Fascinating from @h_j_dobson & Kira Brayman, following on from @carenmilloy & @ChrisBanks in the plenary

TAs have helped with overall costs but can anyone argue that hybrid is more than an everlasting quagmire and a graveyard for Green?

Best city in North America and always in my heart ❤️

[kasey @kaseyklimes]

Spent the long weekend losing my mind over Montreal’s urban design.

It’s the best in North America by a wide margin.

Want to see some fantastic public spaces?

@tzijlstra @jillyb3 you were the friend, btw.

[Jan Sandink @JSandink]

@tzijlstra Recently happened upon a VERY old conversation in which I was organizing an outing with a friend. Both of us probably sitting at desktops replying to each other with a 1-sentence email every 1-2 minutes. Completely wild catching a glimpse of life pre-cellphone snd pre-whatsapp.

@FromPhDtoLife @harmonygritz Trailing spouse here and this whole thread makes me uncomfortable. In my humble yet experienced opinion, pursuing a PhD demands unreasonable sacrifice from individuals, especially individuals with any connections or obligations outside of academia, which I hope is everyone. (1/n)

[Jan Sandink @JSandink]

@FromPhDtoLife @harmonygritz Definitely supportive to remind a loved one of their worth.

[Jan Sandink @JSandink]

My university @unil implements new professional travel framework requiring travel by train rather than plane if trip is less than 10 hours. Well done 👏. Hope many others follow suit.

Seriously @lonelyplanet, let the locals holiday in peace, most are trying to escape the tourist hordes that have invaded their hometowns.

[Lonely Planet @lonelyplanet]

We've heard alllll about the tourist crowds in Italy during the high season.

Travel as the locals do and head to one of these underrated vacation spots instead.📍
