1. What are you hoping for in 2024?
An end to at least some of the ongoing conflicts around the world.
2. What was your low point of 2023?
I don’t think I have a particular low point. I had a couple of grant proposals rejected, which is always depressing, but equally I had some success so that was good. From September through mid-December is mostly a blur, and I was ill quite a few times but pushed through with work which may or may not have been a good idea.
3. And your high point of 2023?
Learning to pivot rapidly away from responsibilities that are no longer mine.
4. Do you make New Year’s resolutions or are they just a waste of time?
I used to think it was pointless when almost invariably the resolve to keep them would peter out in days or weeks or (if you’re lucky) months. In the past I made silly ones only. Now I use them as a way to reset when I’ve gotten into bad habits.
5. Do you have any traditions for celebrating New Year’s Eve?
I like watching all the amazing fireworks displays on the countdown to NYE, and now that the coordinated drone displays are a thing, I’m loving those too.
