November 2025
Super late with these diaries, but I'm also trying to catch up on an entire month of life missed due to my concussion lol. It's going much better so I started my classes of Evolutionary Genomics.
I find local adaptation and selection very interesting but I have to say genomics so far is not my favourite. I'm looking forward to Scientific Advocacy though, I really like meta analyses.
Below is the haplotype network we made for the garden dormouse populations across Europe using ARTIS population samples and existing sequences.
I watched Bugonia in the theater, absolutely loved it. So far I've seen most of Lanthimos' films, I generally love his style and storytelling. My favourites are probably The Favourite, Bugonia and TKOASD.
I also like The Lobster but I actually really dislike the narration. Poor Things was also amazing but it was so long I feel like I should probably watch it again.
Dogtooth is really too weird and uncomfortable to recommend it to anyone.
I also collected mushrooms for (probably) the last time this year.
We weren't able to find Lepista but we did find Coprinus comatus (really late in the year!!!) and they were in super condition so we used those instead.
I have to say they were super tasty which I didn't expect so I hope to find some next year during the summer.
Favourite song
Enya - Caribbean Blue
Next month...
In december I have to move, because my contract is ending. It's going to suck, I'm going to have to bear it. There's also holidays which will be fun so I hope to compensate for the move that I'm absolutely dreading. I don't mind finishing 2025 as fast as possible, to be honest...
