Farewell to my trusty steed (who was apparently liberated by a stranger on Front Street last night)! I bought her at a Halfords during my postdoc in the UK 20 years ago and we spent so much time together (especially during the pandemic) in and around Toronto #biketo

I read it during an undergrad summer, possibly the last period I had the time (and patience) to finish it!

I'm really noticing how it's getting harder to be relatable to undergrads. My first year teaching I remember saying "10 years ago, I was sitting where you are now" and this semester I had to go with "I've been a professor as long as you've been alive" (insert out-of-touch Simpsons reference)

Is there anything more Canadian than cutting down a pine tree that your flag got tangled up in?

A tactical blunder putting off my cottage holiday until so late that overnight lows are in the single (°C) digits, but the views are still great and I might work up the courage to swim...

I suspect that spending a week in hospital this spring after rupturing my appendix made Small Rain by @garthgreenwell.bsky.social especially meaningful to me, but the descriptions of home renovation trauma and joy, the beauty of trees, and the close readings of poetry resonated too - such a pleasure

I don't think so honey: reporting sampling efficiencies/recoveries/biases in the methods section but then NOT actually saying if the results have been corrected based on these values. Happens so often and drives me up the wall
