Teaching a 1 credit discussion style grad class using these resources next semester. New topic for me so if anyone has used these books and has suggestions or ideas I welcome them! #Ecology USGSCoopUnits 🐾 🎣 Clemson CAFLS

We just learned of the passing of Dr. David Tonkyn who served on the faculty Biological Sciences for many years. Dave had a positive impact on so many! He will be missed but his scientific legacy will carry on.

Teaching days are always a time warp...how did it get to be so late in the day already?!

Just got off a call with a colleague S.C. Dept. of Natural Resources. She mentioned digging into theses from our lab from several years ago to pull out details on nesting from a few different species. A great reminder of the enduring value of the work our students do and how it supports our partners.

What is it with reviewer 2? Do they have an inferiority complex b/c they were not Reviewer 1? Did they miss the class in Reviewer school on how to provide a good review while still being polite? Seems like someone needs to do a podcast about this.
