Join me in celebrating a big happy birthday for famed NASA flight director Gene Kranze

Not everyone knows but the Saturn V rocket first stage was powered 99% by the F-1 engines and 1% by fear of Gene

Perfectly normal. In fact, some of the most famous ships in the world have tilted like that. Titanic, Lusitania, Tirpitz, Yamato, Bismarck. It's joining a rather elite club, I think.

[Prof Folúkẹ́ Adébísí @folukeifejola]

Professors shall be addressed thus: "Your eminence, most gracious of intellectuals, full of wisdom, and knowledge. Conqueror of textbooks. Defeater of articles. Overpowerer of footnotes. Beloved of REF. First of thy name. To you, I abase myself and humbly bring my application."

[Jake Thrasher @ThrashTalk]

NEVER ever say:

"Hi prof"
"Hello"
"Dear Professor"
"Greetings of the day"

Instead use:

“What’s crackin’, dork”
“Howdy partner”
“Salute plurimam dicit. Si vales, bene est, ego valeo”
“Breaker, breaker, science shaker”
“Honk honk!”

Location of a debris field by USCG is the latest grim development in this Oceangate story that is sure to be a cautionary tale in engineering classrooms for decades

Engineering ethics is the most important component of any engineering curriculum

This is how a human finger interacts with a 60GHz electromagnetic wave! A mm wave radar can precisely track and capture the smallest kind of motion!

Simulating a 60GHz mmwave patch antenna array in openEMS! PCB design is from @TXInstruments AWR6843 eval board. This first animation shows the E-field propagation for a single channel, more animations to come #b3d #Simulation #antenna #animation #radar @altium @hackaday #openEMS #electronics #Engineering #educacion #kicad

Less radars more crashes. Radar isn't easy but it certainly is an important part of any autonomous vehicle that needs to operate at night and in all weather conditions https://t.co/Nvm1emoELa

I hate to reduce the debate over international students to economics because they enrich our universities, cities and communities in so many other ways.

But @RussellGroup's Tim Bradshaw is right - in purely economic terms, cutting their numbers is nonsensical.

This is me after 1 dose of Pfizer on 1/5/2021 in the hospital. I was a very healthy 45 year old who managed a surgery center. Two years later I am still having major issues https://t.co/al2yTTga5j

I'm at @UKDRI annual #Connectome conference in Brighton. What amazing science! We are bringing some engineering to the mix with the #bioelectronics team and Care Research & Technology @adyrapeaux @c_hadjipanayi @alan_bannon @Maowen_Yin @GhenaHammour @NiroYogendran @HaarShlomi

"International students [...] make critical contributions to the UK’s science talent pipeline and to innovation." 💡

I am in London. The Queue has sealed off Heathrow. We cannot get out. We cannot get out. It has sealed the bridge and Second Hall.. We are still holding but we cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums, drums from the Palace. She is coming.

@jeremy_fielding While trying to fix a networking bug via an SSH session I reset the servers ARP cache, which reset all networking, including the SSH session I was using... Classic "saw off the branch you are standing on" moment.
