@sp_monte_carlo It's single spaced... 😳

Is #SIAMCSE23 going to have a virtual component? @siagcse?

We have published a Perspective in @ScienceMagazine entitled Greening the pharmacy, addressing new measures needed to limit the ecological impact of drugs. It is time to make green pharmacotherapy a reality. Will try to summarize the paper in this thread. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@eJohnson643 Congratulations, Dr. Johnson!

Successfully defended my Ph.D thesis today! Dr. Johnson from here on out!

As a PhD student, my supervisor never answered my emails. Then I became a PhD supervisor and realised why A thread🧵 of my mistakes and how to avoid them #phdchat #AcademicTwitter

@spradlig2 I'm not sure I've seen that one!

@lynnt_math There’s an Escher print that looks a lot like this, with snakes on a sphere. Have you seen it?

1/ There's a concept known as financial compounding, but most people don't know about intellectual compounding. Buffett and Munger employed this to great effect and to accumulate mental models such that they can make large decisions quickly. Intuition is simply reading a lot.

I don't even remember how I made this one since I had some things wrong in the code that got fixed later

these are some images I made for my second paper (doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…), but didn't make the cut these one's aren't going to make it into the dissertation either, but I think they look nice

A common beginner mistake is to misunderstand the meaning of the term "interpolation" in machine learning. Let's take a look ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@StopAndDecrypt @3blue1brown This is what I’d like to see as well. We can see that social distancing is effective, but how long do we really need to do it is the million dollar question.

Working on some simulations. What questions would you like to see answered? The obvious ones are the effects of social distancing, and of decreasing the probability of infection, but what non-obvious ones come to mind?

Stark facts in this email I just received regarding the full shut-down at my day job @HarvardMed: “The outbreak of COVID-19 is the single most threatening pandemic to arise in the last century.” We will get through this together, and we must take this advice seriously.

I made a sketch for the attractors of those sin shear maps I was posting a while ago: lynntf.github.io/sketches/sin_s… I updated the code so you have to double click (tap) to get new random parameters. #processing #p5js
