I never really liked this platform I've moved over to at thepostfuture at the place with bluer skies

This has been a lot of my time, effort, and mental bandwidth for the past five years. As my first purely administrative role, it's been stressful, but I've learned a lot. I'm excited to see where we take it in the next five years. ncsa.illinois.edu/to-the-farthes…

@SiaraRouzer I had many C's in Physics in undergrad (and am now a Professor of Physics) (but, to be fair ... the world is much less forgiving nowadays...)

Looking to prove a point with my undergrad RAs. Can any fulltime scientists (all career stages) share if they received a 'C' grade or lower on their undergraduate transcripts? Bonus points for sharing the class title.

hey look, the project I’ve been working on for a decade is in the news ! : ( science.org/content/articl…

@JeremyKlemin @TheAtlantic @morganhikaru @JohnGHendy I enjoyed this article. Thank you.

For @TheAtlantic, I wrote about ongoing inconsistencies in how Portuguese Americans are racially/ethnically classified. This piece has been rattling around in my brain for years - huge thanks to my editors, @morganhikaru and @JohnGHendy! theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

@AstroMonnier @adsabs yup

Anyone else having ADS connectivity troubles the last week or two? @adsabs

This is for both of my followers out there. Come hang out in Urbana for a few days this June. You know who you are.

@DrStephCraig @OpenAcademics classical, ambient, electronic. I prefer music without lyrics for working. I'm also picky about speaker placement.

@Bob41Dylan Buckets of Rain

Today in 1975 Bob Dylan released perhaps his greatest record ever. Can you pick a favourite song from Blood on the Tracks?

@CircuitdesYeux Transformer, duh

favorite lou reed album?

@benegotherit Synthwave ?!?!?! more like Sisters of Mercy or Big Black

@ChrisMihos haha, let's see em !

Talking to my students about making good plots today. Of course, the best way to do that is to show the difference between good plots and bad plots, so I'm spending the morning making some of the absolute worst plots I can dream up. This is actually kinda fun.

@ultrapeakschris wow, that's really cool ! (and spooky !)
