     Hang in there, Dr. Sekula. Your summer somewhat mirrors mine: Conflicted about working in a Covid environment; trying to stay engaged in politics (not physics research); the loss of my father and admitting my mom to a long-term care facility where Covid mortality is high. We'll pull through, and if the future looks different from the past that's probably a good thing.

    Participating in the virtual AI4EIC-Exp workshop. I really miss being in-person for these events. Grateful to be able to participate at all, but looking forward to being back together with colleagues again.

    Another good run this morning, on a day when the heat index has eased up a bit during the morning. Very lucky to be able to go a few miles and burn off some more stress.

    This was a very stressful week. I was grateful to be able to take a run this morning. I was also grateful that, given the last month, I've maintained my weight. Less to claw back from.
