#DayofScience
In a typical #DayOfScience, I climb mtns, survey endangered #oaks, and have fun. How about you @ScientistESS? #mortonSci @MortonArboretum

I'm hard at work on a big grant due next Friday, but you should all be following #scienceathon and #dayofscience, hosted by @ESWNtweets!

We’re headed to doggie daycare to pick up Neko, and then home. The sky is getting overcast-we’ve got a nor’easter coming in, so we need to secure anything loose in the yard. #dayofscience

5:10 pm: Normally I’d be returning the vans for my Field Natural History class, so here’s a thread from a couple of weeks ago about our trip to a bog for a taste of my typical fall teaching! https://x.com/jacquelyngill/status/1179528372969451520?s=21 #dayofscience

Here’s the seed, cone, and needle reference collection we use to help identify unknown plants for projects like #labreawebs! Those big skulls are casts—a saber tooth and a short-faced bear. #dayofscience

Good morning! I’m tweeting my #dayofscience today in support of @science_a_thon.

My day started at 6 am. I had breakfast with @jackshoegazer, got ready for the day, and we just dropped Neko off at daycare (she loves “school” so much, I couldn’t get a non-blurry photo of her!).

Not pictured: my face when the USDA agent emailed me to tell me I’d applied for the wrong permit (I even called and asked!) and had to start over. Science often involves a lot of not-very-exciting paperwork, too. #dayofscience

9 am: We hold “pollen clinics” twice a week, training my grad students to identify ancient pollen from mud cores. @KitHamley is working on a site in Alaska, reconstructing the landscapes of the first people in the Americas. This core goes back >30,000 years. #dayofscience

10 am: Applying for a USDA permit to import pressed plants we collected in Russia. We’ll use these as a reference to ID ancient pollen, plant fragments, and DNA from fossil dung, cores, and permafrost for our #NSFunded research. #BeringTimeBridge #dayofscience #BEASTLab

11 am: Touring our storage space in the new building—it’s got tools to build equipment #, a washer/dryer, gear cages, work tables, lots of shelving for our field equipment. Here’s Dan showing off one of the Climate Change Institute’s ice core drills! #dayofscience #ClimateChange

1:15 pm: On a call with my new web designer. It’s a two-sister team, company, it’s local, and I’m excited to work with them to finally get our lab website up and running! #dayofscience

2 pm: I normally teach a field lab Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, but we had fall break, so I’ve got a big block of free time! I walked to the Union, grabbed a chaider (hot cider steamed with a bag of chai), and I’m working on @DulcineaGroff’s manuscript edits. #dayofscience
November 26, 2024 at 12:42 AM
3:30 pm: Taking a break from manuscript edits to check email. I just got an assignment from a student who took an incomplete last spring. I can now give them a final grade, yay! It’s not glamorous, but a #dayofscience involves a lot of email, problem-solving, and logistics.

7:17 pm: workout complete! I usually do boxing and strength each week. Both help me feel powerful, capable, and centered. #dayofscience
November 26, 2024 at 12:41 AM
4:20 pm: Joined by @jackshoegazer, an adjunct lecturer in the English department. He’s been teaching all day, and I just finished editing a manuscript and got notice that another student submitted a paper, so we’re celebrating with snacks while we work. #dayofscience
November 25, 2024 at 11:16 PM
5:40 pm: We’re home! The first thing we do is take Neko for a walk. It’s a good time to decompress and talk about our day. Also, our German Shepherd/husky mix keeps us on a strict routine, regardless of rain or blizzards. #dayofscience
November 25, 2024 at 11:16 PM
6:25 pm: Strength class at my gym! It took me a long time to find a system that worked for me. Working out has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my overall physical and mental wellness. #dayofscience
November 25, 2024 at 11:16 PM
8:01 pm: Dinner! @jackshoegazer made French onion soup (vegetarian, from the Moosewood cookbook). We try not to eat in front of the TV most nights, but sometimes, it’s a dinner-in-your-pajamas-watching-Suits kinda night. #dayofscience
