Shea Plans

Matcha was the main character of May.

It started with me wanting to have less coffee, which turned into matcha runs, homemade banana matcha lattes, and re-realizing that I have to slow down.

Still love my coffee deeply, but matcha carried me gently this month.

So here’s a matcha dump before the month ends. 🍵

A late night at my desk reading through submissions. 🤸‍♂️

This part of the work is quiet but meaningful. Is it less tiring because I’m at home? Not really. But it’s part of the job. 😅

Just posting this photo of me with one of my graduate students.

We’ve been blessed to be accepted for a young scientist research grant which allows her as the mentee to have funding for her master’s thesis as I, the mentor, guide her through managing a research project. It’s technically still her master’s thesis plus the work of having a project. At least that’s how we see things. 😅

This lady’s going to be the princess of parasitic copepods in the country (she gets to be the queen if she decides to pursue her doctorate 😅). Nobody else here does her work, not even me. 🤙🏼
