Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

July: all SCAM all the time, plus some domestic NZ travel

Being Program Chair of a conference is a lot of work. Also, trips to Kaikōura and Auckland.

June: another super normal month, actually with 0 travel.

Unusually, I didn’t leave town all month! Furthest I got was the Kapiti Coast.

Not quite done with teaching in April; that would be May. Two papers in progress and a trip to Montreal.
