    • Dr. Patel is an astute man. He's very good at assessing challenges and comes up with real quick solutions. Whenever I am stuck with my algorithms for my master's thesis, he's my go-to person, and he helps me get unstuck. He's a hard-working individual and puts dozens of hours at computer labs and teaching, as well as spends time with his family and friends. I have a lot of respect for him. I like working with him because we share the same interest in quantum computing.

    A Guide to Personalising Books *grangerising*

    • I wouldn't do this with ordinary ink, like I wouldn't want it showing, but I like using invisible ink because it's like a really personal way of annotating and it can also encourage you to be less serious about annotation. Like I am very careful when I annotate, like I'm not just going to write anything. It has to feel like a very astute point or there has to be a reason for me writing something in the book with normal ink, whereas invisible ink just kind of gives a bit more freedom because it's not going to actually change the visual look of the page. And it's also really fun to kind of go back over the book when you're rereading and cast the invisible ink over it and kind of see your very raw visceral reaction to a book as you were reading it.
