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.

Congratulations Ross!
ReplyDeleteI think your blog has provided encouragement and food for thought for many readers over the years.
I started reading your blog when I was an undergrad, now, after finishing my PhD, I still very much enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
In our world filled with tweets and instant messaging, it's quite refreshing to have meaty, relevant, balanced, current blog posts. Thanks Ross!
ReplyDeleteAS a regular reader and someone who enjoys a condensed matter perspective on topics that interest me, here's to many more years.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your blog. Being a junior researcher I always look up to your blog. It always gives me the inspiration to do physics for the sake of physics.
ReplyDeleteYour blog shows that you have coupled teaching and research together, a rarity in the age of publication boom. Wish you good luck , good health for more years.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHere's to five more years, and beyond!
Great contribution to our community. Thank you Ross.
