July Research!

[Parasaurolophus]

I'll work on one of those last two sample sections today, and try to get it polished up and off.

[darkstarrynight]

Yesterday I spent most of the day working on data analysis since I am meeting with my subfield colleague on Friday morning to discuss our results. I am going to continue with this in the afternoon and tomorrow to finalize my part of it before we proceed. Then we return to the manuscript to get it done!

There has been a little drama with the two other co-authors on the revision due soon, but the first author and I connected and we are going to finish the revisions ourselves. I anticipate spending time next week on that.

Done, and almost done the other, too.

Well, now that I'm making proper progress I realize that I don't have enough items. The key is lots of small items, so that I have something to check off even if I don't finish a full task.

Working on the last sample section today. If I'm lucky I'll have enough time to finish it.

[darkstarrynight]

Yesterday and this morning I finished my data analysis and sent notes to my subfield colleague before we meet tomorrow. I am still waiting for the first author on the other paper to get my revisions done once hu is done. I plan to start looking at colleagues' sabbatical applications that were successful in recent years as I think about mine.

Huh, look at that. I've crossed off lots of things! I bet I can finish my ML project batch of tasks by the end of Friday, or if not finish, at least get a big chunk of them done. If I'm focused. Big if. Focus has been terrible this week.

I did some and it's close, but I don't have the energy to finish today.

[Parasaurolophus]

I'll try to finish off polishing that section this week, so I can do other stuff next week.

Well, didn't get all the ML tasks finished, but I did get the most tiresome one done! Probably a lot of the 'building dataset objects' is going to involve fixing bugs in the combinatorial blueprints, but gosh it's nice to have those blueprints all constructed! What a chore. My desk is covered with crumbs from baked goods and snacks and iced coffees. Probably I should go take a walk.

Later, y'alls! Have a nice weekend!

I plan to start looking at colleagues' sabbatical applications that were successful in recent years as I think about mine.

My subfield colleague and I had a really good meeting today to review our data analysis and found we are pretty much on the same wavelength which is great. I need to work next week on a new "base" manuscript to work on because our last version is from November 2020 but then we updated it for a shortened conference proposal and they need to be merged a bit. I feel good about that on track for the 9/1 deadline.

First author sent me the manuscript for the R&R due 8/8 that hu finished edits on as well as our responses to reviewer comments. I have to work next week to finish my revisions and responses so the other two authors can do a final review before resubmitting.

I hope this afternoon to look at one friend's sabbatical application since hu is coming over for dinner!

Done. Now for something else... maybe my R&R?

[Parasaurolophus]

A little R&Ring today.
