sessions on stats, understanding analysis output and writing it up, as well as scientific paper discussion and presentation.
- I’m keeping up reading papers #SFWpapers and #230papers - although I am behind the mark to be perfectly honest!
- I’m tweeting about fairy-wrens under #SFWtidbit. I now figured out how to schedule tweets so I will sit down and sort out the next few weeks to make sure there is a steady supply of tidbits :]
I’ve done tons of work and I think I’m making progress, even if it is slow and feels like pulling teeth at times. But the past month and a half have been really tough - vicious circle of not sleeping, stress and escalating chronic pain levels made life difficult.
