When my mom and sister were visiting, I said “I *never* run into people I know”, which I always find surprising because I feel like I know a lot of people ((I have friends and acquaintances from 6 years of PhD school – including tonnes of people I met through the science outreach that I did – […] →Read more
A little while ago I got the idea that it would be fun to get some friends together to do a Paint Nite. For the uninitiated, Paint Nite ((As per usual with blog postings where I talk about companies, I have no affiliation with Paint Nite. I paid for the event like everyone else, so […] →Read more
