As part of that article, I posted a list of blogs I enjoyed and had been reading. Since today is the second year anniversary of this blog, I thought I’d continue the tradition and make it an annual exercise. 50 Lessons I’ve Learned Over the Last Six Years https://blog.rkempe.ca/posts/2026/03/50-lessons-ive-learned-over-the-last-six-years/ Sun, 01 Mar 2026 22:45:44 -0500 https://blog.rkempe.ca/posts/2026/03/50-lessons-ive-learned-over-the-last-six-years/ These are some things I’ve learned, or at the very least thought about, over the last few years. Hopefully some of these ideas are useful to you as well. What Doing My First (Short) Math Lecture Taught Me https://blog.rkempe.ca/posts/2025/06/what-doing-my-first-short-math-lecture-taught-me/ Sun, 29 Jun 2025 13:02:46 -0400 https://blog.rkempe.ca/posts/2025/06/what-doing-my-first-short-math-lecture-taught-me/ For context, these are some things I learned in the process of putting together and delivering a guest lecture to a first-year discrete math course last summer. The talk was about the research I was doing at the time, and I was allotted about half an hour for the presentation. Again, I meant to write and post this last year, but clearly that didn’t happen. Lessons I Learned During My Undergraduate Research Internship https://blog.rkempe.ca/posts/2025/06/lessons-i-learned-during-my-undergraduate-research-internship/ Fri, 27 Jun 2025 23:37:43 -0400 https://blog.rkempe.ca/posts/2025/06/lessons-i-learned-during-my-undergraduate-research-internship/ I really meant to put this list up sometime last fall… whoops. (This is yet another incredibly overdue article.) Anyway, here are a whole bunch of things I learned while attempting to “do research” last summer, whatever <em>that</em> means. The big theme here is to <em>make life easier for future you</em>, who will have to wrangle together your several months of chaos and exploration into a rigorous and coherent narrative. Present you can help by being organized and breaking things down into smaller, documentable steps.
