… check out my new one: The other day I happened upon this Flickr photo, which lead me to this site and this toolkit for making my own Ph.D. in Horribleness. You know that you are incredibly, incredibly jealous of my achievements in the field of horribleness. Incredibly. →Read more
Sarah wrote a piece on her blog about the expanding world in which she lives, starting with her earliest memories in which the street she lived on was her entire universe to being a world traveller with friends all over the globe. Although I’m not nearly as travelled as Sarah is1, I thought I’d give […] →Read more
In that last 7 days, 3 of my friends successfully defended their PhDs! Coincidentally, I know all three of them through my involvement in science outreach, meaning that not only are they brilliant in their respective fields of study1, but they are also super awesome people who volunteer their time to bring the fun of […] →Read more

So I’m back now from my trip to F-ton. And I didn’t even blog the whole time I was there! I must have been having fun or something. I was there for a teaching & learning conference at the University of New Brunswick, where I gave a presentation & a poster on my work from […] →Read more
Tomorrow, I shall add one more province to my list of provinces I’ve visited, bringing the total to 8 out of 10 (and 9 out of 13 provinces + territories). For tonight, I leave for Fredericton, NB! Being that New Brunswick is on the other side of the country and is 4 time zones ahead […] →Read more
