This week I’m taking a course in population biology from Dr. Robin Snyder. She’s a pretty fantastic teacher. I only looked at the clock 4 times in 6 hours today. You should notice she’s wearing two hats in this picture. The first hat goes on when she starts a digression. The second hat is for digressions from digressions.

UPDATE*****

So usually digressions are not a good thing and some of you have brought it to my attention that I’ve complained about teachers that go on a million different tangents.  First of all, Dr. Snyder did not go on a million tangents.  Secondly, her digressions are very useful.  They’re like “let’s make sure we all remember how to do this math” or “what does this result actually mean” rather than “this one time I went fishing and that’s how I understand integrals” or “my not especially important research is kind of sort of related to this topic.”
