Moving to a new state to do some new science!

The early stages of a scientific career are designed to be unstable, sling-shotting you from place to place as you acquire new skills. I bucked this paradigm somewhat in the first years after finishing my PhD, teaching, and working on local projects in order to stay in the Bay Area. But the lure of learning from a cool new lab proved irresistible. So towards the end of August this year, I moved out to Minneapolis to start a postdoc.

The strangeness of my everyday situations as a postdoc

One of the things I like about what I do is the strangeness of my everyday situations. There’s more of the boring old ‘sitting at a computer’ situation than I would like, but the ‘measuring baby birds on a mountaintop’ situation helps make up for that. Now that field work is over for the season, my situations are different, but not really less strange.
