Sometimes I wonder if @MeghanMidgley regrets hiring me. I’m just trying to make community assembly easier to understand.

I just got back reviews on a paper where a reviewer said I didn’t pay close enough attention to Barber et al. (2023) but I suggest you didn’t sir, because if you had you would have seen I’m included in that et al. @BarberEcology #reviewer2

Ok, I know I just took a job a soil science faculty but I’ve decided to do a hard pivot in my research to this. Send cat pics (I will accept all pets, I’m a multidisciplinary researcher).
As part of my research, I asked participants to share a single photo of their cat and also WHY they picked that particular photo. The commentary is *priceless*. My synapses are flooded with serotonin. I want more. I *need* more! Show me your cat pic and tell me why *that photo*.
