Other interestests

There is a large world beyond academia and here are a few things I’m up to clear the mind and stay healthy :)

If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know!

New Music Fridays

Some background….TL:DR links below to some playlists that are great.

I started out in music before moving into science. It only lasted a year but it’s a story I never stop telling the students I teach since I think it makes me windswept and interesting. The creativity, commitment and effort in writing or performing music is not as different as you might think to really good research. Life became busier after the PhD and I lost track of new music. This was partly due to living in Germany at the time and no longer listening to Triple J and FBI in Sydney. I basically haven’t updated my playlists since 2013. So I’m attempting to rectify this and flex the music muscles a bit more. A few links I’m currently liking below…

All Songs Considered

Paul Mccartneys Got Back Tour Having seen him live in one of the more ridiculous trips I have ever done (fly into Newcastle see Paul McCartney fly back to work the next morning) I think everyone needs some McCartney/Beatles in their lives.

Baking and Gardening

I started baking in Germany. I’ve been exclusively making sourdoughs for a while now and using the spare dough for pizzas on the weekends. Just started our first veggie patches this year with a shot of one of the patches starting to take form at the start of spring 2020.

Sourdough!

Bagels!
