I present the most beautiful CFU I've seen, which reminds me of a rosette window! It came from a Red-tailed hawk! 😍

[Dr. Brian Lovett @lovettbr]

I’m on the market! 🎉

What do I do?
-I develop research questions and applied biotechnology to understand and disrupt insect symbioses.
-I coordinate international teams to tackle interdisciplinary global challenges.
-I train mycologists, entomologists and insect pathologists.

Procrastination can be a sign that you don't have what you need to complete a task:

Instead of putting off replying to an email, maybe you need to say "I'm not sure how to respond because..."

Instead of putting off a task, maybe you need to reach out for advice to complete it.
