Something to watch out for

Today I had the pleasure of giving an interview to a local NPR radio station about the infamous Hesperopithecus, and I'll provide you all with a link as soon as the feature is up. I was a little bit nervous, but I think I did alright.

[As an aside, if things have been a little light on here lately it's because this past week has been, in no uncertain terms, hellish. Between midterms, being sick, writing a few pages of my book every night, and still fighting the university to let me major in evolutionary anthropology, I've been feeling a little drained. Spring break is coming up soon, though, and although I have no actual plans it will be something of a relief compared to the present chaos.]

In all the chaos of having interrupted internet and lots of stormy weather, I never posted a January Anyway Project Update - oops, sorry! So here's an early February one, and I'll try and do one in late Feb. as well, because, of course, I'll definitely be accomplishing double in this short month…

I feel your pain, brother. Being sick sucks, fighting a university really sucks, and I can only imagine that writing a book is a lot of work. I have missed your uber-posts, though.

Congrats on the NPR interview, sir!

Hearty congratulations on the NPR interview - very excited to hear it. Don't worry about being nervous - this should be the start of a long career of supra-blog media communications about science.

Hang in there - we've all been sick and busy like the dickens in these parts.

Congratulations on your interview! That's fantastic!

Sometimes, the best breaks are the ones where you have absolutely nothing planned whatsoever. Sometimes, you just need to sit and breathe.
