There are aspects of being a professor that are im There are aspects of being a professor that are impossibly hard. Things I would have never imagined having to think about and do (oh my gods, so many things!). But one of the things that I will always find the most amazingly rewarding is getting to work with some of the most utterly fabulous graduate students. Even when they humor me and do a really silly icebreaker game (and then get waaaay too into it and crack me up entirely). As this semester starts, I find myself entirely overjoyed to be working with these humans. #umontana #professor #professorlife #graduateschool #graduatestudents #academia #academiclife

My little tomatillo globes in the wonderful rain t My little tomatillo globes in the wonderful rain this morning. I can’t wait for some salsa! My garden has been going gangbusters this summer and I even got peppers—a small miracle in Montana. Thanks @kimmisstyle for the plants!! #garden #summer #summerrain #missoula #missoulamontana #missoulamoment #tomatillo #raindrops
Had to take a photo before the deer eat these pret Had to take a photo before the deer eat these pretty blooms I actually grew from seed (I have a terrible track record of getting plants to grow from seed 😬). They entirely clash with my purple and white scheme but they are making me happy today! #missoulalife #missoula #missoulamontana #montanalife #summer #flowers #bloom #blooms #orange #happyflowers
Lab Camp has been in full swing the last three wee Lab Camp has been in full swing the last three weeks, with these amazing students getting their feet wet in the wild world of molecular anthropology and ancient DNA. We have survived an insane heat wave, bunny suits, and bead cleans. I truly do have the best students! #umontana #professor #professora #professorlife #lab #labsofinstagram #labcamp #summer #summervibes #school #class #academia #anthropology #genetics #molecularanthropology
It’s been an amazing year together, full of fun It’s been an amazing year together, full of fun times, new adventures, and that crazy pandemic thing. I can’t imagine a better person to go through tough times with, or just bike around to our favorite breweries and have an excellent afternoon exploring and making me laugh! Love you @troybertimus!! #firstanniversary #missoula #adventure

Mama was close by but I could help pausing for a quick pic as the little one is positively the cutest thing ever!! #faun #deer #cute #adorable #missoula #missoulamontana #montana #montanaliving
One of the strange things about moving to #Montana One of the strange things about moving to #Montana (almost a decade ago, eep!) is that in the summer it’s light out until nearly 10:30. That’s when this pic was taken on my phone, and no it’s not a filter. It’s so wonderful as I adore long days and sunshine, and the ability to work in my garden until late. Sucks in the winter though, haha! #night #twilight #sky #clouds #montanamoment #montanalife #missoula #missoulamontana #missoulalife

Kate-the-Great looking majestic. Really, she’s a Kate-the-Great looking majestic. Really, she’s after a fly, but it’s too cute not to take a photo of. #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #dog #dogsofinstagram #ratterrier #missoula #missoulamontana #montanalife

Sometimes being an anthropologists is weird. Also, Sometimes being an anthropologists is weird. Also, I’m pretty sure no one has any idea what my day to day involves 😂 Like today, for my human evolution class, I invited those who were comfortable attending in person to join me on campus for a flintknapping and atlatl throwing event I throw every year. I have met only a couple of these students in person this year, mostly due to happenstance, and it was odd to be in the same physical space when mainly I’ve been teaching to their names in little boxes on zoom. It was fun though, and a good way to enter the last week of the semester! I can’t wait to be back in a regular classroom in the fall. And if anyone cares to know, I utterly suck at the atlatl 🤪 #professor #professorlife #academia #anthropology #reallife #atlatl #flintknapping #skills #pandemiclife
