Instead I'll tell you what's cute: the dog grabbing a toy and running at a squirrel squeaking it like crazy. If squeaks could kill! Lol.

Just spent 5 hours grading a short essay exam in Canvas. I apparently missed that even when the answer shows as graded in canvas the grade isn't saved unless you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click update.

Paper accepted! Happy dance! I'm just a middle author, but the team is marvelous and I'm so happy for (and impressed by) the lead author Ashley Schulz. Science to follow once it's closer to actual publication.
