KorinnaAllhoff, German Recently, my team started growing, so all of a sudden it makes sense to organise regular team meetings, just like a grown-up PI. Our most recent meeting took place today and I felt so proud. What a nice bunch of people. And so many interesting research projects! 🤩
How did this happen?
vicgrinberg, Met a social media friend for the first time and found a cafe with perfect lemon poppy seed cake 💚

vicgrinberg, #HappyThings today:

- petting a cat
- the ability to throw money at certain small problems
- my black and gold toenail polish
dmbaturin, @vicgrinberg I'm quite interested in point number 1... was it planned to span three years? Were sessions frequent? How did it end?
I didn't meet neighbor's cat today so I had no chance to pet anyone.
vicgrinberg, @dmbaturin it was a mix of a somewhat ambitious campaign mixed with extremely limited availability of folks, I think we played once every two months recently. I would not recommend this approach (and we now think that the next take will be strictly episodic), but I'm glad we played it to the end!
vicgrinberg,
- found pretty nail polishes in a "give away" box in the neighbourhood
- want jogging
- my packages arrived and the things fit!
- dinner with a friend, chat with another friend
- still a good hair day
- bought my favorite ajvar to bring to the NL!
vicgrinberg,
- talking to my friend J. from Boston
- yummy curry for dinner
- folks at work productively working on finding solutions
- a good hairwash day!
_thegeoff, @vicgrinberg I only got through one pair of trousers at work today! (Yesterday was an aberration anyway, liquid yeast agar all down them just before lunch...)
#HappyThings
vicgrinberg, @_thegeoff awww, you made me laugh 😁 (I hope you did have some extra clothes at work; I usually have in my office because Dutch rain 😅)
