It was quite interesting – did wonder though what ecologists would have to say about it.

My favorite presentation of the day though was by @ambra-prg.bsky.social on meta-analyses ... still thinking about her question of how big the problem should be for it to be a problem ...

Also reading this right now, so hopefully this will turn out to be such a book!

Reading this 2013 book – not much new at this point anymore – really makes me wonder which books I should be reading now rather than 10+ years from now ...

Checked for accuracy: 💯 😎

Uit hetzelfde boek. Ik moest daar de voorbije maanden al vaak aan denken.

And funny for entitely different reasons, wine tastings to avoid faculty meetings.

How the first few months of my sabbatical have been?
Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, they say. :-)

Right that was the context. This from the paper I linked is brutal in putting the tacit knowlegde defense aside. Personal anecdote: I once took a genetics course, knew everything perfectly well in theory, but never was able to do any of the lab work in any decent way (very different world).

One of the best things about a sabbatical is just that bit more extra time to read things you otherwise would't, including things you see people randomly discuss in a conversation about who knows what. So, thanks @devezer.bsky.social for the ht because I really enjoyed reading this one!
