It’s a special day for me here in Houston at the AAPM 65th annual meeting! In a few moments I will be presenting my PhD research for the first time at a conference. Nerves and excitement are at an all time high and I’m happy to be here.

@TorontoMetSci students, join us on March 3rd when our team hosts a panel on Gender Bias in Research. RSVP Link: lnkd.in/ggSA2zT3 Read more about our panelists below.

@duolingo The problems where you have to choose words from the selection require too much time to find the words, I don’t think they are appropriate for the XP ramp up challenges. I suggest freezing the timer but removing a few seconds whenever the user orders the words wrong.

@duolingo Ich bin zum Frühstuck 🍳😱

Tell us a Duolingo horror story in 5 words. 🦉

Allyship is not being nice to Black and Indigenous people, it is giving up power and privilege. It is using what power and privilege you have to dismantle systems that disproportionately affect Black and Indigenous people. Please don't buy me a muffin and think you are an ally.

For example, why do I need an account just to scan a document to my computer 😡

Is there a Moore’s Law for the number of online accounts we have? Something like “the number of username-password pairs doubles but their usefulness halves”.

I’ve always appreciated the seamlessness of accessing arbitrary journals online (I’m an astrophysicist stumbling into PubMed currently) through my alumnus/student account. It hasn’t failed yet for me.

For my friends in northeastern US, stay safe!!

@sanjanacurtis I photo-sympathize with these feels

@autonomousdotai Just received this SmartDesk Surface, Dark Bamboo colour, and it has a dent in it. Looks like manufacturing defect, as it protrudes outwards rather than inwards.

On time management in academia: the key to success is not just managing your work-in-progress load, but realizing that your “urgent” pile should have at most 1 item and not the 10 that like the freeload there.

Really, pydocstyle? "D401: First line should be in imperative mood ('Create', not 'Creates')" I'm in a mood and it's imperative you run as fast as you possibly can away from my foot.

@newhot899 Maybe Jenni means “bird brain” not “ball brain”??

Here's an exciting vaccine update #OttCity: More COVID-19 vaccine appointments will be opening on Sunday, May 23 at 8 am. In addition, youth aged 12+ can begin booking appointments on Sunday. Learn more at: bit.ly/3wrZmit

@newhot899 think Jenni has a lot of unread emails? Read it and weep

@OttawaHealth Are mobile/pop-up vaccine clinics coming to hot spots for residents in hot spots in aged 18-44? I am seeing statements from Ontario govt for Toronto, Peel, and whisperings about Ottawa.

A moment of silence to remember the innocent lives of at least 19 Nova Scotians that were murdered this time last year during an unparalleled killing spree. Rest In Peace. Your lives will be remembered fondly, but not the one who committed this brutal crime.
