March Research Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

Translation quota, plus I'd like some small special issue progress.

Translated five pages instead of two, wrote a couple hundred, refereed an R&R.

[Parasaurolophus]

More of the same: two pages of translation, a few hundred words of the special issue piece.

Drafted an abstract for a CFP due next week.

Just about managed it, though I'd have liked to do more. More of exactly the same today.

Five pages of translation, 500 words of writing. Acceptable.

March Goals

• Continue data analysis from sabbatical project, prepare conference presentation for end of March
• Finalize library repository
• Get started on writing book now that contract has been signed!!!
• Complete conference proposal and manuscript reviews due in March

I finished the manuscript review last Thursday as well. There were a lot of reviews that day! I just wrote a pleading email to the IT person to help me so I can finish this repository development but I was very temped to write their supervisor. I am trying to encourage them to help me so I will never bother them again, but that does not appear to work. I need to put my conference presentation for next week together still, oops. I do not anticipate starting on the new book yet because I need to get this other project finished first.

I might skip the translating today, and just focus on writing for the special issue. I want to be further along with that in the near future. So, today, aiming for another 500 or so words.

March priorities:

• Make progress on book proposal and draft
• Prepare and submit IRB
• Work on proposal for short book project with colleague
• Revise paper #1 and, if possible, resubmit to journal (with colleague, R&R)
• Revise paper #2 and, if possible, submit to new journal (with colleagues, recently rejected)

Backburner projects:

• Paper #3 with colleague (getting this off to a journal will be a priority in April)
• Paper #4 with colleague (submitted to conference)
• Paper #5 with colleagues (ball in colleagues' courts for now)

Managed about 1000. I'll now translate until the hatchling awakes.

[Parasaurolophus]

Time is bound to be short today, so just the translation quota. Everything else has to be teaching stuff.

Managed a little symposium fixing, too.

[Parasaurolophus]

Translation quota plus a few hundred words of either the special issue or the symposium piece.

Getting back in the swing of things after a week away. Made some progress on both book projects today.

I got the first two slides started for my presentation next week. That is barely anything obviously, but tomorrow I have more time plus some on Friday as well.
