I am amazed how well these 3D-printed PETG parts have survived all these years in the elements. They're gunked up, but still flexible and strong as ever.

These were part of the sensor network I build during my #PhD, which I tore down today. End of an era for me. A good one.

In an evil intersection between #PhDLife and #ToddlerParent life, Iโ€™m currently trying to draft a manuscript while having a song called Bum, with the lyrics โ€œI have a bum, bum bum bum bum bum buuumโ€ stuck in my brain.

What is also sad, is I anticipated needing this extra time a few weeks back and requested vacation for it, which probably also led to some admitted #procrastination ๐Ÿ™€ ๐Ÿคฃ #phDLife

Ich hab gerade etwas wiedergefunden.

Im Verlauf meiner Doktorarbeit hab ich irgendwann einen eigenen Desktop-Hintergrund gebastelt, damit die Leute meine Forschung auch dann erkennen, wenn ich gerade nicht am Rechner sitze.

Ich muss gestehen, ich find ihn immer noch geil.

Lid down on PhD, I have clawed back the 3000 words I deleted early last week, but it took a week! Current word count : 33696 One last subchapter in Methodology to do: Stats! Day off tomorrow because its Sunday, I might go to the snow! #PhDLife
My plan this week was to finish a book from the library. Instead I spent it editing transcripts. Necessary but, wow thatโ€™s a slow process.

I find I am defining terms now, my field uses one term for a whole lot of things that should be separated, because they are SEPARATE! Looking at you ventilation and condensation #PhDLife
