Officially on academic leave for an unknown period of time at the end of this semester. I will be looking for academic job opportunities for my time away in Ohio.

I am planning on finishing my current semester and still plowing through all my current responsibilities with gusto! I am hopeful that I will find my passion again before I decide to take a break, but will accept it, if not.

Losing your passion for your research is heartbreaking. I hope that through this reflective period that I can find that passion again!

Life update. I am currently writing my dissertation proposal and comps list for next semester. Eta for my comp exams is March!!

Looking for some must reads for my comps list on; morphological diversity in non-human primates of Africa, heritable skull traits in non-human primates, macromorphoscopic analysis of skeletal traits, and gorilla geographic diversity expressed in dentition.

I have another goal for this month that I would like to accomplish. I want to raise $250 for essential item bags for the unhoused communities in my area. I plan to put things in the bags such as items for the winter weather, as well as hygiene items.
