Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

May: photos post

Happy first day of winter (NZ)! I think I’ll continue with split photos posts.

April: Whanganui Journey, three papers submitted, and a trip to Tasmania

Another new place: Tasmania (recommended!). Between the two trips, I did a bunch of work, which I hope will pay off: three paper submissions. Just life as usual.

April: photos post

Let’s try something different and separate the photos post from the summary post.

March: more bad professional news from 2023 efforts, Canada trip, Wānaka climbing, and start of the Whanganui River Journey

In from Sydney, out to Vancouver, with a hike in the middle, and some research and service.

February: Travers-Sabine; and, entering NZ at the start and leaving NZ at the end

In from Sydney, out to Vancouver, with a hike in the middle, and some research and service.

Trip report: refereeing in Abbotsford, Edmonton, and a quick trip to Toronto/Waterloo

March has two Canadian circuit judo tournaments: Pacific International and Edmonton International. I also stopped by Waterloo for two days and took care of some business.

January: Nelson, Wellington, other Nelson, and Sydney

I’m really not experiencing large blocks of unstructured time right now, particularly with all the reviewing I’m doing. But it is true that I don’t have any teaching to prepare, at least.

In any case, I haven’t had time to write the January report, or a report on all of 2023, having been in Sydney and then almost immediately onto the Travers-Sabine Circuit in early February. Well, February is only half over! Though at this rate I should start the March report.


December: taking all the courses

Travel month with Wilderness First Responder and Avalanche Skills Training 2, and Christmas in Montreal.

November: almost entirely staying put in Wellington

PLDI submission and trip to New Caledonia. Just the routine.

October: NSERC Discovery Grant writing, and refereeing in Canada

Mostly working on a NSERC Discovery Grant application and travelling to referee in Winnipeg and Scarborough, with a stop in Waterloo.
