5 accomplishments in a week? We’d be happy if you had 3 accomplishments in the past academic year. Especially if you could explain them as a set of bullet points rather than a 10-page single spaced explanation for why nothing got done this past year.

Some opinion articles, including a recent one in The Conversation, repeat the trope that the vast majority of nonnative species "pose no danger at all to native ecosystems" & should be ignored by managers. We addressed this misinformation over a decade ago:redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricc…
