    That's Pretty Neat

    I learned today that I'm so old I'm probably going to have archaeologists hanging around soon. Listen to this, go watch Neature Walk, and I'm going to go take some Advil for my aching old man joints and watch reruns of MASH.

    Trust the Process

    Trust the Process

    Life is....something right now. Wild? Crazy? Unpredictable? Finding a process that helps you find your center goes a long way to getting your brain right. For me, one of those processes is making a good cup of coffee! 



    This episode was inspired, in part, by a tweet from last week by The PhD Story.

    You Made It!

    You Made It!

    If you're reading these show notes and/or listening to this podcast, you've made it through 2020 and to today. I know it's been hard and I know things look bleak sometimes, but making it through this year has proven you can do hard things. Keep striving and keep going. I love all you nerds, and can't wait to talk plants with you again next week!
