Samposium v1

This listing enumerates the posts from the previous iteration of Samposium. Posts range between long rambling posts about my PhD that I never expected anyone to read, and things that I did to distract myself from finishing my PhD that I hoped people would read. Each link will take you to a static snapshot of the decommissioned Wordpress post.
