Running helps me to keep mentally healthy. Went out for a 15km run this morning in Lynn Valley. So grateful for this land.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) image of Au(111), taken for calibration and tip preparation purposes. The herringbone reconstruction is clear, alongside some step-edge features. A classic surface for precision tuning. #quantum #science #UBC

Anyone, please?
You (probably) don't know me, but I like to read. In 2018, I read only books recommended to me by others - and I read everything recommended! Will you recommend a book? Please tell me why I should read it in a single sentence. (Provided I can find a copy, I will read it.)

I rode my e-bike "the usual" 27km to work this morning. I’ve stopped keeping track, but I believe I’ve commuted over 40,000km this way since 2018. 🚴‍♂️🌿

Engaging in this light-to-moderate exercise helps protect me from chronic illnesses and cognitive decline.

Bike more, live happier and longer.

I’ve been a silent observer in that other place. I’m eager to listen, learn, and (maybe?) contribute here. So far, the community seems pretty cool.
