Dr. Beetlelady!
I’M BBBAACCCKKK and my absence was not in vein. On December 5th, I graduated and was hooded with my PhD. Five years of graduate school and ten years since I returned to college full-time to pursue degrees in Entomology are suddenly behind me. So now I am submitting my research for publication, adjusting to my new life, and looking to what is next.

Congrats! I am so proud! Now all you have to do is go out and find a job! Keep in touch!

Thanks Amy! Nothing yet on the job front, but I’ve just started applying…
I just realized how sickeningly coordinated my hood and tassel are with my website colors. Sheesh!

Oh, I know you planned that color coordination.
Congrats Doctor Stephanie!

Thanks Ainsley and congratulations to you as well!!!
My next big challenge is not very post-doc compatible (see the end of my next post) and so I’m going to stick with my researcher privileges at the California Academy of Sciences for a while. They’ve been so good to me there.
