My speaking schedule: The Urban Scientist coming to a town near you

I?m back and I am definitely at ?em.? I?m working to get a lot of work done by the end of the semester? I have some major benchmarks to meet: manuscripts submitted, securing animals, paperwork, red tape, and more.? My workload is a little heftier.? Plus, I?m traveling quite a bit.? The good news is maybe I?ll be in a town near you.

I have set some goals for myself.? One of them is to increase my research productivity. (I?ll be taking on some undergraduate research assistants soon. I feel the need coming on strong.)

A second goal is to earn some residual income (these student loans are killing me).? One of my professional objectives during my post-doc time is to increase my professional profile.? Since I haven?t been shy about using social media, (Shoot, I ain?t shy about nothing) I would like to knock out multiple birds with one stone.? I plan on giving more presentations about science, research, outreach and social media.

If anyone is interested in working with me (or contracting me to do some occasional freelance work or give a workshop or presentation) or you have contacts, then please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Or if you want to meet up (or tweet up for my Online Friends) when I am in your region, then let?s do that too.
