Simine Vazire Drops In for Dinner!

Of course I had to wear my APS uniform. You can just see, over Simine’s shoulder, the stunning artwork, portions of which appear on the cover of all my books.

It was great to see Simine last night, and to hear about the latest from APS and the world of journal editing. Her great love is still journal editing–very fortunately for psychology and indeed all of science. But when she wants quiet time for writing she takes to the road, finding quiet corners to use her laptop in coffee shops or, I was surprised to hear, breweries!

This last week she has slowly driven down from Sydney, coffee shop by coffee shop, to spend time with Fiona Fidler and with the MetaMelb group at The University of Melbourne.

She dropped in for a tuna pasta dinner, which grandkids Lucy and Zoe always request. Simine ate off this StatPlay classic picture of the green heap, long since renamed the mean heap.

These days you can explore the dances and many other goodies in esci web.

Enjoy!

P.S. On a personal note, we recently had a busy month to mark my 80th birthday (yikes!)–wonderful chamber music, two big parties, and now, to cap it off, a visit from Simine!
