Those colors are trippy, I love it!
This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here's what I've got:
-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more
-Plant beans/peas earlier
-Plant okra later
-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!
-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em
-Wouldn't bother with celery again, probably
-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I'd do kohlrabi again too
-Planted too many types of lettuce
Huh, I've never considered estimating the weight of my hands, but after reading I can see the importance/application.
Love the contrast of all the greenery with the jelly ears!
That really sucks, it's not cool that they took you on as a student when they knew they'd be looking to leave the university. The closest comparison I have is I had a classmate whose PI left the university and offered to take her, but she decided to master out instead. It didn't affect her career and was ultimately a great move.
I think it's normal that you'd have trouble trusting them again and you should probably consider your options. Can you transfer to another lab in your department? Alternatively, you said you went through all the trouble to travel and apply at the new university. Can you still go and just pick a new lab there? If you're post-candidacy/quals/etc, they should hopefully respect that and maybe it can accelerate your track.
Well, did she have any?
Sweet! There are some additional more specific arthropod communities (arachnids and myriapods off the top of my head) on mander.xyz if anyone is looking.
Midday after working outside and getting really dirty or sweaty, when it's still bright enough outside that you don't have to turn the lights on and the bathroom is only lit from the window, you're already so hot from working that the water has to start out lukewarm, and also you have a shower beer. My favorite kind.
Some type of stonefly, I think.
I think others are right that a lot of the issues you're having are related to the size of the insurance you joined.

Not a fungus: Ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is a parasitic plant commonly mistaken for a mushroom.

I see these all over the Midwest. Learn about how Monotropa uses the fungal connection between tree roots to siphon nutrients on this old webpage recommended by the US Forest Service.
This coneflower I pass on my walk to work has been super popular with all kinds of insects
I love how tiny and delicate they are! Northern West Virginia.

Found this eastern red centipede coiled around her eggs while I was out looking for millipedes today
(mander.xyz)
I believe this is Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, the eastern red centipede. Females protect the clutch from predators and mold spores, and some species also protect young after they hatch.

Damn, I've been struggling this week with whether I should leave my PhD program with a master's or keep toughing it out, and this really hit home for me.
