Things I don't miss about my dorm room:
• not being able to have candles
• not being able to open my window

Things I *really* miss about my dorm room:
• my mom didn't keep the temperature at 75

Last week, I had the pleasure of teaching a group of ~40 @ArkansasEd high school teachers about cybersecurity through a hands-on #CTF competition. These folks were fantastic, and I'm very confident that the next generation of Arkansan cybersecurity students is in great hands :)

I had a blast teaching STEM lessons at the @QACBSA Pinnacle District Cub Scout wild west day camp this week! We had some crazy heat to deal with, but the kiddos still rocked it :). Fantastic Scouters and future scientists all around in this group 🤠🚀.

In a fantastic panel discussion with @TheRealSpaf, Dr. Melissa Dark, Dr. Matt Bishop, and Dr. Filipo Sharevski, and absolutely fangirling rn :). Lots of great takeaways, especially about the value of ethics, sociology, privacy, and policy in cybersecurity education.

Here's some of the best advice I got when I became a manager last year! It's simple, but considering most people receive no management training whatsoever these days, it's better than nothing. Thread!

Not that I would've bought a subscription had I known it existed but did anyone else learn that CNN+ was a thing through all the articles about it getting shut down after a month?

I've always wondered what considerations go into designing a pen testing contract and how technical details such as scoping are refined into legal language. So cool! Thanks for sharing.

I love the name Wordle but I think the title would be so much more satisfying if it were only 5 letters.

Today, I had the honor of serving as CNSM's Dean for a Day thanks to a fantastic initiative of @UCA_SGA. Community memes aside, it was great to learn from @DrSteve_Addison et al. about UCA's academic administration and the behind-the-scenes work done to support students 💜🐻.

I’m going to randomly pick 3 people who retweet this to receive a copy of the book. I’ll tweet out the winners tomorrow. I’ll also be giving away two more copies later this week complements of @RayRedacted! …and maybe a couple more next week just for university students

I spent last night building a website for an assignment using git pushes and pulls for *every*, *single* change and test due to technology limitations. So anyone looking at my GitHub profile saw 91 git commits with messages that looked criminally insane lol
