Hey @ChaseSupport maybe explain why your service agents are okay with a new mom and a four month old being stranded at an airport for hours on end?

[Nidhi Angle @nidhiangle94]

@Chase @ChaseSupport has the absolute worst travel portal in the world. I have never seen such bad service in my life. DO NOT EVER EVER book flights (esp international travel) using the Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel Portal. They have ruined my trip to India. Thread below: ⬇️

-to try and create a space that demystifies some broad ideas from HPSS’s lessons for science educators and for folks just plain interested in science and/or story telling. No technical jargoning or heavy philosophy. RT/reply for further story ideas, I’d love to explore them!

Haven’t been super active on here - but here’s something I’ve been working on to rediscover some of the love I have for my work and share with a wider audience. https://t.co/P2ciPBzutQ

On this day, exactly 100 years ago, an unknown 28 year old Indian Professor of Physics wrote to the most famous scientist in the world. And got not just a reply but an enthusiastic collaboration. A thread. @GoogleIndia

Anyone else get into summer where there’s a lot of work that’s all due but nothing is really DUE for a few weeks and so now your brain can’t decide which of the due things you want to do first and you just sit there with decision paralysis and glazed over eyes?
Just me? Okay

In Philly, you only see the absolute worst or the absolute best of humanity. I don’t think there’s an in-between.

My colleague's son has got 6 out of 20 in Hindi test. His Korean classmate has got 15 out of 20. Parents are celebrating it as achievement against Hindi imposition. These dravidians are impossible 😂😂

Former President George W. Bush: “The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”

…and who can be a scientist that embraces the diversity and subjectivity of identity in general and science in particular”
Probably the most important NOS paper in recent times by @lucyavraamidou and @schwartz_renee that I’ve cited about 5 times in the past months 😅

[Ashwin @AshwinMohan02]

“In times of crises, power speaks to power, with scientific literacy pushed aside or misrepresented. We recommend another approach: Disrupt the incompatible view of NOS to focus on a more holistic, inclusive, and equitable representation of NOS…

@vkatariya8 Now to get drunk and ruin (make better?) a local school ceremony with some histrionics, and I’m giving myself a hyphenated last name to complete the transformation

I didn’t know this is how I was feeling, but this is definitely how I’m feeling

These days sometimes I feel like Gussie Fink-Nottle

[Ashwin @AshwinMohan02]

@vkatariya8 Live away from most of civilization, weirdly obsessed about a specific topic that no one else cares about, social faux pas galore, and I recently discovered I have the same glasses as the Fry & Laurie version of Gussie from the show 😅

Today I spent 20 minutes explaining supply and demand and the transportation crisis to my cat to explain why I can no longer get his favourite cat food brand and now he’s radicalized and refuses to beg for treats and I’m so proud of him

[Ashwin @AshwinMohan02]

The snobbiest reason I get annoyed is when public bookstores have a philosophy section and it’s just theology or self-help books. Wanted a book on dialectics and now I’ve learnt some monk sold some Ferrari? Why?
