Happy 2020! Is it almost the end of January? Absolutely! Do I still date things 2019? Definitely! AND IT WON'T STOP! Gotta love that first few months of the year where I don't have a CLUE what's going on, but I figured it would be a good time to stop and take stock of everything. And it is looking like it is going to be a good year! So without further ado, here's some updates to This Blog Is Trash. First, and foremost, I have some AMAZING new art for the blog, created by my talented little sister Karen Gibbs. You can see more of her art here! Woo supporting new artists! And just look at it! It's SO COOL Second, I want to post more frequently than once every few months! This goal was inspired by the Everglades Coalition Conference (which I just wrote about a week ago! AND JUST LEARNED I CAN LINK BLOG POSTS TO OTHER BLOG POSTS WOW!!). I had an amazing time, met some amazing people, and was reminded that not everyone knows a scientist, or even what scientists are up to these days! So I've decided to hold myself accountable - both by writing this post AND putting my blog on my business card. A BOLD PLAY BUT HERE WE ARE!
Third, I think I'm going to change up the blog a little bit. I know that all of my adoring fans only want to hear about trash, fish following floaty things, and of course the occasional extra long stint on big boats (ships... I know but some habits die hard), but I have a lot of friends doing incredible work for their research, jobs, and hobbies so I thought maybe I could include interviews of professional non-trash scientists to see where that takes the blog. If you have thoughts, concerns, topics of interest, or just want to say "hey", please feel free to leave me a comment, drop me a line, or maybe send me a message in a bottle! Writing this sort of feels like standing at the top of the Maersk Launcher talking to the ocean because I have no feedback without comments, so feel free to say something (if only to help me out). Lastly, I'm really excited to start blogging back up and hope I can find a way to encourage people to keep up! Happy 2020!

AuthorBree Gibbs, here. I'm a recent Master's Grad just trying to share what it's like to be a trash scientist (for those who aren't in the know, I'm a marine biologist). Categories
