So, I'm back from my trip to the states for the annual meeting of the Comparative Cognition Society.  It was a really good time.  I saw some killer talks.  I also chaired my session with an iron fist.  Pus, old friends.  Of course, Air Canada canceled my flight on the way there, because, you know, Air Canada.Oh yeah, so that's why this one is on a Monday, I was in the USA until yesterday when I returned from deep behind enemy lines.We're hopeful that a strike at the University can be avoided.  I'm actually cautiously optimistic on this.We talked a bit about the Cambridge Analytica thing.Oh and Isabelle did some great impressions of people from France.
