Political stance is far right and far left. Proponent of First Aid Kits and PPE. Easily disheartened by big tech. Partially hinged personality and stubborn enough to not write this in the First Person.
Distrust of Psychology and a fan of satire. I love a good joke and contradict myself. Somewhat serious but easily distracted.

Now that I have moved instances, time for a re-introduction! I am a #LawProf at #McGillUniversity where I teach & research #IntellectualProperty #patents #innovation #trade #GlobalHealth using #transdisciplinary methods (qualitative & quantitative). I have a particular passion for how #OpenScience partnerships contribute to innovation, such as in areas of #MarketFailure like #PandemicPrepareness #AMR, #RareDiseases & #PediatricDieseases
@DoctorRinny Welcome!
Just find a group of like minded individuals and form a community.
Luckily I fell into a STEM heavy group quickly. The key is to find a group you are comfortable with.
Relax and try to enjoy yourself. Peertube instances aren't rare and there is more to discover than that.
@otso @whosthatguurrrl@mstdn.party @freemo Perhaps the perceived hostility being felt has something to do with Old Glory and colors not running.
Despite leadership in the USA for the past several decades, Americans are still patriotic.
For a moment I thought you were mocking our manufacturing. Bearings are precision parts with races.
@whosthatguurrrl@mstdn.party @freemo OMG you just assumed gender!

Doing another #introduction!
I'm a #researcher that uses #ethnographic methods to explore human experiences with emerging #technologies, often forms of #AI, like #robots or #VUI. I'm in a sub-field of #psychology that looks at how people #create & #learn & make #artifacts & am also rooted in #film #theory.
To me #AI is a #communication medium & a #storytelling device. I'm interested in the stories people tell about their #emotional relationships with #tech.

at this point I entirely belive that discord isn't just passively annoying to people who use it, but actively harmful to the internet
it locked instant messaging into a corporation-owned centralized walled garden worse than skype ever did
it destroyed anything that remained of forums and along with them, commonly needed information being publically and easily accessible
it distorted people's perception of what servers and decentralization are in favor of trusting corporations more than regular people
if this isn't intentionally harmful, I don't know what is
@whosthatguurrrl@mstdn.party @freemo You know your toot history is visible right? It's rather revealing. You've made baseless claims about racism and have been causing trouble.

Arab culture was likely adopted during the conquests. Palestinians are Palestinian and perhaps being called Arabs muddied the waters.
@whosthatguurrrl@mstdn.party @freemo Persians aren't Arabs. That area is historically Persian. Arabs are further East.
@freemo Jews were good to me too.

Let me introduce myself! My name is Ilenna Jones, I am a computational neuroscientist with keen interest on how dendrites contribute to a singular neuron's ability to compute functions and learn tasks. I build biophysical models of neurons in #pytorch and use #deeplearning principles to investigate how #neuron models can learn and compute given their biologically realistic constraints.
I'm looking for postdocs right now! Feel free to connect if you're looking for someone like me!
I'm very interested in helping other students find resources and guidance as they consider science and #neuroscience in general. Feel free to connect if you're looking for advice/perspectives!

@freemo I've rarely had bad experiences with Muslims.
@freemo I hope you have a good time.

Since I've been in Israel I have really wanted to visit the regions considered Palestine still (west bank, that sort of stuff). I have strong political opinions about it all but feel i really need to see both sides first hand and interact to really have a right to feel strongly about it.
Anyway one of the Palestinian workers I hired heard about this and invited to take me and show me around. I cant tell you all how excited I am to get to do that soon.
