At least you timed your Fulbright well.

Marta Filipová @mfilipova.bsky.social · Mar 25

Dear Dr. M. Filipová, I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the pleasure of reading your article titled "M. Filipová; Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic; email: xxx@xxx" and was highly impressed by the depth and quality of your research.

Yes, that is one of my best articles.
