These days after Thanksgiving are turning out to be real shitty…

Reflections on the Past Week: 8/27/17

Not much to say about this week; mostly work and exhaustion. After the events of Columbus, Lafayette, and ComSciCon-Chicago, I needed 2 days to completely recuperate. And by that, I mean going to bed earlier from being so tired (Wait, you thought I meant actually recuperate? As in take the days off? Please. What do… Continue reading Reflections on the Past Week: 8/27/17

Reflections on the Past Summer

It maintains special resonance as the march will be tomorrow, Earth Day,… Continue reading Why I Won’t Be Marching for Science

The study is a mathematical analysis with large-scale biological implications. As we are writing it up, I am torn with a decision that happens at least… Continue reading On Choosing a Format

Reflections on the Past Week: 03/26/2017

I hate being sick. I’ve been sick for the past week and half and it hasn’t been a pleasant experience. Lots of coughing, midly itchy throat, tiredness, and stuffiness. At they all sort of staggered (expect for the tiredness which was always on). So as soon as I thought I was over one symptom, another… Continue reading Reflections on the Past Week: 03/26/2017

I don’t know what to write about this week. I don’t feel like writing this week.
