#DHL and #AnPost seem to have lost my workstation. Sent it from Munich to Ireland. AnPost says they are returning it because label had an issue. DHL thinks it’s still in Germany. If it’s returned to Germany I can’t get it shipped back because I don’t live in Germany anymore.

We cannot change our past, but we can look critically at our present and work to shape a better future.

When we as the broader society fund sciences, we don’t put all our eggs in one basket. We fund as wide as we can, with some areas a little more or less.

We don’t know what the future holds, and thus we try to explore as much as possible.

The responsible approach is to plan in decades. 1/N

I feel blessed this Christmas to live in an era when #wikipedia is a thing.

Wikipedia has helped me during grad school (math) more than anything else.

It stands as a bastion of knowledge, a modern library of Alexandria in an era of disinformation, propaganda and revisionism.

It’s important to actually explain why they’re wrong, and let people go read the policies for themselves.

The money goes to supporting small wiki groups in under-covered areas. EU & NA has most contributors, but that leads to poor coverage in other areas.
