Cleaning office, and still finding it difficult to dispose of undergraduate course notes from 45 years ago. What if I need them?! #academia #retirement

Years ago I gave surplus experimental #aspen to the UW–Madison grounds crew, who planted them along Biotron Ck that runs through campus. Now the re-establishing #beaver have discovered them! "Bucky Beaver," anyone? #urbanwildlife UW–Madison CALS

Continuing the office cleanout: research & manuscript file drawer, 1995-2010. All that paper! Or, so little paper for so much work! UW–Madison #retirement #chemicalecology #plantinsectinteractions #researchcollaboration

A day in the incomparable #DriftlessRegion. Forest spring, #springcreek, and a few nice #browntrout. #flyfishing #Wisconsin

Nearing another record high temp in #Madison today. How we all feel… #squirrel #thermoregulation #toohot

Of >20 NSF grants during my career, THIS one was most professionally transformative. Forever grateful, U.S. National Science Foundation! (Check out that 2-yr #postdoc stipend!) #NSFPostdoc UW–Madison #chemicalecology #sciencecareers #retirement #cleaningoutfilecabinet #researchgrant

After having moved into my UW–Madison lab long ago, only today did I learn that I should have inherited a 1964 #Rambler! If anybody has seen it...

Delighted to promote writingthewild.org, a 1-year writing journey guided by (daughter) Krissy Kludt (Krissy Kludt) & J. Drew Lanham (J. Drew Lanham). Terrific slate of guest poets and nature writers! #writingthewild #naturewriting #poetry #earthcare #soulcraft

Have I ever said the #DriftlessRegion is one of my favorite places on Earth? ‘Cause it is! (And not only for the #flyfishing!) #Wisconsin #biodiversity #glaciology #trout #tudare Trout Unlimited

When you finally get around to cleaning out the deep recesses of the pantry, years after the kids have left home. #benefitsofretirement #emptynest

Aldo Leopold moved from Arizona to #Madison, WI in 1924, bringing with him a treasured #clivia plant. 100 years later, this 6th generation cutting - gifted from a friend - is blooming for the first time! #aldoleopold UW–Madison

Last week I had to cancel a Delta international flight because federal funding for my lisa award was rescinded. I need "proof of cancellation" but Delta seems incapable of providing it. A little help, please?! #customerservice #Delta #sciencefunding #cutbacks
