On this day, of all days, make sure to check in on your gullible friends. It can be a difficult time of year for us. I’m personally grieving that my old school friend isn’t actually getting married next month. I really hoped him and that lady he met on holiday would go the distance :(

Econ PhD students and Postdocs!!! Make sure you submit your papers to the QMUL workshop - the deadline to submit is next Friday. We’ve got some great keynotes! :) And don’t believe the rumours about London weather in May. I hear it’ll be glorious and sunny.

Marking exams, and I’m kinda dismayed at how many times I’ve read “firms are maximising profits, therefore social welfare is maximised” :/ Guess I really need to channel Marx* harder in my IO lectures next year…

Please enjoy this happy little mole on a discarded scrap of paper my mother-in-law doodled. She is very talented.

Someone sent me a great article combining two things I spent a disproportionate amount of time doing - Chopping onions, and Multivariate Calculus: medium.com/@drspoulsen/... About how to cut onions to ensure all the pieces are as close to uniform size as possible. I love this stuff

A solution to the Onion Problem of J. Kenji López-Alt
Kenji López-Alt posed a mathematical problem on his YouTube channel about how to best cut an onion. I present a detailed solution.

Spare a thought for the poor souls that dropped this. I can only imagine their pain :(
