Hey Evolution! Let’s talk about moderators.
Attendees of the last few in-person meetings may remember that we’ve been using chimes to signal the ends of talks, to help speakers stay on time. You may also remember that the chimes can be…idiosyncratic.

We would like to try real live moderators this year to keep sessions on track. To do this, we need your help! If you would feel comfortable (politely and diplomatically) reminding speakers of the time, please volunteer to moderate. (1/2)

...and in the same vein as all these other research upheavals at various universities, UW has another one, so pay attention all you who report migratory species to #JourneyNorth --it's moving to #MonarchJointVenture. Yes, it's where to report sightings of #MonarchButterflies but it does track other migrations, milkweed sightings and other stuff. Here's the announcement:

If you love butterflies, tell everyone to stop buying produce grown using "neonicotinoids" - they are destroying the butterfly population.

The migratory Monarch Butterfly decline can be linked to insecticides, which contribute to a comparative decline of 33 percent.

People make fun of places like Google for all their NIH software practice leading to duplication of effort, and justifiably so.

... but I'm finna build a 2D matrix of "Why do we use / instead of ...?" for every workflow management solution my company uses (there are 5), and I'm juggling like six configuration languages in my brain to get my job done, so lemme just say there are some upsides to the first question people get hit with when they want to import an open-source third-party thing being "Why do you want to use X instead of modifying the thing we already built?"
