Hi Folks,

Given that were going to be spending a fair bit of time indoors, I thought it might be a good idea to have a regularly scheduled Discord so that we can get together each week and let off a bit of steam. I was thinking something like a regular Sunday 6pm EDT Tick Talk where we can discuss your latest project, maybe start a new one, solve a few problems, and just generally hang out to discuss anything you want really. Do let me know your suggestions below, and we will get this happening.

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi Folks,

A quick update for you - My co-authors and I have spent the last 4 weeks writing reponses as part of the peer review of the paper. If you're unfamiliar with this process, this is where the reviewers (generally academics familiar with the field) provide a written critique of the proposed finding, and then the authors provide a detailed response. Often this leads to some changes in the paper, with the intention being that it leads to an improvement in the argument.

This to-and-fro may be repeated again, but I'm happy with how we've responded in this round, and for now we wait for further action from the editor and reviewers to know what the outcome will be. One thing I'd like you to be aware of is that publication is not guaranteed - We think the finding is solid, but the reviewers are not obliged to agree, and at the level of journal to which we are submitting, rejection is common.

In any event, this of course means that the video making has been a bit slow, so I've again decided to suspend charges for all existing Patrons for the month of March. I'm going to spend the rest of the month catching up on the video shooting, project prototyping, and also learning a new skill for use in future projects - more on that later.

Again, from your perspective nothing much changes. You will still have access to all of the Patron content, and I will still be contactable by email, Discord, direct message, and the post comments if you have any questions, or just want to say G'day and see what I'm up to today.

Thank you again for your continued support folks.

Cheers,

Chris.
