Sounds great! Python is lovely if you ask me. Did you dive into other languages too? I can't recommend mastering SQL enough after you've figured out how scripting works. It's frustrating at times, but also lifesaving at times.

Holy fuck that's a lot of kettlebells. I thought doing 50 was a lot. Are your gyms open still? Or some of the time? The most sportive I've become is by picking up running after corona hit. I'm doing 3 to 4 miles at a for-me-decent 10 minute/mile pace thrice a week, which is better than I've ever done. Hit 7,5% body fat percentage at 151lbs this summer briefly, whoops. Doing better now. My SO's still with me, we moved in earlier this year and it's been nothing but wonderful.

My paper's online and open access! All it needs is final typesetting and printing. These past months I've done almost no programming, as I've been quite succesful in moving from coder to (mobility) data expert. If all goes well, I can helm a project to get more research related to my paper into practice at a big dept. of transportation here.

SQL, eh? I've the barest experience. I don't wind up using it for work, although I know it's something so many developers, data scientists, analysts use, so it does seem eminently useful.

I do most of my workouts at home, although I went to this gym and quite like it, feel good that it's largely outdoors.

I'm at ~11% bodyfat percentage per Amazon's Halo and am considering going all out and hitting 5 or 6 percent, just to have done it once in my life in peak shape. Take some pictures, eat ten burritos. It's a vanity project, and it's so hard. We'll see.

Congrats on the paper. Do you have a website? I'm curious, how much different a style is it written in than, say, the style you'd write it in if it were a blog post?
