Dozens of refugee youth have co-created art and tech installations at #UCalgary to share their stories of love, friendship, grief and sadness, encouraging people to re-examine what it means to be anti-racist ow.ly/C78K50Ntjyk @UCalgaryEduc @UCalgaryArts

The GSA is devastated by the destruction and damage of the recent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey. We stand in solidarity with current graduate students and their families who are impacted. Below are two organizations accepting donations.

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Wonderful paper out today from two superstars from our lab: @stephhladik and @Basak_Helvaci. Congratulations! I’ve loved this analysis from the start :)

@Basak_Helvaci and I wrote a paper together! Centering and Decentering Children in Computing through Joint Activity at a Computational Science Exhibit, published in the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction. Check it out👇🏻 authors.elsevier.com/c/1gG5z7t9Uo1y… (1/3)

ESERA is planning a workshop to provide information and support for writing proposals for the ESERA 2023 Conference to be held in Cappadocia, Turkey. Please sign up at the following link if interested. eventbrite.co.uk/e/ecr-workshop…

I am currently reading Design Justice by @schock It made me reflect on my experiences of being searched so many times at airports and a white colleague of mine saying ‘it’s routine, and it could have been him’. Yes, right, the only thing is it’s almost always me.

Can’t believe it’s been 12 years! #MyTwitterAnniversary

In parallel with our story! Absurdly hard to get a decent job with our degrees, astronomical amount of fees to get a Canadian degree/certificate. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Friday, August 26 is the last day of Summer Intersession 2022 @UofC. However, writing support appointments for the Spring and Summer Terms will end on August 7, 2022. Is there any logical explanation for why students are left with no writing support? @UofCProblems

From a middle-easterner’s pov, I found the idea of cemetery tours a bit bizarre. I guess my experience of Muslim cemeteries are not that welcoming to tours or any groups (who are not weeping). So I signed up to learn and experience something new! calgary.ca/csps/parks/cem…

I submitted two applications! Hope I get a TA position for the summer term. I really missed interacting with students. #phdlife

I can relate 🤦🏽‍♀️

I'm presenting on behalf of my colleagues @pratim @mcshanahan @Basak_Helvaci at #AERA21 today! We will discuss our ongoing work as part of an RPP in a Canadian science museum in two different sessions:

Who would have known this bingo could be so much fun but at the same time take so looong to complete! 😂 @ucGPESA #GPESABINGO2021

We are excited to announce the call for our 2021 Special Issue: Spotlighting Graduate Student Resiliency During the COVID-19 Pandemic

@thephdstory more than I can count

Hey #AcademicTwitter, how many tabs do you have open on your computer right now?

@metanoya_ şimdi taşlar yerine oturdu. 😂 vakit ayırıp paylaştığınız için teşekkür ederim.

@Basak_Helvaci Geçen gün komşunun çocukları kreması sıyrılmış bisküvi uzatıp ikram etti :)

Küçükken kremalı bisküvilerin kremasını yer bisküvileri birbirine yapıştırıp üst üste dizerdim. Bir gün komedi dizisinde aynısını yapan bir çocuk konu alınmıştı. Niye komik o vakit anlayamamıştım.
