It’s been a while since I’ve tweeted, but I’ve recently hired a personal assistant. This is Cassandra (or Cassie) and she will be stepping on keyboards while I’m trying to type, filling my life with joy, and crashing Zoom calls for the duration of my PhD (and beyond)!

R/V Oceanus is on her very last cruise ever right now, off the OR coast. We thank her and her crew for their service, and, for helping us learn so much about our ocean. Here she is heading to sea a few days ago. Fair winds and following seas, Oceanus! Photo: Richard Wisner.

The phd student urge to receive awesome news, enjoy it for 30 minutes, proceed to diminish the accomplishment, then go back to struggling with the next thing 😅

I thought wrapping a fleece or sweater around a heating pad and leaving it on my bed was a great way to keep my cat off my keyboard during meetings. It works very well, but now I can’t fold laundry without Cassie deciding it’s naptime 🤦🏼‍♀️ #Caturday

Happy holidays from the fluffy potato herself, Lady Cassandra! #Christmas #holidayseason #HappyHolidays #Caturday #Catmas

I take back that "if I could have any superpower, it would be to talk to animals" BS. Now I want a superpower where I can look at a box and I can immediately tell what samples are in there.

Hi All! I’ll be defending my Master’s in about two weeks on Thursday Feb 17 at 2 pm PST. I’ll be discussing concentration runoff relationships and the trace element rhenium in the PNW, USA. Send me a DM if you’d like me to share the zoom link with you!

Cassie chose tonight to climb back into my lap on the couch, which she hasn’t done in a while. She’s come so far in health and confidence since I adopted her; we just passed the 3-month mark, I think she realizes this is home ❤️ #CatLife #WhoRescuedWho #GradSchoolPet
