Pro WFH writing tip:
1. First, open a blank doc.
2. Walk to the kitchen and eat several handfuls of dry cereal.
3. Return to desk and stare at doc.
4. Go back to kitchen and eat more cereal.
5. Repeat until the fear of impending deadline overwhelms you.

No creo que tener una plataforma implique tener la obligación de opinar. Si están hablando sin conocimiento suficiente y no están promoviendo un debate de ideas… terminan siendo una herramienta más (y muy poderosa) de desinformación.

@rundav5 @ApplePodcasts Llevo mucho tiempo pensando en cambiarme pero no quiero perder todo mi historial 😭. Sería una tarea eterna pasar todo. Pero va a tocar!!

The new @ApplePodcasts update does not save my progress! Even if I just pause the podcast.. I constantly have to go find the episode and the spot where I left off. Anyone else experiencing this?

And.. a big shout out to @LabMarsh, Matt Stanley, and especially @brendawyang for believing in me when I was just a hungry student curious about how people read graphs. Thank you for guiding me and showing me that research can be fun and beautiful 🤩

Currently reviewing a paper for a French-language journal and I just learned that the French call a "pie chart" a "camembert". Now I want to know what pie charts are called in other languages so we can make a delicious chart of the results.
