Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Bluesky: Revising my PhD thesis, 41 years later.

Just before the holidays, I discovered a paper I had missed (from 25 years ago) that showed that a major interpretation from my dissertation was wrong. I now have things sorted and the results are quite interesting, maybe better than the original.
