After 27 years, my path in academia is coming to an end. On July 1st I will be retiring from my Professorship at the University of Ottawa. What comes next? Plenty, but those are posts for later. A thread 🧵(1/8)

Yes! #CoffeeWithChris achievement unlocked! Was great to catch up Chris. Hope I can race you next year 😂

Fun to catch up with @pellinglab today as he was in #yyz - chatted science, the lab reduce-reuse-recycle mantra, and marathoning - well done on @chicagomarathon and here’s hoping we connect for @berlinmarathonE next year (I already gave him my recommendation for hotel …)

After 15+ years of hoarding old electronic junk “I might need one day” it has become necessary to purge. I just know that tomorrow I’m going to need something 😭

To all the other cheapskate hoarder scientists out there … I’m Sorry. I’ll do better next time.
