Buffalonian stuck in SoCal

Professor teaching GenBio, Marine Biology, Oceanography, Microbiology, and Zoology at a Community College.

My research speciality is marine microbiology, focusing on harmful algal bloom ecology. I still manage a HAB monitoring citizen science project in SoCal, but my day to day life is currently devoted to working on increasing STEM student success with active learning pedagogy.

I don't create original posts often, but I read every day, and boost what I enjoy.

#Canvas is back

Long workweek that ended with a migraine means a peaceful morning with waffles and the #BeachBoys to keep the migraine from coming back. I have a few more minutes where I can pretend I don’t have a pile of work to do today 🫠 including a pile of dreaded #Grading 😬

A few weeks ago my second grader made a diorama of a polar tundra with an arctic fox. This past Friday her school had an international festival, and she brought home all sorts of tiny “souvenirs” from each country she visited. Today I found the #UN flag planted in the tundra.

When my kids are home, they make sure I’m #NeverAlone. Totally not trying to work on something important.

#AccountabilityCheckIn
I’ve reached Day 11 of running every day!!! The goal is 30min a day, and I entered this with the knowledge that I may have to give myself grace to establish this routine to get my body used to it. Only 3 days have I not met the 30 min goal. 2 of those days I did a mile and walked the rest of my route due to breathing issues (I have exercise induced asthma). Today I had a lot of Achilles pain so I only ran 9 min, but walked the rest of my route. #RunningStreak

What exactly do the #BuffaloBills think they are doing? I can’t even type I’m so furious…. Apparently firing a coach the entire locker room loves but keeping the idiot GM is the way to Super Bowl success?
