Life of a systematist, nomad, and double Ph.D (or a look into the mind of someone who is questionably sane).

Fact: Cats were actually predicted to be susceptible to COVID-19, as are pigs and ferrets, based on the binding sites in a receptor (https://jvi.asm.org/content/94/7/e00127-20).  Sciences is so cool.  Interstingly, pigs and ferrets are also susceptible to influenzas.  Infact Black-footed Ferret management includes a bunch of protocals for making sure the ferrets don't pick up influenza from researchers/workers.

Food: grilled cheese, ice cream for dessert (my magic shell arrived!)

Woke up to discover my lecture from last night still wasnt done being converted to mp4.  Father also tried it on his computer but it was still taking forever.  thats when we discoverd the transition on one slide was 2 hrs instead of 2 minutes, but we don't know why since the transition in the slide was correct.  Recorded it the old fashioned way, although when it was all said and done we ended up using the ppt covered by powerpoint.  The only other exciting part of the day is i have decided to take up jump roping.  Since it was sprinkling off and on we couldn't take our walk but i wanted something to burn some energy. My longest jumping streak was 28 jumps, then i had 2 that were in the 10-15 range, and a lot in the 3-8 range, and about 50% in the 1-2 range.  then father and i watched Rocky train since father used to be able to jump rope 1 footed.  I'm using his old jump rope which is older than i am.  Robin had a bird pictionary game on facebook so i posted my social distancing flycatchers to everyone's amusement.  In tonights game CC got his 3k strike out but we will lost.  After that i did the first pass recording of my lecture so father can transcribe it in the morning.  Also, i can't figure out why excels random times are always so close together.
