🐱April 14 is #WorldQuantumDay, but it is also the foundation day of Whiskerton, a town for cats.
Read Quantum Kittens to get to know the town's curious cats and learn the basics of quantum computing while you're at it! https://t.co/judxxnh2rB

The book teaches quantum computing concepts through stories about cats. It's also in Spanish and Japanese!

I haven't had a chance to complete it yet due to lack of resources, but these 3 chapters have been used in global learning programs, workshops, and events for 2 years.

Happy World Quantum Day! Now is the purrfect time to learn quantum computing.

If you're new to quantum computing and/or you like cats, I have the first three chapters of a free non-technical, beginner-friendly book called Quantum Kittens up at https://t.co/judxxnguC3

I'm in love with @RadhaPyari's novelette, An Ode to Stardust, published at @clarkesworld. It's a beautiful tale about a station commander with chronic illness and her exchanges with a peculiar race of aliens.

[Radha Pyari Sandhir, PhD / R. P. Sand @RadhaPyari]

@isabeljkim Congratulations!! I love your stories.

"There’s something wonderfully *intimate* in reading 'An Ode to Stardust'. In doing so, I was replenished in some way I cannot quite describe–perhaps you will be, too."

I'm moved by this review, @TheFilipMagnus. Thank you for reading and for your words.✨

[Filip Magnus 🐀 lousy role modelee @TheFilipMagnus]

Today, I look at "An Ode to Stardust" by @RadhaPyari, a wonderful story about friendship and resistance, and living with chronic pain, published in @clarkesworld #197. A longer piece, well worth your time!
