@VirginAtlantic @VirginAtlantic It's been 3+ days with NO updates on our whereabouts of our missing bags. The link provided was broken, and we never heard from the 'Baggage Tracing Team'. We urgently need our bags for vital medicine. Please prioritize and improve communication.

@VirginAtlantic disappointed with the lack of communication regarding our missing checked bags. Waiting for updates has been frustrating. Help a traveler out, please! Urgency is key - my missing bag contains vital medicine for a parent. Prioritize and communicate!

[Venktesh Pandey @_Venktesh_]

@VirginAtlantic Thanks. The link below seems broken. I have messaged the team at periodic intervals but there is no/insufficient response without clarity. Please understand the urgency of the situation.

[Venktesh Pandey @_Venktesh_]

@VirginAtlantic, unfair customer service on missing bags' whereabouts and delivery times despite repeated inquiries. Your delayed flight led to major inconveniences, and the bags weren't transferred. Inconvenience is already substantial. Please communicate and resolve this asap.

The current system of journals and peer review is not serving science. I have therefore resigned from all editorial roles and will no longer do pre-publication peer review. I explain why in this article and in the thread below. Please consider joining me.

@NCAT_AggieAlert In addition to the internet, all of campus teaching and research websites are not working including Blackboard. This is seriously impacting the work for both faculty and students. Any expected reason and/or timeline for fixing? @ncatsuaggies

[Austin Henley @AustinZHenley]

My PhD advisor taught me *a lot*. I wrote down a few of the lessons to pass them on to my own PhD students.

@TaliaRinger I am always in this boat. I try my best to not reinforce the belief system from the past of feeling like an imposter, but it is only human to slip. Plus surrounded by other high achievers in academia tends to be less forgiving. My approach is to meditate & let the thoughts pass.

@CesarNYahia I like the recent practice of stating the hypothesis before a survey is done or the data is collected to not let such factors influence what we interpret from the model.

[Venktesh Pandey @_Venktesh_]

@CesarNYahia True. Traditionally it is referred as the "art" of modeling but statistical basis is important. Will check out the reference 👍
