picture of Vermilon Lake, Banff, Sept. 27, 2015, taken during a nice noon run compensating for the awful morning run in the freezing rain! Too bad I got stung by a bee or a wasp during that run, In the nose. It really hurts!!!

Yesterday, I flew from Amsterdam to Calgary to attend the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute Leadership Retreat (15w2214) at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS). The point of this meeting is to brainstorm towards building a research policy and strategy for the newly created CANSSI. To which scientific advisory committee I joined last semester. I just hope my brain will remain functional enough to contribute to the discussion, if not to storm, despite the eight hour time lag! (The drive from Calgary to Banff was beautiful, with flashy yellow bursting from the green landscape: Fall is coming.)
