As of yesterday, I am officially retired, and now Professor Emerita at York. The "Emerita" status grants me facilities that will help me continue to do research more readily: I keep my IT account (email, cloud storage, Overleaf, PaperPile, ...), library access, and a form of affiliation with the University. In exchange, they get to claim any publications of mine as associated with them.
So what did I do on my first day of official retirement? Well, I went for my daily walk, and got a bit of a fright. But the rest of the day I spent on zoom, on an interview panel. A colleague and I recently won an Aria "Nature Computes Better" project called LoCoMo (Lossy Computational Models). This was submitted before I had decided to retire, and awarded after. As Emerita, I can still work on the project ... for free! Yesterday we were interviewing for the two PostDocs.
So, starting as I mean to go on!
