‘Spürsinn’ is a German word that translates to ’serendipity’ in English.

This blog is therefore a location where I can post thoughts I have had or information that I have found serendipitously. Whether they be links, my thoughts, papers I have written, or simple quotes this will be the place.

It’s unlikely that this will be of any consistent interest to other people considering my eclectic nature.

Regardless, if you’re interested it’s here.
