Hi I'm Victor and this is the story of how a kid born in extreme poverty in a Brazilian favela went to be a Scientist in Canada. My goal here is just to share what I went through and to showthe challenges of someone that starts life a lot of steps behind whatever it means.

@pcastr @sarahookr I'm curious why are you located in Ottawa and not Montreal? Peace, price, taxes, all of the above?

@yimregister I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you find comfort. Do not let anyone or anything hold you back from taking time off. Use the resources offered (time off, counseling, deferrals, etc).

Hi 💖 my partner died this week. I am barely on Twitter so perhaps no one will see this, but I am looking for advice on how to finish a PhD while experiencing heartbreak, trauma, grief, and the unimaginable. I want to finish, I’m so excited to finish, he always called me Dr Yim.

I dream of the day when people realize that we fight for diversity in AI because it *truly* results in more robust technology that can be used by more people. 🌍👩🏼‍💻 It's not an affirmative action situation, it really helps make better tech!

With the impact of AI/ML systems in the lives of citizens, it is fundamental that we take in account how such systems impact the dynamics of the community, including but not limited to, its government and democratic processes. Let the people be heard and build for them.

It is prime to value the individuality and purpose of cities. Solutions that are practical for small/medium communities may not be applicable in larger ones.The ethnic diversity and the intent of urban geography MUST be taken in account when deploying automated systems.

I was part of the @UNHABITAT @UN on responsible AI and cities expert meeting today. Quoting my friend and mentor Dr. Regina Helena Alves da Silva "The cities is where the *real* things happen". We must observe that cities are unique communities.
