8 years of notes from research meetings, lab meetings, seminars, brainstorming sessions and to-do lists from 4th year undergrad to now. For most of this period finishing this PhD felt mostly impossible and overwhelming, glad to have made it through with the help of my slightly illegible scribbles.

Saw 3 cardinals and 3 red-tailed hawks on my walk to campus this morning. Good sign I think! Birds not pictured.

Not sure what inspired this, since I haven’t tried to do a GWAS since 2018

Dog meme. “Pls gwas”. “No correcting for population structure” “only gwas”

A crisp fall day at brickworks :)

Edgar providing critical bioinformatics support. His consulting fees are steep but his expertise in biting for no reason and walking on laptops is unparalleled!
