Finally backed up & updated my 2021 Macbook Air to Sequoia from its original OS, Big Sur (I knooow 😂). Avoiding Tahoe for now because of mixed reviews on M1 performance. But hoping this & an updated Chrome will fix the recent Streamyard audio issues during on-camera book club.

I hope someone will do collecting & sequencing here in Jefferson County because the biogeography of these small Plethodon in AL is really cool and we don't know what's at these sites up here
