Well, it’s the start of another quarter here, so what better time to jot down some goals for the next month? I head to Belize in November for some field work, so my primary October goal is to prepare for this trip. This includes having a solid list of tasks to make the best of my time there, which I hope to have my committee review for any feedback they might have. This month I would also like to take a stab at RADseq, and possibly EpiRADseq, two methods I hope to employ to characterize the population genetics and epigenetics of Porites astreoides in Belize.
