Yeah I acknowledge it's good for long complicated docs and stuff with lots of maths and/or cross-references. Otherwise, it's a terrible idea.

There's a snarky comment to be made about this being a satire on the nature of most lab automation work (including my own), but it feels like a cheap shot.

We had a symposium organised by Tom Russell and Masao Doi which ran at the same time as yours, I think. Though I will admit my memory is hazy, due (indirectly) to me being 29, unemployed, and "definitely done with academia" at the time.

Fun possible fact - last time I made this trip was to Beijing University of Chemical Technology in Summer 2018 to give a talk on Structured Liquids. I'm like 60% sure some bloke called @aicooper.bsky.social was giving a completely unrelated talk with an identical title in the seminar room next door.
