April Research

[darkstarrynight]

Article accepted today! This is a solo hit in a very good journal, so I'm very happy. This paper was also rejected quite a few times before finding a home, which just goes to show that persistence is key.

Yippy! I needed to see someone's good news! I wrote a journal yesterday that has had an article under review for six months. The editor wrote back today that "it is with two reviewers, but hopefully you will get a decision very soon." Not sure how to take that other than clearly the editor(s) needed a nudge to check on the status.

Other things will interfere today, but I'll continue my reading. Wish I could write instead, but I'm at the point where I first need to educate myself.

Made decent progress.

I'm pretty swamped this month, between teaching, heavy involvement in two conferences, and a few service projects. But I do have a few April goals:

• Finish conference paper
• Do some light copy editing on a conditionally accepted manuscript to make the editor happy
• Keep working on data collection project

I can't wait to have more time during the summer to focus on my research, particularly on finally working through the data that my RAs have been collecting for the last several months.

A bit more reading for a new book section today. I should be able to finish the reading phase tomorrow. Whew!

(It's not that there's a lot to read, just that I have to space it out over many more days than usual.)

I've been forgetting to update here, but I've gotten some feedback on a draft of a grant proposal and incorporated suggestions from one of those readers today. Three more sets of comments wait to be incorporated some other day.

My new colleague in my department and I had a great conversation with some folks and received some archives for our project today.

Edits to one proposal (due tomorrow) done, and now to return to the NSF proposal.

[Parasaurolophus]

Gonna finish the book section reading today, and then maybe some Collaboration 3 reading.

Managed both!

The (online) divisional conference I organized is today and tomorrow, so I'll do that. I'd like to make a start on writing my new book section too, though.

Paper went well on Saturday,and I ended up listening to 3 more sessions' worth, and enjoyed them.

No requests to publish it (a friend said that can happen with this conference, which has its own journal; it's on hiatus, apparently), but I  have a better sense of what I want to do with it now.

Next one in...3 weeks or so.
