I had a great chat with Lauren for this podcast! And I even included my knitting as an essential piece of "field gear" for a recreation ecologist. 😀

I end my classes w/ time for students to write a short reflection of what they learned that day. I typically include a pic of my cats on the slide w/ the reflection prompt. Students have started sending me photos of their pets & plants to include on that slide. This brings me so much joy this term.

It was actually sunny today and my window cling made a lovely little patch of rainbows in my office. Hopefully a good sign on the first day of Winter Term. 😊

Been pretty quiet on here lately for lots of reasons but mostly b/c I was trying to disconnect during sabbatical.

But! Field studies are ramping up and I just got back from a lovely place with great colleagues from University of Montana. Yay for collaborative science!

Wrapping up a week of fieldwork at Curecanti National Recreation Area with colleagues from University of Montana. We’re trying to better understand the experience and movement of anglers on Blue Mesa Reservoir. Yay for collaborative science!

On sabbatical this year, so I haven’t taught since March 2023. I guest lectured today for a grad student so she didn’t have to cancel class. I came home after and immediately napped. 😆 I love teaching but forgot how draining it is - especially as an introvert.

On sabbatical this year, so haven’t taught since March 2023. I did a “guest lecture” today for my grad student so she didn’t have to cancel class (a class she is covering for me). I came home after and immediately napped. 😆 I love teaching but forgot how draining it is - especially as an introvert.

Back from a work meeting in South Lake Tahoe. Got to spend a lovely field day in the Desolation Wilderness. 😍

I just did @SkypeScientist w/ a 5th grade class to help prepare them for a camping trip to a state park. The teacher is having them present what they learned about recreation ecology to the other classes going on the trip so they can enjoy nature while minimizing disturbance. ❤️

Since I am on sabbatical this term, I have been trying to work as little as possible on Fridays to give myself three day weekends most weeks. Today I used some of my free time to bake a “confetti cake” covered in multicolored stars! 💫

You can also find me in the sky place now - "AshRecEco".

And here's a photo of a gnome I knit just because. 🍄

Hi folks! I am an Associate Prof at Oregon State and study recreation ecology and outdoor recreation management. I mostly work in parks and protected areas in the U.S. and my research aims to help balance recreation use with conservation goals. I also knit (A LOT) & have two adorable cats. #HiSciSky

Today was my first official day of my academic sabbatical. Really looking forward to some focused time for reading, writing, and - of course - some knitting. 😊 Today I took a midday knitting and reading break outside in my garden where our roses are having a second bloom.
