Teaduspark (APRIL=MONTH of ESTONIA)

"Teaduspark" = Park of Science – it is a name of bus stop in Tartu – second biggest town in Estonia. At the beginning of this month Gerli inspired me to name my post in her language. And two days ago, out of sudden another Estonian woman entered my professional life. She came back from Estonia to work together with us in our ecological lab. Is this world small or maybe I am attracting everything what is connected with this small northern country? So I decided to dedicate month of April to Estonia.

Today I want to get off there at the Park of Science stop and answer to myself a question what science is for. Since Aristotle big work on life we started to produce it. In a course of time we as a human kind managed to collect mountains of knowledge. And awareness of this fact can be really depressing. Imagine people who speak about SLA and WD and their relation across latitudes. I have to read hips of books and papers in order to enter the community of my scientists and introduce them to my point of view on given issue. Someone said that life is too short to read more than 1% of all books ever published. And in addition people dealing with science spend too much time at the table instead of doing some physical exercises what results in shorter lifespan. I think I am closer to science understood as a philosophy where pure curiosity and free imagination play around together : ).

I simply have to diarize that Thrilling Tuesday (19 June 2018). That Tuesday didn't start anything special. Following one month or so of Christina's unflattering comments on my hairstyle I arranged a meeting with a hairdresser. Here we come - the roller coaster starts accelerating. The hairdresser turned out to be a rock/jazz band singer and I could not stop asking for more details. Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )
