On teaching and mentorship

Many years ago I did PhD studies. I was a doctoral student (doktorand). I remember I felt a little like now – empty. After writing my books. Not so many ideas. A little like I have written everything I have thought of during passed years. I am happy that I have this rather unique education. It is a way of thinking. How to analyse complex patterns and formulate the answer in a few words. Put the conclusion into a bigger context and speculate on the future. However, to be able to do this you need to have something solid to stand on, and in my case that is knowledge. I like languages a lot and that is complex knowledge with grammar, synonyms etc. Perhaps next time I write here, I will in Norwegian. There are quite a lot of Norwegians in Sweden and I still remember how to talk. But it takes a while for me to get into that very specific Norwegian talking mood.

The Corona virus is every day news. The immunsystem is constantly a hot topic and if I get time I will refresh my knowledge on the interplay between T-cells and antibodies. Perhaps we will learn something completely new from studying immunology in practice. It seems like some people are more prone to get infected. Similar to like some people don’t get mosquito bites. Complex.

I miss sweetie and cutie and I will play Tom Jones for them. Lady has taught Molly what puppies need to know, and I must also admit that Molly has taught me some as well. To get out of my comfort zone and have selfies. That is a very nice vice versa mentorship!
