Sentient AI’s, animal architecture, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#24)
Back after a wonderful (but short) break. The RHCP delivered (it was my favourite concert from them so far), and food was as amazing as usual. Paris is basically on fire right now (35 ºC while I am writing this, and seems like tomorrow we might reach 40 ºC), so I have just the amount…

Covid-29?, farewell to Ravenholm, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#18)
Busy week in the lab, running experiments that worked quite well (cool!). Temperatures on the rise, and not a lot of rain in sight (cool cool!!). Finished The Rhythm of War, a book that destroyed me, just to re-build me from the pieces left (cool cool cool!!!). Anyway, let’s share some reads for the weekend:…

Old man Kirby, Twitter might be doomed, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#17)
Back in Paris, where temperatures are nice but blue skies are some kind of mythological animal, it seems. Anyway, at least I did not have a lot of trouble with the allergies and the dirty air this time. Quite packed week at work (and it will probably get worse in the coming months), but still…
