Alright, The Flame Chub Manuscript Has Been Accepted!

I heard from the Senior Editor of the journal Endangered Species Research this morning. She had forwarded my flame chubs manuscript to a potential article editor in Ontario, and he said it should be accepted and that he'd be willing to work on it to kick it into final shape. So, that was surprisingly easy. It's always an ego boost to have an article accepted. Hopefully we can turn this around quickly and have it posted on their web site. In the time since when I originally submitted the article in June I have some new observations to weave in.

I had a staggered lab meeting with four students today about what we're going to do in my lab this semester. Everyone had agreed to a 2 o'clock meeting, but of course two of them realized this morning that they did indeed have a class conflict. So it wound up as a 2 X 2 meeting. We're going to start by measuring the brains of the scarlet shiners from the 11-KT experiment, and also measure and examine the gut contents of the telescope shiners we caught last month at Estill Fork. We have a trip to Estill Fork scheduled for January 23, weather allowing, for another batch of telescopes and scarlets. We have to visit Limestone Creek, too, in the near future.
