Anyone else in SF struggling with @sonic outage for the last 14 hours? No status updates no support - on hold for 30 minutes and counting with tech support. Feeling a lot like cable right now… :(

The #twitterdiaspora is sounding a lot like the shut down of MSFT Silicon Valley c. 2014, no?

Listening to an amazing talk by @dwcheatham about open sourcing DEI - wondering if there is an opposite of micro-aggressions? Micro-goodVibes? Micro-decencies? Use your privilege to be welcoming.

Funder mandates for #openscience is only part of the solution- many funders rely on peer reviews for decisions - so ultimately the “peers” (ie the faculty communities voting on funding-worthy projects) are the ones who need to call for open #cziopensci
And then of course you are talking about culture change - which is a long game that requires lots of different approaches to focus on making #openscience actually better science. Researchers will adopt solutions that make their research better, faster, cheaper.
Just opened up, two new faculty positions joint with Stanford Data Science.
Two new faculty positions now open, joint with SDS. Join @Stanford at the intersection of data science, stats, neuroscience and other fields! More to come. datascience.stanford.edu/abo…

Great to see this broadly available!

Worth four minutes and 41 seconds of your life to listen to this! She is 🔥
Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Wild new research tool alert!🤯If you plug a research question into elicit.org, it uses AI to not only find relevant papers but pulls out ANSWERS from the papers. Adding to my list of things that would've changed the game at the start of my PhD #AcademicTwitter
ALT Screenshot of a software called Elicit. A box contains a research question "do pregnant women have reduced cognitive performance?" and underneath are answers from the literature that address this question.
