I would like to improve distraction management and learn to keep a more focused conversation. Constructive Communication is important at work and at home because it Strengthens Relationships, Prevents Conflicts and Misunderstandings, Improves Mental and Emotional
Well-being, Enhances Productivity, & Encourages Personal Growth

My plan is to just keep going. If you never start or you give up, you will never achieve anything. Things that have helped me in the past were making reminders, to do lists, and keeping a timeline

It can be scary or make me anxious at times, depending on the environment. If your ideas do not feel welcomed and the space is not inviting it can be a scary situation because you might get shot down or feel unheard. Getting ideas from employees in different functional areas harnesses the collective intelligence and creativity of the workforce, driving innovation, solving problems, increasing engagement, promoting continuous improvement, and fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.

In Colorado I drove to the closest RTD station, took light rail to the closest station to my work. Here, I mostly choose to carpool due to my neighborhood and not quite as many transportation resources, part of that being convenience but ---having to maintain a tighter schedule does not allow me as much freedom with trying to make the bus when it is not as regularly available in close proximity

Buddleia davidii also known as Butterflu Bush. Nature gives us what we need. Nature Protects us. Nature keeps things flowing. Nature has psychological benefits and nourshes our spirit. Nature could solve future problems in medical advances, etc

Nebraska's economy heavily relies on agriculture, where practices like crop cultivation and livestock production generate air pollutants such as dust, particulate matter, and ammonia. These emissions from agricultural activities contribute to poor air quality, particularly affecting rural communities with heightened exposure to agricultural emissions, thus exacerbating respiratory conditions. Furthermore, although Nebraska's industrial sector may not be as extensive as in some other states, emissions from manufacturing facilities, power plants, and other industrial sources still pose a significant concern. Pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds released from industrial activities can have adverse effects on respiratory health, particularly impacting nearby communities.
Climate change may increase pollen concentrations and extend pollen seasons, heightening health effects for more people. Pollen exposure can trigger various allergic reactions, including symptoms of hay fever. Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, happens when allergens like pollen enter your body and your immune system wrongly sees them as threats. If you have allergic rhinitis, your body then responds to the allergen by releasing chemicals that can cause symptoms in the nose.

Reduce Laboratory Plastics Waste
Single-use lab consumables are commonly made from plastics by necessity, as they are lightweight, mostly inert and extremely stable. Unfortunately, plastic decomposes slowly, if at all. Local recycling is the most responsible way of disposing of the copious amounts of plastic generated in the lab since it reduces the need to generate virgin plastic from petrolium. Small things, such as using refillable tip boxes, can help reduce the amount of plastic used. Items such as empty media bottles can also be recycled. Nucleic acid purification, in particular, is notorious for generating large amounts of plastic waste in the laboratory. Similarly, common sterile cell culture techniques result in large volumes of plastic waste. Recycling of plastics associated with these techniques may be available near you but be sure to investigate Biosafety Level (BSL) restrictions for their applications. With any biological protocol, look for opportunities to miniaturize reaction volumes and or reduce the number of plastic consumables involved. Consider if single-use plastic can be replaced with glassware or processed for reuse to reduce the overall associated carbon footprint.

Proper segregation of medical waste, waste minimization, recycling, proper disposal, staff training, and exploring new and progressive technology and processes

My Keurig, it kept shutting off before it did anything. I used Google to try to figure out what was wrong and then used YouTube to find a tutorial on how to actually fix the problem and it is working again
