Someone's impersonating me on Twitter. No idea who this person is. I suppose there's no good reason for anyone to impersonate me at all - maybe it's a bot? 🤔
If you see this tweet, please help me report this account for impersonation, which is not allowed on Twitter.
Sometimes academia feels like a long series of polite rejections.
Not selected for this. Passed over for that. Paper rejected. Grant not discussed.
I don’t have a neat lesson here.
Just solidarity with everyone who is tired of translating disappointment into resilience.
BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.
The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.
The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.
Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.
Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.

A Japanese manga artist lost his entire Google account forever after he uploaded private files from an old comic he drew to Google Drive.
Google’s AI checked the files and flagged them as not allowed. He asked Google to review it again, but they rejected his appeal and banned the account immediately.
He can no longer access years of his private drawings and lost access to many websites and services that used his Google login.
The artist said this is very embarrassing and causes him a lot of trouble. He warned that it might not happen to people who always follow every rule, but others should be careful.
So Google is scanning files that people upload to its cloud storage even if they are supposed to be private. I wonder how long they have been doing this.
I have four degrees but still struggle with the job market. The global economy is a disaster, and many recruiters are taking advantage of this and treating job seekers like shit. Those who shame unemployed people are so ignorant and evil.
People talk like unemployment is a personality flaw. You can have 2 degrees, 5 years experience, and still get 200 rejections. The job market is brutal right now. People must Stop shaming people for struggling.
Opinion: It all started going bad when people began idolizing billionaires instead of treating them like the greedy, resource-hoarding, human-exploiting, planet-destroying sick fucks they really are.
