Having a cat while working:

My partner in a meeting: *Intense technical IT conversation ongoing* We have to—

Cat: *Races in, drifts, bounces onto desk* MRREEOOOWOOWOWOEEW!

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

I only truly understood how far behind robot manipulation was when I watched my ~1 year old peel a hard boiled egg.

I felt so stupid when I thought I had finished the analysis and realized that I had done something wrong in the first steps and needed to restart... The good point is that I understand my students better... #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky
