I just remembered that Mastodon existed!
I'm looking for other data scientists on here and people tooting about data visualizations and the like. Boost me to help me find people? :pray:
@greermahoney I kept meaning to make brain hats but I fell down the rabbit hole of investigating the fastest method of making i-cord, and never even started. I'll be marching though (in Australia).
Preparing to teach a class on #theatre #sound for next week, and being at the end of the #PhD process, I'm struck by the difference in reading a text to write about it, and reading a text to teach it. In the first case, it is 'What questions does this answer?' In the second, 'What questions does this ask?'
I hadn't really thought of that before.
@jasonsteakums You can tell the academics who play D&D because of how they pronounce this new tool that university libraries and grant institutions keep pushing us to use: https://orcid.org/ ('orc-eye-dee') (Everyone else pronounces it like the flower, 'orchid').
Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."
Since there's nothing in my profile so far, that's pretty easy to do:
#hobbyelectronics
#robotics
#cats
#linguistics
#academia
#sydney
#digitalhumanities
Oops, boosting doesn't work the way I thought it would. I thought I'd get a chance to add a comment, like in birdspace.
@eskay8 Reduce the text size to 90% and it will fit (did for me, anyway). (Ctrl-minus)
Had to go out to a different campus of our (Sydney) university today, for a professional development training day. These are photos from the campus. It's not exactly an inner-city feeling. (Yes, the second picture is full of kangaroos.)
