life
Being in research is overwhelming and often exhausting. I am firmly convinced that keeping a healthy work-life balance and spending time among others and especially those with backgrounds different from yours are crucial in developing yourself as a person and a character, a responsibility that we all have in this world. It also makes the whole life struggle thing much more fun.
giving
- GiveWell
- A meta-charity that helps you donate your resources to make the most good
- You have about 80’000 hours of work in your life. Have you spent sufficient time to think how you will use it to leave the word a better place? This online resource will give you fresh and sometimes pretty surprising perspective.
sports
- I am an active player of Ultimate (frisbee). Yep that’s correct, the proper name is just “Ultimate”, maybe because it is the best sport ever? Here are some shots from the sport at its best.
art and related
visual arts
music
Here is link to my Spotify profile:
books
I read a lot, although much less than I would like to :). I maintain a list of books I have read on Goodreads and CBDB (in Czech).
podcasts
I enjoy podcasts where I learn something new or that made me laugh hard. I am still searching for a good way how to share them here. In the meantime, just ask me if you are interested.
blogging
- I can highly recommend that you start off with Jekyll and GitHub Pages. It is free and works across platforms.
- iwantmyname is a great hosting service which I have been using more than 4 years and I am very happy. It is a cool company as well.
