Been busy academic article writing and publishing.
1. got a paper published (more later), after a bit of a struggle, but very worth it.
2. after 3 month wait heard about a draft paper submission to a new local journal initiative that had decided they werent doing journal after all and sorry we didnt tell you. (disappointing!).
3. got a citation from what looks like a GenAI created paper.

1 out of 3 aint bad.
