oooOOOOOH

thanks so much! this was helpful as I migrated to Quarto!

thanks to all of you for these great resources and inspiration! I built it last week (it was extremely easy) and am adding images and some formatting now. bare-bones but functional which is ideal for the low-maintenance goal ;) www.alexafredston.com

Super interesting. An alternative, in case you're looking for one, is an optional-but-highly-encouraged "bootcamp" right before/as class starts to fill identified knowledge gaps. My grad program did this for Masters students to (re-)teach calculus for their required stats course.

It sounds like you've found that fewer students can keep up relative to when you first developed the course. Assuming you think that's true, any ideas why, or what the learning / skill gaps are?

It's been fabulous with any stainless steel, carbon steel, and ceramic coated pans. I think you'll be fine. Having so much cooking area in a small kitchen has really been a game changer for us.

Also, their proprietary cleaning paste is pretty useful.

We have had the Freedom 30" for about a year. Pros: I use a huge griddle on it daily; it boils water crazy fast; I can Tetris so many pans I never run out of space. Cons: I hate the touchscreen; it overheats after hours of use; it's ruined all my Greenpans; it heats Lodge unevenly.

if you'll be at #WSN2025 be sure to catch Jordana's talk (8:30AM on Sat in the intertidal session) and ask her all about this project and the other marine biogeography projects we have in the pipeline!

understanding extreme events and #speciesonthemove is rarely possible with modern-day datasets. instead, we screened hundreds of papers and read agency reports (like these books from the UCSC library) to bring old observations of range extensions to light. some species shifted 1000s of km in a year!
