Old... learned a lot of stuff over a long time, from a lot of places.
Ranging from :
Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, mRNA, Piaget, and Parallel axis Theorem,
to: Knuth, Translator Engineering, hamming distances, and Transductive Inference. With stops along the way at Virtual Ground, Virtual Synchronous Machines, HPLC, ...
and not an expert in any of it, just been there.
A bit like the ultimate STEM Tourist with a longish sojourn in the education of myself and others.
Also got forced into learning some biostatistics, and dusting off immunology, recently... :(
Where except QOTO could I call home?

Apologies for pinging you (cold calling), but just wanted to say thanks for the thread of yours on tweeter.
I found it very validating, to see what an ethical person with practical expertise does when infected.
Makes me happy with my own life choices. :)
Sarah Palin's recent loss in Alaska could serve as exhibit A in the case that Malcolm Turnbull and I make in @TheGuardian for ranked choice as a possible path forward to fixing America's broken electoral system: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/28/how-australias-electoral-system-allowed-voters-to-finally-impose-a-ceasefire-in-the-climate-wars

I do not personally feel that human extinction is likely, but I do feel we are currently on a highway to messy civilizational collapse and a long dark ages, and the key to getting off this highway is to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and ramp it down quickly. #EmergencyMode

@marcel I'm not depressed by the ones who do the research or actively fight for change. I'm depressed by the ignorance or silence of the rest. I have two kids, I cannot just skip facts about their future just to protect my mental health.
