Andrew Pelling 🧫🔬

After 27 years, my path in academia is coming to an end. On July 1st I will be retiring from my Professorship at the University of Ottawa. What comes next? Plenty, but those are posts for later. A thread 🧵(1/8)

@ATinyGreenCell I'm blushing Seb 😊😊😊

Here's an underrated scientist I admire profoundly: @pellinglab. This guy's research style is pure vibes and also a wonderful human being in person. Really cool research, solid student mentorship, and a talent for executing a vision with unique style. Just a cool cat to know.

Looking forward to this event. Always fun speaking at the alma mater 🧑‍🎓🤓

@pellinglab Best of luck, Andrew. It was a pleasure to meet you and know about Pelling lab many years ago during a #SciFoo. Congrats for all the accomplishments at the Academia side and I keep following for updates 😉

@pellinglab What a journey and so many accomplishments along the way 🎉 Congratulations, Andrew, and excited to see what’s next for you (maybe more commercials 😁)

@cerbino Thanks Roberto! I found a funny pic from your visit when I was digging around looking for all those old group pics 😂😂😂

@pellinglab Big surprise Andrew! I wish you all the best. I feel lucky that I had a chance to visit the PellingLab and meet some of the nice people who have been a part of this nice adventure. Looking forward to seeing what the future will bring!

Yes! #CoffeeWithChris achievement unlocked! Was great to catch up Chris. Hope I can race you next year 😂

After 15+ years of hoarding old electronic junk “I might need one day” it has become necessary to purge. I just know that tomorrow I’m going to need something 😭 To all the other cheapskate hoarder scientists out there … I’m Sorry. I’ll do better next time.

Scenes from another fascinating weekend hanging out at X for #SciFoo 2023. Thank you @digitalsci @Google @OReillyMedia for the invite. Great to be back this year in person 🤓
