I can't (yes I can) believe I am sending out another email to archaeologists asking them to do a few more Skype a Scientist sessions for LEGO league. But here we are. Putting our scientific network to the test. Really learning the limits here this semester, whew.

Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time

Caught 10 minutes of the #opera Grounded. This is legitimately the worst theater I have ever watched. The composer Jeanine Tesori wrote Shrek the Musical and that is 1000x time better artistically (no joke).

Fun side project: So my wife and I are avid experimental cooks (Caitlin made pasta with raisins and blue cheese this week). Great for interesting dinners, horrible for reproducibility. I started a #quarto website to track our dinners. Dedicating some good recipes to its own blog post.

like 98% of Koreans, I have the gene that makes me unable to produce the standard armpit BO. having to buy my white wife a new deodorant gave me a headache from the decision fatigue - why are there so many kinds? oh my god

Hey, #databs and #rstats - would you forgive me using these hashtags to ask for help finding a new area to live? My husband and I need an affordable farm-ish to move to in the #NewEngland area! Where do you love to live?! We need >= 1 acre + access to medical, & can't afford to live near the coast

I'm not one for emoti(c)on-filled LinkedIn blurbs, but I still wanted to share some news about how the first year of my PhD went. So here's an accidentally-essay-length recap instead: tinarozsos.github.io/news/251014_...

East European grocery store near us has a deli. i think my favorite thing in the world is “herring under a fur coat” (left)- a layered salad with apples, potato’s, pickled herring, carrot, and beet. I adore it like crazy

Made Pad Thai with my wife and the mystical wok I found on the street! As a couple who think following recipes are for dorks, we actually followed this to the letter. And that's super critical, do not vibe-cook your way on this one.

One side-effect of my brief twitch career is that I'm a bllionty times more comfortable pair programming through problems at work - I've been trained to have zero shame of looking stupid or making code mistakes, so we get so much more done when working through bugs or brainstorms as a result
