Wow, my thesis defense was 7 years ago today!
It still cracks me up that my actual thesis won't be available for download until 2117. My PI wanted me to embargo it until my last grad school paper was out, and in an act of rebellion, I embargoed it for 100 years! 🤷♂️

Caught the Amtrak into NYC this morning for a meeting and now on my way back to Boston. On the plus side, 3.5 hours each way of productivity. A writing retreat on wheels! 😅🙌🏻

But don't worry, the two blisters I got this morning from walking 30 NYC blocks to the train station to the office with new dress shoes is keeping me humble.

Bittersweet day back at MIT saying goodbye to my team members who are moving on to new adventures of their own! So lucky to have had them on my corner these past few years! 🙏
Our silly picture turned out with only me embarrassing myself but what's new.
