in the details

We're still working out details with presentations and planning timelines for the future. The project is "com-bat-ing" (haha) white-nose syndrome in bats, and I noticed several students had their nails done with bat motifs. Such a charming detail!

At the convention center, I noticed one team walk into the room with a lot of swagger--it turned out to be the team from Cornell. I wondered later if that had indeed been swagger or if people had been giving them heat about the Jane Doe case and they were awkwardly compensating for that.

My calendar was packed with meetings with people back home, several of which had to pivot to Zoom or FaceTime because of the Microsoft outage. Lots of small meetings, one big meeting which presents me with additional responsibilities next year, and one CASA Board meeting that was at 6 pm (midnight here). The director said that she would bring me a treat at the next meeting for being such a trooper, and I thought she was saying she wanted me to bring her a treat from Paris. Details!
