If you’ve followed this blog for a while, I am honestly quite confused. This blog is not particularly insightful or well thought out. I have a tendency to just barf up posts and publish them. But I’m also not apologizing: this is an important part of my workflow. There are many steps between an idea and a peer reviewed paper (which is usually the end goal, in my case), and blogging, for me, is one of those steps.

If something is just barely tangible enough to put into words, it goes on the blog. I’m surprised people don’t yell at me more often for these half-baked ideas. If you do want to yell at me, I encourage you to do so; it is healthy to criticize and be criticized. So blogging, for me, is an embarrassingly rough draft. I’m surprised that you choose to read this.
