Help Ramadhan Luvandale end malaria! Ramadhan has a full PhD scholarship to research vector-borne disease, but he needs £1400 to cover flights and UK entry fees so he can take up the funding. Check out his GoFundMe page! gofundme.com/f/help-ramadha…

Tried to create a relaxing atmosphere in my statistics practical today by putting on a YouTube fireplace video but there are about 8 large screens on the walls in the room so instead it looked like we were all in hell

Hey @UPS! You have lost my package. I would like to contact you about it, but it appears I cannot send you an email unless I sign your liability waiver. Is that really your intent?

@daniela_witten Have you tried saying "My name is Daniela Witten. That is W-I-T-T-E-N. Look it up." (I know you shouldn't have to, and I am sorry this happens. But if there is a time for pulling rank to put someone in their place, the situation you are describing might be it.)

professor, but not like the ones they had in undergrad, who taught grad students too. Sometimes I try to keep explaining to them, but sometimes I stop because I don’t want to explode their brains 🤯 Men- why are you like this!!

When I tell a tech bro that I am a professor of statistics, they often immediately inform me that I am a teacher professor, not a researcher professor. I say no, I am a professor professor, I do research and teach, but mostly research. Then they tell me- oh but I’m an UNDERGRAD

@tmwaring @jorgeapenas I agree. But, as well as catchy, we will need to bring it into common usage. With some audiences, saying I am from the United States or USA does not convey the correct information, but saying I am American does. Lots of work to do on this one!

@jorgeapenas I like USians, for that reason. America is not even one continent! But USian doesn’t roll off the tongue. We need something more catchy.

Hey @KeyTravel, what do you mean by "technical reasons?" This wastes my time and has cost my employer money!

@joey71074 @sunnmcheaux I am actually not trying to single out the UK. My point is just that, as a US citizen living in the UK, I don't see that much difference. It seems to me that we have a lot of work to do in both places. But, as @joey71074 says, it is not really my opinion that matters here.

@joey71074 @sunnmcheaux They did not, nor did most other reasonable people. The UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent called it an "attempt to normalize white supremacy." I think most people think the report itself was further evidence of institutional racism. news.un.org/en/story/2021/…
