the lesson will repeat itself until you learn from it.

Bodies aren’t meant to stay the same. We are supposed to grow and change. We shouldn’t be making people in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, etc feel like they need to strive for the bodies they had in their teens and 20’s. Or making people feel like they “need to get their bodies back” after they have had children. These mindsets aren’t healthy and change is inevitable.

what people think it means to be a scientist: “i have all the answers!”

what it actually means to be a scientist: “this is maybe the answer but i can’t say anything for sure because we don’t really know all that much, and even though statistics might be useful in determining our confidence in the significance of results, they often don’t capture the nuance of the actual data, which in turn doesn’t capture the nuance of real life, because the double-edged sword of controlled experiments is that these parameters don’t actually exist anywhere in nature, and they’re only implemented to manage the complexities of the world and to fit them into a model that we can actually test!! and all results are generalizations, when in fact, each case is unique and often unmeasurable. and most things we measure can’t be measured, so we have to fall back on proxies, which might not tell the whole story!! i don’t know anything!!! i mean, i can say this one specific thing with statistical confidence, but not with any real confidence??? i’m sorry???? also where’s the free coffee at this conference????”

My student has been doing so well. She's moved on from additions in just 2 days :'). Today, we'll be doing subtractions but more specifically, trying to practice subtracting single-digit numbers before double digits. After her session, then it's crunch time to finish with my TTMIK Level 1 book!
