We made a game where strangers could be nice to each other.

It worked out really well and people still play it constantly.

So we're making a sequel that's bigger, better, nicer and kinder.

poignant moment in clinic last week, I asked my patient with Alzheimer’s disease how he had been doing, and he replied with the first verse of this poem: https://t.co/EraP49Kkz1

@MikePuljung A great regret in my life is not having gone to one of your shows, and not getting to see you hit yourself on the head repeatedly with your mic. I also regret not being able to convince you to use my photo of the moon for your band’s album cover. Is your band still together?

I have no idea who in my Twitter circle are also musicians — I’d love to find out! (I’m a drummer.) (1/2)

People are mean on the #internet. But this online #game — developed by @popcannibal — provides users with anonymous messages of support.

And thanks to #machinelearning, trolls aren't able to ruin the fun. https://t.co/lryhVCnDPV

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.

#Epilepsy fellows, please consider applying for the Susan Spencer Research Training Fellowship. My mom was passionate about clinical research and helping people with epilepsy. A career launching opportunity! https://t.co/TgvPrNnPTg @AmEpilepsySoc @AANMember @SfNtweets @UM_MNI

My husband’s game “Kind Words” is featured in the Smithsonian’s Futures exhibit in the “Futures that Inspire” wing. Yeah, I’m pretty proud of him!

Had a lovely time visiting the Smithsonian's Futures exhibit tonight.

I’m not a dad, but … this did actually happen to me a few months ago. 😬

[Dad Jokes @Dadsaysjokes]

My annoying neighbour knocked on my door at 3:00 A.M. last night.

Luckily I was still awake practicing my drums.
