@SFU Love to live where bears do.

@EstebanMoralesV I just asked ChatGPT to summarize one of my own articles, and the summary was SO off the mark I couldn't believe it. If my students try to save effort this way they will be in for a very rude surprise.

Sad to bid farewell to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, who was Queen of Canada for as long as I can remember. I was also proud to be present when my wife swore the oath to her at her ceremony to become a Canadian citizen.

@VicariousLee Relatedly, one of our SFU students who had two children while a PhD student wrote an excellent dissertation on breastfeeding: https://t.co/fup2xwarb9

[SFU Faculty of Graduate Studies @SFU_GradStudies]

Congratulations Dr. Ram on receiving your doctoral degree in @sfueducation! Ilana, we are happy to help celebrate your achievement during #MySFUGrad and welcome you to @SFUalumni.

@nancybaym I agree with the legion here. You are NOT alone.

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@EstebanMoralesV Yes! This means you are really listening. Keep at it -- you will be rewarded, and your participants will be as well.

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@EstebanMoralesV Remember that your interpretation of the data starts while you are transcribing. You are always more than a machine -- you are a researcher who is interpreting traces of other human beings' activity. Transcription involves giving meaning to your participants' contributions!

This humble Dodge Caravan, number M85, is a messenger from the past -- here to remind us that before popping the question and getting engaged with the world, SFU thought about it for a couple of years. Ah, youth! #SFU

Congrats to Dr. Suzanne Reinhardt @EdTech4Funky1s for her successful doctoral defence! I'm proud to be associated with her grounded theory contributions to understanding of how instructors practice trauma-sensitive teaching both online and in-person. #edtech #sfu #traumainformed

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@EstebanMoralesV I agree, ILL rocks! I once requested a physical book from Alberta and had it in Burnaby 2 days later!

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@perfinker @SFU @sfueducation Proud to be counted with you, Gillian!

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@SFU I care a lot about people wearing well-fitting masks, but also about great architectural photos, of which this is one. Kudos on both counts!

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@VicariousLee Um...time to give up Twitter, maybe?

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

Deeply disappointed that the BC NDP rammed Bill 22 through the legislature, deleting British Columbians' guarantee of public agencies' data about them stored on Canadian soil. Data residency should be a fundamental right for all Canadians. #privacy #Canada

@eduwonkette_jen Not personally, but a colleague reported having a paper under review for a year, only to get a desk reject.

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@philiplbell Try Dana Cuff's 1991 book, "Architecture: The Story of Practice". Alain de Botton must have something to say on this, though it may have to be read between the lines of two of his books, "The Architecture of Happiness" and "The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work"

My 20-year-old is working hard on digital detox, and just received his Light Phone II today (https://t.co/QcVnpwhERk). The whole family is excited to explore this minimalist tech. #minimalism #phones

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

@ajpetrosino Thanks, Tony -- looking forward to seeing you again!

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

Really sad to decide the other day that I could not attend AERA 2022 in person. I would have loved to see all my colleagues in San Diego, but with Omicron on the loose, the risk of the border being closed and separating me from my family just seemed too great. #Covid

Of course the experience wouldn't be complete without an old-fashioned shaving brush and soap -- so no more empty cans of shaving cream to throw away! It's cool to shave like Grandpa did.

[Kevin O'Neill @tweetykoov]

Decided to trim waste from my shaving experience a few months ago, and adopted a safety razor from https://t.co/AXkoqdnXhm Great razor, and they even take back the stainless steel blades and use them to make new stuff! #plasticpollution #zerowaste
