@KarthikGeomicro Wonder if they painted yesterday or something. This jumped out at me when I was on the bus home yesterday too.

Perfect place to get a microbial or viral dark matter tattoo!

We are all familiar with the user interface fails that we have dubbed “butt dial” and “damn you auto correct!”, but what do you call it when the user interface changes right before you touch the screen and it does something entirely unexpected and undesired?

@HEPfeickert I've been using toggl pretty well for the last 3 years. I have a project for emails and it is pretty reliably 1/3 of my time.

I've started time tracking more seriously (using Toggl and Timery) and oh boy is the amount of time that I spend writing and answering email each week deeply depressing!

@lauraalbertphd "I'm the culprit!" - Me when I looked at how many emails I send

I sent 30 emails during my first two hours in my office today 🥺 I've been tracking my emails and will include this data in an upcoming blog post about department chair life. Stay tuned! #departmentchairlife #ineedahug

New thing I'm trying this semester: Using a coloring book in my General Biology course!

@JennaJrdn Really feeling this, did finally try to sign up for fosstodon though today.

@WeAreRLadies @UWMadisonMDTP @suenlab @swcarpentry @datascience_uw Thanks for the shout out, Kim! And for sharing your R story!

@OpenAcademics the freezer broke

Tell me an academic horror story in 3 words or less👻🎃 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicHalloween

I've been delinquent in my retweeting! We're hiring! Come work with us on an array of cool projects that support researchers using computing! 🥳🥳🥳

Was reminded that java and python were my first languages as I'm making a timeline and realized I'd started everything on day 0.

The Center for High Throughput Computing (@CHTC_UW ) has several full-time positions open including research software engineer, research computing specialist and facilitator roles! @uwcdis These jobs & others are posted on our website - check them out: cs.wisc.edu/the-student-ex…

I've really enjoyed and learned a lot from being on @thecarpentries Exec Council. If you are interested, please apply!

If you are having a bad day, by the end of this thread, you will no longer. 🧵

@KyleCranmer @datascience_uw Missing the credit in my above tweet. It was @solislemuslab's idea!

@KyleCranmer @datascience_uw We are planning a matching program over lunch for the first day of the 2023 Research Bazaar! We could point people to this activity as a follow-up after the Bazaar?

Thinking about launching an initiative that will randomly pair people in the @datascience_uw community for lunch to help build connections. There's an effort like this at CERN called "Lunch Collider", which is clever, but I want a more data science focused name. Help me choose:

What has been one of your biggest challenges navigating the #opensource communit(y/ies) you’re a part of? #askingforafriend 😂 cc @alycrall
