Meanwhile the Stockholm Arlanda airport is beautiful, calming, quiet (for an airport) and comfy). We could do so much better!

Stranded overnight in Toronto. Going on over 30 hours of travel. Getting from Western Canada to anywhere and back again is a JOURNEY, Air Canada never fails to disappoint, and Pearson is purgatory!

Nobel Prize museum. Frankly, just not enough zoology for my liking 🐿️ Weird to see a science musuem that 1) isn’t an interactive kids centre or natural history museum and 2) is so serious! Maybe I PhD’d wrong 😅

A week of forests at #IUFRO2024 fueled by daily breakfast meatballs & lingonberries, topped off with performances by The Choir of the ABBA museum

Truly a great way to experience Sweden for the first time. And I still have two days ahead to explore ☺️

Winner! I took a little boat tour from Stockholm today and it all felt very familiar. I’m no geologist but ther internet tells me the Canadian Shield and Baltic Shield are similar in that area, and the cottage vibes are also strong in both!

I had to wake up at 3:30 am Saskatoon time Wednesday for my Toronto flight, then had one hour of sleep on the red eye to Stockholm. First stop when I got into the city this morning was the Vasa Museum (on @stephenbheard.bsky.social’s “wreck”-ommendation) - SO. COOL.

Do you have an ORCid? This can help connect all papers across names to one person! orcid.org They are commonly asked for in STEM publications; not sure about other disciplines though.
