Hi #introduction from me..!
I'm a Prof of Operational Research at UCL & member of Independent SAGE.
As such, I've been tweeting about Covid for 2.5 yrs now so expect more of that here!
Plus occasional forays into politics, women in science, general science & stuff about London.
Hope I get the hang of it soon!

Spotted on that bird platform (shared by Prof Lauren Ball) and resharing for matadonians!

A Brief #introduction

I'm a scientist wearing many hats: #AnalyticalChemistry #Oceanography #Limnology #ClimateScience ... Couldn't tell you which hat is my favorite (the others would get jealous).

#Carbon #biogeochemistry is my jam. #LakeSuperior is my laboratory.

#Introduction

I’m Steph and I’m passionate about precision #neuroscience! 🧠 Namely:
1) 🎯 understanding fundamental #measurement principles, &
2)🧍🏽‍♀️bridging #idiographic and nomothetic approaches for more precise individual-level understanding and prediction.

I have a few identities—engineer, neuroscientist, and entrepreneur—and an inclination towards #statistical & philosophical issues in psychology & psychiatry.

Excited to connect 👋🏽

PS On the job market & open to opportunities 🚀

#introduction toot - I'm an assistant prof. of sociology at the University of Haifa. I study #algorithms / #data / #AI from a qualitative, critical, empirical perspective.
My current projects include algorithmic production in #SiliconValley, data #infrastructures in Israel, Israeli #surveillance firms, #aiethics, #microbiome science, and more.
In a previous life, I also wrote about #ptsd, online #depression, #emotions, and more.
Oh, and this 👇 is Bella.

#Introduction time! 👋 I am an #engineering #professor at Queen's University in Kingston, #Canada. My expertise is in field and mobile #robotics. I have a newish interest in applications of #machinelearning to #control and #navigation problems. Previously worked as an #engineer at #space #robotics firm MDA. Also currently serve as Director at the Ingenuity Labs Research Institute. My #math #teacher wife and I have three #kids and we enjoy #golf.

*Introduction post*

I never really got into Twitter, but apparently I’m not missing much more than a sea of dumpster fires. I’ve heard good things about #Mastodon and I’m curious to see how it sizes up against other platforms.

I am a Scientific Research Analyst (short answer is examining #research #metadata) doing #datascience and #data tasks in #python and #rstats.

Other areas of interest include #news #politics #publichealth #epidemiology #COVID #vaccines #cancer #science

Are data folks even active here? I hope this community doesn't die out.

Is it me or the interest and the fun has died down since the high from earlier weeks?

#data #datadon

Spent the weekend creating my own personal #mastodon and #pleroma (a lightweight fediverse server) instances. I started by setting up #yunohost on a #raspberrypi. This made the sysadmin tasks very easy (including app installs with a few clicks). Unfortunately my rpi3 couldn't handle installing mastodon but handled pleroma just fine.

I considered leaving things here, but decided to spin up a debian VPS and see how it worked there. I was able to install mastodon (again using yunohost) on a server with 1 CPU and 2GB RAM. I ran it for about a day then decided to tear it down, reduce the RAM to 1GB, and install Pleroma with Mastofe (so I get the Mastodon look and feel). Seems to be running great and has a super small footprint.

I'll leave this running for now, it's only going to cost $4/month due to the low server specs. The only thing holding me back from moving my profile is how much I enjoy the #hachyderm server!

Fun stuff, if you decide to give this a shot let me know how it goes!

Some hashtags to help orient you:
I work in #VertebratePaleontology, with focus on the #Evolution of #JawedVertebrates and the #FishTetrapodTransition. The timeframe for my research essentially spans the #Silurian, #Devonian and #Carboniferous periods. Much of my work is based on #SynchrotronTomography carried out at the #EuropeanSynchrotronRadiation Facility, #ESRF.

#introduction time (done right):

#Marxist #leninist in the making.

Bachelor in #computerscience, Specialist in #datascience, working as a developer (#C++ / #python) for the last 6 years, focused in embedded Android. Currently taking care of #camera engine in #HAL.

Avid fan of #scifi, #horror and #fantasy books, but also collect #RPG stuff. Musically, I like #progrock and #progmetal, #rap and a bit of #pop. Huge fan of #jrpg.

Huge love for #cats. :D

Usually go by he/him, but whatever tbh.

Mars last night. My first image from this apparition that I'm happy with 😀

8" Reflector at 3000mm

My most recent project is this 2x4 mosaic of Andromeda Galaxy. All in all 40 hours of exposure, 20 in Hydrogen Alpha and 20 in RGB. A 100 MP image, feel free to zoom in! Took months to complete it🔭

Telescope: Tecnosky AG70
Camera: ZWO ASI294 MCPRO
