It was amazing to visit Rowe Pottery to take a tour, meet their pottery artists, and hear about how this 50-year-old business has continued to grow and thrive in the Cambridge community. I even got to decorate a mug!

They sent JD Vance to Indiana and they were like never do that to us again

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

This Thursday we have our second OPAM online workshop! This one will address the best way to do power calculations to determine how many participants you should run in your next experiment - an increasingly important topic today! The talk will be given by @cjungerius.bsky.social from Cambridge!
