Back from the field, have some nature · 2:23am Apr 5th, 2021
Hello everyone,
Just got back from 5 days of field work. I'm tired, covered in scratches and cuts, probably a little sunburnt, and have just stopped hurting when I walk. But, I also bring pictures of the outside world and the wondrous things in it. Enjoy some of the beauty of nature without having to lug around a bunch of research equipment.

I will happily endure the outside to see things like this. Frankly, spending a week outside, getting pummeled by the elements, not showering, eating food that I can store for months in my backpack and sleeping in a tent is my idea of a great time.

It is.
I’m so jealous😭
What job do you have that lets you field research for a week?

As part of my PhD, I work as a field technician to pay for my tuition and cost of living.
Frustratingly, on the trip that I took those pictures (which took me from Los Angeles to the San Fransisco Bay Area along the California coast), I didn't actually find the species that I was sent out to find.
