When I look into my heart, I see trees… There are trees in our hearts… When we come to understand nature, we are touching the most deep, the most important parts of ourselves.

Nalini Nadkarni, an ecologist, who studies the rainforest canopy (especially in Monteverde, Costa Rica, where I was studying for 4 months!). The above quote and image come from her awesome TED Talk about conserving the canopy - a canopy I know and love from first-hand experience. It’s definitely worth your time.

Reading publications that cite my lab

I wasn’t here when the paper being cited was published, but it’s still an awesome feeling.

Maps of Global Research Output as Referenced in This Video

Top map: Total peer-reviewed research output for all nations in 2001 viewed as geographical area.

Bottom map: Growth in peer-reviewed research from 1990-2001 viewed as geographical area.

U.S.A. - First in research … for now.

I feel like this won’t last too much longer =/ This might be an irrational fear, I just keep hearing about such amazing things overseas because the rules are well… much more lax.

Northwest Reppin’

God my school is gorgeous.

We’ve had snow days the past two days, and my first class on Tuesdays was canceled. I don’t ever have class on friday so this week I will have effectively had 2 classes and 1 day of work [if I go in tomorrow]. Lol. Normally I’d be fine with this but my professors are dickwads and we have homework due today and Monday and two on Tuesday even though we haven’t learned a thing =/ womp womp college problems. Still love my school. And yes it’s pretty covered in the snow but I hate the snow so I opted for this picture instead.
