Special thx to my Inverte Ecol class today @southwesternU who stepped up! Collectively, they took l, w & mass of 465 apple snails removed from by @sanantonioriver on Monday. Even more impressive - they did it on their own while I watched remotely. #pandemicteaching #covidpositive

It appears I made it through January but like many I’m not ok. Bad dreams about forgetting to administer my first year bio exam included. #pandemicteaching

Just a couple of words. Typed almost anonymously in a chat window. Made such a difference to me.

Gotta remember to pay that back to students with my own handfuls of kind words.

Nice 2 get beyond the masks today @SouthwesternU for one remote class compared to usual 1-hour in-person. Was just for today but loved seeing inquisitive faces. Think it helped create a little more classroom community. #pandemicteaching #morethanoneapproach

I'm giving that another year to settle down a bit.
The main reason for the others is that #pandemicteaching and especially #pandemicadmin left me with no time at all for even the tiny chunks of research I can usually fit into a semester.
