[Well-Being in ML @WellBeingInML]

Honest question.

[Well-Being in ML @WellBeingInML]

@pmddomingos why are you so angry all the time?

[Well-Being in ML @WellBeingInML]

@skoularidou Not spooky at all. You're a wonderful person.

[Rosanne Liu @savvyRL]

I felt connected with a few women who showed up at my two "Well-being in ML" sessions @NeurIPSConf yesterday and today — if you happened to be reading this out of some magical chance, DM me. I'd love to set up something more consistent for us to keep in touch. 💕#NeurIPS2021

[Freddie Kalaitzis @alkalait]

@WellBeingInML session later today at 18:00 UTC. Join and share with us how you feel you feel after NeurIPS week.

Intimidated or inspired, all emotions are welcome.

Next @WellBeingInML session hosted by @savvyRL in 1 hour

By "getting together to share and listen" we invite you to share your story. We cannot dispense (professional) advice, but we promise to listen.

We hope to normalise such discussions.

I posed a question to our community,and these were the results.

In any relationship - friendships, romantic, or professional - a self-caring individual would have distanced themselves a long time ago.

I think it touches on something more basic than impostor syndrome.

@natolambert Paraphrasing a friend:
"Not that the results are not completely on point, but these results should be adjusted for selection bias based on the people who follow the account or respond to the poll. Either way it does give an interesting indication."

Still, that margin tho.

[Well-Being in ML @WellBeingInML]

Thanks to @EmtiyazKhan for holding the first session.

Next up, @krikamol today at 16:00 UTC. Looking forward to see you there.

[Emtiyaz Khan @EmtiyazKhan]

So happy to do a session focusing on well being in ML at https://t.co/vJkzSpo9PM My hope is to share and listen, not focusing on advice. If you have stories you would like to share, or listen to others, join me tomorrow.
