The Look Up: Of the Earth

I wrote a blog post for work about research in real life. It's always fun to show students how research goes beyond finding articles for their papers.

Here is what I found myself looking up this week.

• Atlas Obscura Podcast - Not that I need to add another title to my "to listen to" list, but I saw that Atlas Obscura had a podcast. I wanted to know how many episodes there were and what topics it discussed. I ended up adding it to my list.
• Watering Air Plants - I now have a gorgeous quartz crystal air plant holder that is going to double as a bookend on my WFH desk. This is my first air plant and I wanted to learn how to not kill it.
• Hanging Indent Word - Formatting a works cited page. It's been awhile and I completely forgot how to do a hanging indent.
• Geology v. Earth Science - We were watching one of those shows where experts are talking heads and one was tagged as an "Earth Scientist." Needed to verify the difference.
• Japanese Maple - I was writing up a caption for an Instagram post and I knew the tree I was showing was a Japanese Maple but I didn't know which kind. Image search helped me uncover that it was a red dragon.
• Cheugy - I keep seeing this word and didn't know what it meant. Explainer. Also, I am of the age where I do not know slang now.
