Christmas came before Halloween!

This fellowship changed the trajectory of my career and my time on its committees is the most worthwhile professional service I have ever done. Please apply and help us spread the word

I hadn't realized Daniel Kahneman had dedicated his final years to cooking.

This is very interesting to me from a differences-between-disciplines point of view. I can't imagine these numbers (either the y-axis or the # of data points) in language or historical fields. And I would have guessed (wrongly) that she is a hard scientist.

I generally don't either, and certainly no one owes that labor, but I will confess that I've benefited from following social media discussions of topics that are not precisely in my areas of research and with whose protagonists I'll likely never have an occasion for that coffee.

Do it, Carlos. You know she's right.

Pre-photographic-slide era cast collection, it looks like.

And a fine choice it was!
