Having the craziest weeks writing fellowships, doing experiments, and preparing for my first presentation in my new lab. I’m afraid what’s gonna look like the next day.

TFW you submit a big grant and now have to remember what used to fill your days at work.

Pere, sé que fa 15 anys m’hauries dit que t’hi pots trobar una cosa molt específica.

someone bought david lynch's home and renovated it

Two photos. The first shows the outside of David Lynch's home. It's gray with strong geometric lines. The other photos shows what appears to be a living room with a fireplace and built-in seating.

Two photos of David Lynch's workshop. The first has windows facing the outside. The other has a bunch of woodworking and art stuff.

Two photos. Both show big open gray rooms.

Pedro, the street dog who spent his whole life surviving by himself is now ready to start his next chapter…

After being with us at the Land for nearly one year, he’s officially looking for his forever home in Thailand!

It’s funny how horchata in Spain is a completely different thing. It is a traditional drink from Valencia done with tiger nut and it is absolutely delicious.

In the minority here, but I think it would be refreshing and I'd appreciate reading a piece like "On the value of reductionist science".
