Welcome to my new blog!
Good to see you, or good to see you again if you are coming over from my old home. I started blogging about my hobbies and day-to-day life about 3 years ago and recently found myself writing more and more about my experiences as a science graduate student. So, this is my new forum to focus on the issues faced by graduate students, women in science, dual-career couples, long distance marriages, and whatever else may come my way as I finish my Ph.D. and figure out what comes next.
The Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans) is a seabird in the Southern hemisphere and is know to have the largest wingspan of any living bird species. They were also considered a good omen to sailors back in the old sailing days. I'm quite tall and once, a friend trying to call me an Amazon messed it up and called me an albatross. Given my science-y nature, I do quite a bit of wandering but even more wondering*.
*I love a good pun.

The albatross is one of my favorite birds!
Albatross alway make me think of the mystery story game I used to play with my campers.
Love the banner!

Brazen- That means a lot coming from such a bird enthusiast!
Nadine- I don't know that game but will have to look it up. Thanks- the Grackle graciously let me steal his picture.
Luckybuzz- Thanks! I'm glad someone will appreciate them =)
Just figured out who you were!! And guess what? I've seen and even touch albatrosses - they're great birds despite the myths of sailors.
Aha! I found you. I've been meaning to email to get the new blog info, but now I have it. Neat.
