While looking through my husband's amazing photography for a photo for the textbook, I was reminded of this one of a mute swan. They are so impressive and majestic, but they are not native to North America and bully the local geese and ducks here on Lake Ontario.

Great talk from Ed Wasserman today on the analogical abilities of different animal species. Prompted a very interesting discussion on how same/different tasks can be solved in different ways. E.g., comprehending differences in perceptual entropy vs conceptual understanding of same/different.

I was reminded today how privileged I am to have a research-only job, in which Iā€˜m being paid to think about and do all day. Very grateful.
