See notes after check-in meeting with Steven.

Chapter 1

Got reviewer and editor comments back. Will respond to them tomorrow and send around to coauthors to get their thuoghts.

Due back to journal by Aug. 25th but I’d like to get it out as soon as everyone feels it’s ready to go.

Chapter 2 – MultiSpecies

1. Make PCAs of gene expression within each species.
2. Start writing results of the current enrichment. Keep it simple to start –> what’s similar, what’s different, what do these processes mean.

Chapter 4 – FHL Eelgrass, V. pec, Mussel Expt

Continue DNA extractions (eelgrass swabs and mussel tissue) and qPCR.

Crab paper

The paper got sent back again, so I’m going to transfer it to one of their recommended journals: Wiley Environmental Microbiology.

Milestones

Written Quals Q3 Re-Do is August 28th.

Then, I’ll need to finalize the PhD proposal. I can schedule the generals whenever, but I want to make sure I have enough time to go over everyone’s qualifying exam assessments of my responses and finish my PhD proposal.
