One of the most #tragic things about #catbehavior: #kittens can’t seem to resist attacking another cat’s flicking tail, this annoys the other cat, and cats flick their tails when annoyed.

Even recommendations for the right hash tag to reach the crowd that would know could be helpful ;P

Any good recs for a kit/course for learning to use #raspberrypi to make small #robotics, #sensors, #dataloggers, etc? For scientists who code a bit.

@aliceschwarze I'd probably be able to answer this question. ;P

@abrbaird As I'm watching the new series, I'm like, oh good, there ARE women and people of color in Middle Earth! 😂😂 Pretty sure the movies don't pass the Bechdel test but the first episode did. ;P

@rlmcelreath Reminding us you were assistant professor at 29 is as much a humble brag as an honor 🙃😜

Trying to figure out how to get insurance coverage when working academic gigs is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THING😒😒I’ve been doing research and/or teaching consistently for many years now and this has happened more than once. @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #fuckthisshit

[Dr. Kelly Finn @Dolfinnk]

So, I’m watching HBO’s The Gilded Age and am slightly horrified how similar the old money social politics of that era are to the social politics of modern day academia. 😳😬🤢 #gross

How about don’t allow assault to be within the program’s parameters in the first place??? (5/5)

This is disgusting.
Again, a reason to have more diverse teams designing these technologies. It should be straightforward to add a consent feature before any physical contact, especially of this nature. (1/5)

[Dr. Kelly Finn @Dolfinnk]

This echoes the sentiments of ‘don’t go out alone’, ‘don’t dress like that’, ‘don’t drink that much’ if you don’t want to get assaulted and puts the responsibility on women to not get assaulted instead of men not assaulting them. (4/5)

Spicy opinion: Cats are WAY better cuddlers than dogs.

Even if dogs are more likely to “cuddle on demand”, cats are just *better* at it when they choose to.

@abrbaird Lol both?

@mendeley_com, FYI I am still facing negative repercussions from my invite-only group disappearing. So many folders disappeared and I am still trying to remember and find articles again for many topics. Years of #literaturesearches erased. So much wasted time. #majorfail

@profwernimont My kitten has his own academic Twitter :) @expurriment

The crazy thing is, I’m not even that organized. Like at all.

[Dr. Kelly Finn @Dolfinnk]

“You’re more organized so why don’t you do X” actually means “you already do more organizational work so here, do even more.” 😒 #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter #sexism #WomenInSTEM #womeninscience
