No, the drought isn't over yet. Despite some rain here in the Netherlands in recent weeks, the water flow in the Rhine is still in record low territory: around 600 m³/s, less than half of the normal flow in autumn. This keeps drawing groundwater away too.

I made a little book out of some old bits of internet I found down the back of the sofa:
Talking dogs.
Sarcastic cats.
Strange sports.
Bizarre rituals.
Dumb jokes.
Stupid advice.
Weird ideas.

Sometimes, you accidentally find something you once wrote and think "actually, that was pretty good advice, I should follow my own principles more".
So here's an old one from the blog about surviving and (maybe) thriving in #science and #research more generally

I just gave a presentation in my team about "What is a PhD and how to do it?" (4 current and 4 prospective PhD students) Could also have been called "Advice from an aging academic" 👵🏻
