I picked up juggling already during my undergrad. Came in handy during labwork whilst finishing the PhD. Strongly recommend it, both as a destressing technique and for the future career prospects.

Jag blev intresserad av en bok. (Springer förlag) Den kostade 1740 kronor (180 sidor) Jag beklagade mig hos författaren. Han: De är ju för fan kriminella! Här får du en pdf gratis istället. 🥳

Quarto does have support for LaTeX as well if you write a lot of formulas. I find visuals and figures to be easier in quarto in Rstudio, but i am also very biased towards R.

Mattias Vesterlund @mttvst.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
If you are used to Rmd then quarto is not much of a stretch. R-studio has native support for it (and also works well with zotero) As a collaborative tool, yeah some sort of git-remote or similar (e.g. GitHub) is likely needed. Overleaf/LaTeX is also nice and works well with zotero.

Mattias Vesterlund @mttvst.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
I like quarto! Overall it's pretty versatile and if you are used to things like markdown it's not too complicated. Being able to easily mix text and code with references and good formatting is a perk.

Before LLMs, the “multiverse” was studied through many-analyst projects: dozens of teams analyzing the same data and hypothesis, often reaching conflicting conclusions. But these studies required huge coordination and sampled only tiny slices. LLMs can now explore this space cheaply and at scale.

Put pressure on publishers to follow best practice — external regulation is the answer
