In today's @MonocleMag newsletter I make the case for absorbing 'kolay gelsin', the most useful of Turkish phrases, into English. Happy Monday, and kolay gelsin! monocle.com/affairs/societ…

Whenever I had a student named Justin, I would welcome them to class by saying “Justin time” when they arrived after class had started.

Glad to see computational social science gaining traction in Turkish.

Regarding recent press coverage

@BlackHC @docmilanfar Same here

@docmilanfar First four words and I thought this was an ML post 😅

“dropout” is a popular startup founder credential. but the evidence points overwhelmingly in the opposite direction. they usually didn’t drop out to find an idea; they dropped out because their business was already scaling and the opportunity cost of staying became too high. the myth persists due to survivorship bias - we see the tiny fraction of dropouts who became billionaires and ignore the many who dropped out and failed. and media amplifies the "dropout" story too because it’s counter-intuitive and engaging

Would have been nice to hear a thank you, but I don't even expect that after seeing some avoiding in the hallway. They walk by as though they never met you before 😔

I've just realised that Turks measure out detergent by the tea glass ♥️

Story of every CEO right now 😂

@mikesmith187 I have another garbage called BISSELL with a nightmare customer service.

My hot take is that Dyson vacuums are not for serious vacuumers. Battery is garbage, filter is garbage. Canister too small. Absolute joke of a cleaning tool.

Disappointed for the second time. Thought it was a trustworthy brand with professional customer service. They don't even take the responsibility for sending a defective product & honor the warranty despite their own repair service report. Took my lesson. No longer @BISSELLclean

@BISSELLclean I just closed a chat window with one of your agents. Seems like your agents don't or can't follow the history. It has been an exhausting experience. Not sure if your direct message would be a different experience.

@halilbisgin We're sorry for any inconvenience you've had. Please contact us through direct message so we can resolve this for you!

Disappointed with @BISSELLclean—poor product and even worse customer service.

As a PI, most of my lab skills have deteriorated. I barely know how to do anything in the lab, but I'm pretty good at multi-factor authentication, paperwork, electronic signatures... I also tell myself that I'm good at thinking about the big picture, whatever that means.

@demiribr Congratulations!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining Tulane University as the Michael A. Fitts Presidential Chair in Environmental Informatics and Artificial Intelligence and Professor at the Dept. of River-Coastal Science and Engineering and the ByWater Institute.

We are humbled to have our lab's work featured this week on the cover of @Nature (below), with many, many people to thank. First, the stellar crew of @inspiration4x, @rookisaacman, @ArceneauxHayley, @ChrisSembroski, @DrSianProctor, who donated time, blood, fluids, and sweat for the mission. These data were the foundation of the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), expanding upon the findings from @StationCDRKelly & @CaptMarkKelly in the NASA Twins Study and enabling an unprecedented look the human body (and its microbes) in space. Second, thanks to many science teams , especially co-leaders for the SOMA effort @AfshinBeheshti, @EliahOverbey, @cemmeydan, Chris Jones, @mathiasbasner, @KeithSiew, Stephen Walsh, @joseph_borg_ , & Susan Bailey, the I4 mission science leads Frederic Zenhausern, Mark Shelhamer, Eric Bershad, @aesargsyan, @7irz, @DoritPhD, @EUrquietaMD, Ashot Sargsyan, Doug Ebert, Mathias Basner, and leadership from @IwijnDeVlaminck, @Astro_Kate7, @trialx, @LabMelnick, @nebula_rd, @FathiKarouia, @giacomello_lab, Scott Smith, Sara Zwart, @SpaceLuisZea, and many more. Third, the amazing med-ops and mission teams at @spaceX and @NASA, especially @jmat_, @astro_anil (now at NASA), Sean Mullane, Seth Stravers Tigchelaar, Steven Levitte, & Marissa Rosenberg, plus all the support teams in the planning and logistics stages before, during, and after the missions. Fourth, the labs at @WeillCornell who worked for several years on the papers and data portals, especially @EliahOverbey, @KJangkeun @BradenTierney @krista_ryon @JIWOONPARK_ @mjdmackay @asierra93, @ChrisRChin, & Dan Butler, Sebastian Garcia Medina, Namita Damle, Deena Najjar, Kirill Grigorev, Karolina Sienkiewicz, Laura Patras, Remi Klotz, Veronica Ortiz, Annalise Schweickart, Theodore M. Nelson, Gabriel Deards, Jonathan Foox, Craig Westover, Chandrima Bhattacharya, Serena Lucotti, Jacqueline Proszynski, Marissa Burke, Ashley S. Kleinman, Daniel J. Butler, Conor Loy, Omary Mzava, and Jeremy Hirschberg, which also led the creation of the Cornell Aerospace Medicine Biobank (CAMBank). Fifth, the superb @NASAGeneLab teams, @CostesSylvain, @RyanTScott, Sam Gebre, Egle Cekanaviciute, Lauren Sanders, and others for enabling controlled and long-term data access, ensuring these data as a resource for the field for the decades of spaceflight ahead. Finally, thanks to the vision of @elonmusk and Jared Issacman to enable such ambitious studies, including the upcoming @PolarisProgram missions with Jared, @KiddPoteet, @annawmenon, @Gillis_SarahE. Also, we have the upcoming @framonauts mission led by @satofishi which will greatly expand upon this work and launch humanity into The Second Space Age.
