March Research

[Sun_Worshiper]

I received a light R&R yesterday (this will be the second R&R for this paper, so tying up loose ends at this point). Hope to turn it around quickly - probably in early April.

I made the revisions on this last week and resubmitted last night. Glad to get it off my desk and hopeful that my next contact from the journal will be a congratulatory one.

I want to be as productive as Faith786 when I grow up!

Well, I hope I don't disappoint...I'm not yet a grown-up, at least not in my mind, and I look up to others...the ones with five digit Google scholar citations, as mine are only in the three digit range.

FYI...I started the April Research as a new topic...

[Parasaurolophus]

• Divisional conference organization
• Annual conference organization
• Touch up two book sections
• Start a new book section
• Read 1-2 items for Collaboration 3

It doesn't feel like I did much, but I got the things done!

Today, I'll maybe try my hand at touching up a book section if I have the time. Also, like you, darkstarrynight, I need to stop taking on new projects. In particular, I need to say 'no' to anything and everything new this month.
