Week 12
I feel like I have been teaching and answering emails all week.
The Sun has been out – it is finally spring time!
Summary
Project asterism: I did some writing and structuring.
Next week we will have an afternoon looking at the observables for this sample.
PLATO: I fixed one module, got a nice overview of what is left.
I need to add some tests but otherwise I am almost happy with where I am at.
I attended a big meeting Tuesday morning, which was nice.
pitchfork: I did a lot of reading, commenting and shaping.
rogue&hennes: I had multiple meetings to discuss a referee report.
rockyrocks: The shortest referee report came back and the paper was finally accepted later that day!
gmork: Paper submitted.
Teaching:
- I am teaching Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
- I supervised ~1 hour Tuesday and answered emails.
- I read “Helping Doctoral Students Write: Pedagogies for supervision” by Prof. Pat Thomson and Prof. Barbara Kamler - I need to structure my notes on the book.
Postdoc rep:
- I booked rooms for upcoming events.
- I invited people for the next jamboree, however, some declined the offer and I had to invite more.
admin:
- I did some planning of future travel with the group.
Key things
- I did many small things.
- I did do the key things I had planned for last week.
- I did nice things as a temp supervisor. I found my key areas that need to be improved going forward.
Challenges for next week
- There is a PBJamming session Wednesday that I need to prep for.
- Next week is last week of the semester so I expect many ‘urgent’ things before Friday from people with deadlines.
