Friends! @caraebrook, Ricardo Rocha, and I wrote a piece about bat conservation in an age of coronaviruses, and Scientific American just put it up as the top feature on their homepage. Read it here: blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/b…

I emailed an academic to ask them to send me a pdf offprint of their otherwise inaccesibly paywalled new paper and was told that to do so would be ‘unfair to the journal’. I must be living in a parallel universe. I’ve reviewed for that bloody journal twice for my usual £0 fee 🤯

Ah! Found a little oases attached to my apt building and spent a lovely afternoon there working on my thesis. I haven't been this productive in a long time. #wfh in a tiny dorm room for 87 days just doesn't work. Academic Chatter™ #phdlife #lifeinquarantine

Endless visa applications for conferences; tons of paperwork to maintain legal status; Unexpected restrictions on work and extra complexity for tax. People inpatiently asked why I always had this or that non-academic problems, I said not being a citizen is not my fault.

Learned quite a lot from the comments. Yesterday must be my first day using a computer.

Our paper on the population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora is officially out today science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…. In it, we take the first steps toward the genomic prediction of bleaching and found some exciting results along the way (1/11)

This immediately gets material girl like me.

Back to the office! I have moved lab and office many times during my PhD but would never imagine ending up in one with such fantastic view! Working efficiency has been greatly improved. Never been so grateful about being able to work in an office before 2020. Academic Chatter™
