A few years ago, a famous, tenured faculty at Harvard sent me a reply to his recruiting negotiations with Columbia. He actually moved there later!!
fucked up today in a tremendous way. not a huge error, but someone asked me to remove something before sending it on and i just entirely forgot to. it's like the instruction just evaporated from my mind after i read it. i have no idea how to explain this. it's sorted, but my god. so annoying

I have been one of the many people across the world impacted by the sudden death of Peer Bork - a friend, colleague and remarkable scientist. I now have enough time this weekend to write some personal thoughts about Peer. www.linkedin.com/posts/ewan-b...
