That’s a shame - and a loss for us! - but it’s good you’re still able to spend some time back in Germany. Hopefully there will be an occasion to catch-up in the near future.
Heading to Warwick for a workshop on temporal experience, and appropriately enough it feels like I lived here so recently and yet such a long time ago (no doubt exacerbated by the fact that I never lived here with my son).
Looking forward to a fun day of talks (if the weather lets me arrive…)!
That’s often the case with me too! The closer I am to submission, the less I like a paper. For me, I suspect it’s a combination of knowing more about all of the ways one might respond to the claims (and ways it could be developed, without a word limit) and having to face up to the fear of rejection.
