Some #research problems are bigger than others! Example: today’s problem includes manuscript edits that cover three screens, half the desk, and a string of text messages 😂

#NeedAMoreAdultAdult (oh wait…that’s me…)

[Lego Forage Specialist @LegoForages]

Tis the season for piles of sweatshirts in the back of the truck because it’s #winter in the morning and #summer in the afternoons! Tis not the season for planting summer annuals. Adjust your upcoming #forage plans accordingly 😂

Check out the #impact of the #forage conference held in conjunction with @GA_Cattlemens last week!
#ActualForageSpecialist will be working with her #friends all year on this topic thanks to #research #grant funds from @GaFarmBureau !

A great big #HappyBirthday #surprise from the UGA Young Scholars Tifton team! Complete with #stickers, a mini birthday card, and her very own “cardboard” cutout 😂

Nothing to see here. Just a #LittleBittySpecialist stealing some #cookie dough to go with #breakfast! That’s allowed on #birthday celebration days!

[Lego Forage Specialist @LegoForages]

Have you #herd? #LegoForageSpecialist turned SIX on Saturday! Unfortunately, #ActualForageSpecialist was too busy to #celebrate such a milestone so her #birthday was postponed to this #Friday.

Any suggestions to make it the #BestDayEver and bring a little #joy to our #friends???

[Lego Forage Specialist @LegoForages]

So…we are not sure how many #cookies and #cupcakes need to be baked to make the week better…but so far 90 cookies and 32 cupcakes isn’t it…

4/4 Our #science #community is strong and we will do our best to get through this. Today is just one of those #BadDays. #HugYourScientist

[Lego Forage Specialist @LegoForages]

1/4 Today might be a good day to check on your #friends in #academia. You should probably check in with everyone, but we are just going to comment on last week’s whirlwind of news from our perspective.

#HugYourScientist

[Lego Forage Specialist @LegoForages]

3/4 How do you tell #gradstudents that #learning and #research opportunities are going to be limited? How do you tell previous #students that everything is okay when their position was unfairly terminated? How do you explain to stakeholders that resources aren’t available?

Nothing to see here. Just a #LittleBittySpecialist getting her #chocolate fix on #valentinesday 😂

#HappyValentinesDay #Lego #SendMoreChocolate

[Lego Forage Specialist @LegoForages]

We are too busy to #celebrate #GalentinesDay but our @GaFarmBureau #research grant was funded! We are working with Dr. Taylor Singleton on building biosecurity plans to combat #invasivespecies in #forages. Its no #waffle, but still a win 😂

We had an #awesome time teaching fifth graders about #forage, #research, and #BigKidJobs this week! At the end of each class we asked students to design their own #lego postcard. The one from #ActualForageSpecialist is below 😂

When the going get tough, the LEGO gets out a second computer 😂
