Why are you using chatgpt to get through college. Why are you spending so much time and money on something just to be functionally illiterate and have zero new skills at the end of it all. Literally shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to waste thirty grand you can always just buy a sportscar.

boy i wish someone would deliberately court public attention with bald-faced lies and then pretend they were honest all along

ok i didnt hit all the sites i wanted to today but that is partly because one of them installed a new (locked) gate that nobody knew about
and also because i'll keep it real with you that site wasnt worth trapping
planning fieldwork itinerary "yeah 20 minutes per trap is probably a good conservative estimate"
do fieldwork. average of 50 minutes per trap
#like it had all the characteristics of a different site like 1 kilometre away from it#and without trapping it we've still got approximately enough traps#also my ass is not disturbing my supervisors on a public holiday to get me through a locked gate whichi probably should've checked about#anyway very pleasant afternoon hoisting ropes up trees with my friends in a patch of nice forest on a sunny afternoon :)

announcing the homo floresiensis de-extinction project!
in this groundbreaking program to revive the enigmatic human relative from the indonesian isle of Flores known as "the hobbit", we'll be cloning a random office worker and decisively editing their genes to perfectly replicate the extinct human relative. these edits will include:
1) making them a bit shorter
2) giving them large, hairy feet (like the hobbits from your favourite movies lord of the rings!!!!)
3) giving them the desire to live in a hole (like the hobbits from your favourite movies lord of the rings!!!!!!)
invest today!

any ecologists want to weigh in on the "is habitat fragmentation sensu stricto bad" argument in the notes. i feel like i'm going insane
you ever blindly stumble into areas of intense academic controversy

#did you guys know there's a heated ongoing debate among ecologists over whether or not habitat fragmentation#(when considered seperately from habitat loss) is bad for biodiversity or if all the supposed negative effects are just due to habitat loss#i sure didnt know that#when i took this project on the effects of habitat fragmentation
