@united Update: the team helpfully sent me straight back to the baggage team. @AlaskaAir I’ve learned my lesson I’ll never abandon you again

@united on a gate-checked stroller on our annual trip to NYC (EWR) and the baggage claims agent with the “that’s not my problem” staring at us holding up multiple sleeping babies. Brutal 😭😭😭

[Do Soon Kim @__dskim]

No, I don't want you to safely sign me out. I want to stay signed in. I want to live dangerously.

Taking a long break from all social media to focus on building. Be kind, enjoy the small things, and give more than you take!

Me: “I love spending time with you, it’s my favorite thing in the world.”

2 y/o: “My favorite thing in the world is if you look, my ice cream has three colors and the orange color is my favorite.”

Occasionally someone will ask me how old I am — I let them know that the other night I woke my baby going from the bouncing ball to the rocking chair when my left knee popped, and that describes my age just about perfectly.

@meganjpalmer The Design of Everyday Things. It’s not beautiful, mostly text, but it changed how I see the world.

Going to Toronto. What should I see?

@TejalADesai You gave a talk at Northwestern years ago, and happened to have breakfast with students. I was lucky enough to be at that table, and some of the words you shared really encouraged me to chase what I really wanted, although I faced so many discouraging voices. So deserving.

@ekelsic I also feel there is an interesting comparison of human vs. human + AI, which hints at intuition/mechanism vs. data-driven decision making.

At the end of the day, you should feel free to express yourself however you want to make yourself comfortable, but this comes up often in my circle and I can't wonder why we insist on "full-time" as the descriptor.

[Do Soon Kim @__dskim]

Why do we say "full-time" parent? "Stay-at-home" parent I am totally fine with, but just because you have a job doesn't mean you are a part-time parent...

In the same visit, a man who looked like David Blaine winked at me while I was waiting for my bagel, and said “yours will be out tomorrow” and I had no idea what to say back.

[Do Soon Kim @__dskim]

At a bagel shop in NYC, heard a car honking so instinctively went “beep beep” which is a game I play with my little one. Person in front of me thought I was telling them to move aside so I can get through. NYC is…intense.

[Do Soon Kim @__dskim]

I apologized profusely because I felt it must have been so rude. They didn’t even mind! It didn’t even occur to them being honked at by another human would be considered unpleasant.

@marshal Seattle. No state income tax, summers are perfection, and yes winters tough but beautiful spring and fall to make you appreciate seasons.

If you alter an aspect of translation elongation, and you detect an increase in "translation efficiency" or "TE" by RiboSeq, you have just misinterpreted your data - you've probably detected an increase in ribosome pausing. What you call things matter. Don't ever use "TE"!
