I feel like August is a bit slow for us in research. A lot of people are on vacation. Things just stop for the time being until the September rush. Do you feel that OSS a case for your work too?

For sure, I feel like a lot of our research community (professors and postdocs) take August off before the new school year, so things definitely move slower for us during this month. Frankly, I'm grateful for it, I have a vacation planned in 2 weeks and it's nice knowing that I won't be missing out on a really busy week and my team won't struggle without me there

Ooh enjoy your vacation! Going anywhere fun?
