Ten years of blogging!

I just realised that last month I had been blogging for ten years.
On the five year anniversary, I reflected on the influence that the blog has had on me.
I don't have much to add to those reflections. The second five years has not been as prolific but has been just as enriching and I am grateful for all the positive feedback and encouragement I have received from readers.

  7. I always keep coming back to your blog, it is so wonderfully balanced! Took away lots of advise on academia, learned a lot about your insights in condensed matter physics and physical chemistry. Sometimes wish I had more time to study your paper discussions.

    Here's to five more years, and beyond!
