The @NSF-funded @iAAMCS (Institute for African American Mentoring in Computer Science) at UFL has a very short and useful set of mentoring guidelines with actionable advice. It should be more widely shared, IMO diversitycomplete.com/iaamcs/wp-cont…

My favorite is stealth mentoring--people I consider mentors who probably don't know it.

Mr Biden, I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure xoxo the women in america 💙

Critical reminder. Do not cede power too readily. Do not obey.

If you work at a government agency, CDC, FDA, CIA, FBI, NASA, NTSB, NOAA, anywhere, you need to start saving every gig of data you can find. Studies, organizational charts, employee manuals, policies and procedures. Anything that can be used to recreate your agency from scratch.

🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud. ⛔️These people are wrong⛔️ I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/

Reminding women that their husbands don’t have to know who they voted for is pissing off exactly the people that make such a message necessary.

remember when captain america said this?

.@KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans. She actually cares about making your lives better. Donald Trump only thinks about himself. I want you to remember this: if someone doesn’t respect you, they should not represent you. That’s not what you need in your life. And we don’t need Donald Trump leading our country for another four years.

The one time I purposefully invoked an AI was in SessionLab because I had workshop-creator's block. It got me over the block because it was So. Wrong. I had to fix it.

Reason #487 why I use AI tools for exactly nothing.

Stevie Nicks gets incredibly real - on pretty much every topic you'd want to hear from her on - in this gem of a longform Q&A with @angiemartoccio. too many highlights to quote in one tweet. read the whole thing! rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

Never insult your reviewers in your grant proposal.

Trans voters face barriers in voter ID laws. Here’s what you should know. teenvogue.visitlink.me/U2sVpG

If the Israel Palestine war is your main issue, be mindful that no third-party vote can win. And if Trump wins, he has already said he would strongly support Netanyahu in his destruction of the Palestinians. A third-party vote is not a progressive vote. It is a vote for Trump.

I don't see where that cool-sounding core is used in the project, and the F&OR doesn't say how the cores contribute to the success of the project. Reviewers say they'd never trash a grant for the Facilities page, but I've actually seen it happen.

I have never left so many comments on a Facilites & Other Resources section, but boy-howdy did they fail to use it effectively. I don't care about 44,000 ft2 of total departmental office space. What do YOU have? It's great you have that core facility, but...
