Currently my plan is to be finished writing by May and probably do my defense sometime during the summer. Recently I had a meeting with my committee about my now previous topic. Suffice to say, things didn't go well. Its not that it wouldn't work, its that it would take way too much time and would require me visiting another lab somewhere, possibly Cal Tech. Anyway, so I've decided to fall back on my previous research for my thesis which involves a combination of carbon, oxygen and strontium isotope analysis of middle Miocene(~15 mya) fossils.<br />I'll post my thesis proposal once I have it finished...<br />Title: <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-style: italic;">Isotopic paleoecological analysis of mammalian mega fauna of Fort Polk, La</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5901852201183507163-2106864452765612844?l=tatwood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Travis Lamar Atwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314140611311536426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901852201183507163.post-80594628655572828332008-12-05T12:07:00.000-08:002008-12-05T12:08:36.121-08:00So I figured I create a professional blog about myself and what's going on with my life. I'll try to keep things on here paleo/academic related. Ie, no BS.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5901852201183507163-8059462865557282833?l=tatwood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Travis Lamar Atwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314140611311536426noreply@blogger.com0
