@SvenG One of my friends who researches Github (at CMU) defended his dissertation yesterday and I attended virtually. The profs thought I had good questions!

It’s funny how much of a formality the defense was though. The prof who hired my friend for postdoc is coauthor on a paper in 2/3 of the chapters in his dissertation

I love the impact coaching has had on you. You just seem so much more relaxed and comfortable - like you’re able to enjoy your workouts now, whereas before you were always at war with yourself.

Yes! It’s good to be sure that what I’m doing is right instead of always second guessing

Random tidbits

  1. Presented in lab yesterday and it went really well. First real research presentation too! Idk how I pulled this off considering that my advisor completely restructured the presentation Monday afternoon and collaborator, who stated giving feedback tuesday afternoon, wanted some pretty non-trivial changes. Also had a class yesterday morning the morning of so I had maybe 4 hours total practice time. I did a lot of improvisation, but didn’t stutter and was able to field their questions. Advisor also supported me, which apparently doesn’t happen in other fields

  2. had a fking amazing birthday cheat meal: If you give me a salmon head…

  • miso roast salmon collar, omg I was so happy with the taste, but I was an idiot and put it skin side down and forgot to grease the foil… so pissed at myself for that.
  • air fried the head portion, just salt
  • took the meat from the head and made tartare with ponzu, pickled jalepeno and liquid smoke

Dessert was a pint of halotop + 4 lilly’s pb cups :joy:
total for the day: 2700
