Coworking in Campbell River

  The Sociable Scientists have moved into a new office space at Campbell River Coworking! It’s pretty great that now I’m in a (potentially) collaborative work environment every time I’m at my desk.  As a sociable scientist, I like being sociable (obviously), and in the context of a number of the projects that I’m part, it’s important […]

Leisure Choices of A Sociable Scientist – How I Contribute to my Community Beyond Work Young Professionals of Campbell River (YPCR)

  When I moved to Campbell River in 2013, I wanted to get involved immediately in my new community and get to know how and where I could get to know motivated and dynamic thinkers (and hopefully make friends!).  Enter the Young Professionals of Campbell River and their organizational philosophy:       Community involvement?

Not so focussed

I’m stuck.  My list of things to do is long: projects to complete, data to analyze, emails to compose and send, marketing decisions to make, Spanish to learn, course material to prep, life in general to organize…yet here I sit, not doing any of those things.  Sharing more on my blog is also on the […]
