This past week I took some time off, far away from the lab. The experience was delightful and refreshing, and also gave me some much needed time to clear my head.
Today I landed back into the lab, in the midst of a hubbub of activity. People here are firing on all cylinders. Some are working on a big paper submission deadline that is now only a week away. Others are working together on a very big project that we will be showing at a major conference more than six months from now.
I have to say, I am enjoying every moment of it. It’s exactly this sort of crazy headlong creative rush of nonstop energy that makes me glad I live in New York.
Also, happy birthday Elvis!
