On navigation and Walruses

True to the name of the blog, I thought I'd trumpet a little bit about the small modicum of fame I have achieved as of the publication of the last Walrus, a widely read Canadian magazine somewhat akin to the New Yorker in content and tone, although rather differing in the comprehensibility of name choice.

The last issue contained a feature article on whether or not modern technology is killing our ability to navigate our way around the world (cleverly called "Global Impositioning Systems") which features quite prominently Dr. Veronique Bohbot's lab, where I have worked since May. Cool beans.

Also, there's an accompanying video. Watch the whole thing--it goes to our lab at about 1:30, and you can even hear and see (I'm wearing 3d glasses, the height of chic) helping the author around the lab in the middle of it! It also feature Dr. Bohbot herself and some of my lovely co-workers. Check it out!

In totally unrelated news, I still am confused as to my own tendency to want to spell accompany with a "g" after the second "a." You'd think I would have learned by now.
