I like to think that you enjoy living dangerously to the extent that there are one or two deeply entertaining pictures, and this truly is random. Roll the dice, good sir

Only a psycho physicist would help build the sorts of Serious Apparatus a psychophysicist wants. Source: I know the physicist who helped Weisel and Hubel build their Serious Apparatus. (Trigger warning: if you like cats, don’t look this up.)

Honestly, unsure. It depends on whether I can make it out. Many questions between now and then, which hopefully will be answered on the soon side.

This is a wonderful idea. I will have to find some appropriately large snakes for the coming defenses in my life.

Subject: Thesis defense issue Hi, Linda- I just realized that I never got an email about the snake for my defense (coming up next week). Do you know anything about how the snake gets assigned? Thanks- Robin archiveofourown.org/works/28299630 @benwolfevision.bsky.social @ankosov.bsky.social
