This time next week we’ll all be relaxing on a beach somewhere toasting to the start of a great Reading Week. Right? Not likely. Realistically, we’ll all be working desperately to catch up on all that work we’ve been putting off. Well, in the mean time, here are a few things to help you unwind (albeit momentarily):

• Who hasn’t unwound by carrying on conversations talking like Yoda from Star Wars? Well, rather than get all grammatical in an attempt to explain Yoda’s unique way with words and how you can replicate it, we found this Yoda-speak generator. Yes, a Yoda-speak translator.
• Earlier in the week, we talked a little about postdocs as a way to put your degree to work. Just to balance out that optimism, we felt an ethical responsibility to share Adam Ruben’s comical assessment entitled The Postdoc: A Special Kind of Hell.
• Imagine a campus-wide scavenger hunt. No. A province-wide scavenger hunt. Now imagine that the hunt utilized those unique talents that only a scholar of your calibre possesses. Wait, this sounds a lot like the Research Matters Virtual Scavenger Hunt.
