Emailing academics about their work

I remember a couple years back me and a friend had a question about bees, so we emailed an entomologist at a small university. He was so happy to talk about it! I once emailed a professor about a hard to find book she wrote, and she sent me a copy :) Talk to people!!!

DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK THE QUESTIONS YOU WANT THE ANSWERS TO:

Sweetest email I have ever received, after I plucked up enough courage to ask my professor what his favourite books are in person, he later sent me this message, kindness does persist ☹️💐

Noticing a dialogue between two recs on pi

One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another. Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia. It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.

DON'T GO TO SLEEP WITH DISHES IN THE SINK

I know there are days when you are so tired, or maybe you made a big meal for friends and family or you spent the afternoon meal prepping and now you have to clean like five pots and a tray, but be brave!!! (my inner monologue) Don't force your future self to wake up to a bunch of dirty dishes. It will keep your mind full because you will be constantly reminding yourself to clean that up.
