It’s spring at last, even in Toronto…
… Yorkville is not too crowded on a weekday afternoon, but weekends are a different story…
… and if you’re at the right place on Bloor Street at the right time, you might see Aimee Mann playing a live show for free.
It’s been a good semester. I have enjoyed the conferences and other organized activities (that’s where you learn things and get ideas), but also the quiet periods in between (that’s when you actually get the work done). It’s pretty quiet right now, and I have nothing else left to organize, so that I can actually focus on research.
There will likely be a separate post on thematic programs and on the joys of organizing one. Right now I’ll just say that this has been great for my own research program. When you’re isolated - as I was for several years - it’s hard to keep up with what everyone else is doing, and perhaps even harder to stay motivated. Now I’m enjoying mathematics more than I have in years.
