Looking very much forward to our talk with Zsofia Vegvari about 'AI as researcher' at the hashtag#itbn cybersecurity conference today! (Still need to prepare a bit for it... Plus correct some grant application for my PhD student before I can go to sleep)

I should have bought a T-shirt with me to London for this FANtastic concert with text like: 'I am here only because of my daughter' (on a father) or rather 'I am here for my daughter, but also for Felix' (on a mother). Was a fantastic mother-daughter programme. SKZ and STAY forever!

Well, first, I am not convinced about the originality of the quote ;-), second, I am not sure I could solve differential equations, but I could for sure use this time for many other more important things.

It’s not the career difficulty itself that leads to regret — it’s how we respond to it. People who actively engage in "repair strategies" (reclaiming, enriching, mobilizing) are better equipped to move forward without lingering regret. See below: bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
