Reasons to be cheerful!

[Tank]

this is what i was rying to do anywa

Oh soo cute!

Me and some people from other labs are thinking about putting together a science communication project for the public. I've arranged an online meeting between us and my supervisor, who has been doing that sort of thing for a long time and knows the ins and outs way better than we do.

I really hope this project goes forward, and will do everything I can to make it so. I love that sort of stuff

We put a group together and even though one isn't really pulling his weight we've made some progress. After 3 days of trying to choose a name for our social media channels we're deciding whether to open the choice to the public.  We would make a competition of it, using consolidated social media channels associated with the other neuroscience students' initiatives to reap submissions.

Ok so the 'name competition' didn't work out, but now we're seeing if we can turn ours into a university extension project, which will make it a student initiative and, if it doesn't fall through it will be passed on to future "generations" of neuroscience grad students.

We've been writing a letter to send to one of the professors responsible for the other extension project, namely a yearly neuroscience course for undergrads. It took us about a week to get one page done.

But it's happening! I don't know if the professor can help us in that regard but it's happening!

If it works out, we probably won't have to choose a name.

So, the letter sort of came to a standstill. For now.

One person took issue with our choice of adding a few quotes on how education is a powerful tool to change the world (Nelson Mandela's "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." and Malala's similar "One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.")

He went on a rant on how he just can't sign a letter in good conscious with quotes he doesn't agree with and wrote long messages which were basically mental masturbation.



Ugh, frustrating!

The letter has finally been sent!

It is so easy to make me cheerful: they've allowed my really excellent local art supply shop to reopen!

When I went to get some much-needed paint, they had someone at the door to fire an IR beam at my forehead. After confirming that I wasn't an evil alien, they let me in. Oh, and on top of that, one was required to wear a mask and fill in a register to supply name, address, email address, and phone number. Despite the rigmarole, it did make me feel a bit safer.

That is tracing Hermes as I am sure that you know.  Your people are a damned site better at fighting back at the virus than mine.

Lovely weather here today. Dogs will be worn out!

Any day I wake up on this side of the dirt is a good one.

Reasons I'm cheerful are:

• I've got a good caregiver.
• A morning cup of coffee.
• Online comic books.
• Food entering my stomach 24 hours per day.
• Medication.
• Friends and family.
• Having a cheerful disposition.
• Having a good sense of humor enough to laugh at those who try to make one angry.

Any day I wake up on this side of the dirt is a good one.

...

You'll be really pissed off if you wake up on the other side of the dirt!

If that happens I had better be a zombie!

It's good to be back!

(I hope I still know how to speak English, heh. If I don't, please bear with me. Sometimes languages interact in unpredictable ways in my head.  )

I remember you saying you were going somewhere, but I don't recall where...not that it is any of my business. ¡Welcome back!

Thanks! I had to cast myself into the dark abyss known as 'The Real World' for a while.

(It's good to see I haven't lost my flair for the dramatic.  )
