Why it took me so long?
- I don't love writing:
- Procrastination
Future Plans:
- Submit to Journal by end of Summer?
- ESO proposal Sept, 2024

Why I haven't done it?
- Very bad at multi-tasking
When I hope to do it:
- Have all the figures by Summer ?
MARES: Magnetic Remnants in Symbiotics
To do: Resubmit TESS proposal
New to Do:
- Data Analysis
- Gaussian process
Why I haven't done it?
- Other projects more intersting right now
- Bad at multi-tasking
When I hope to do it:
- I don't know
- I would love to learn about Gaussian Process for this project and others.
What is the percentage of magnetic WDs in Symbiotics? (Merc et al. 2023, Belloni et al. 2024)
