So far I am still 25% into my camera checks and I have caught three separate women hiking wearing nothing but a thong, shoes and a crop top. Am I missing a trend here? They have a backpack on for sure but they are alone and this isn't an easy or accessible trail.

@WestJet Picked up at exactly 7 hours.

[James Benson @cryomath]

Six hours and counting on hold to make reservations on @WestJet because of booking problems on website that helpfully suggests, please phone to complete your booking. This is abysmal.

Thread for nearly-PhDones & newly-minted PhDs interested in Canadian postdocs, about postdoc funding and timing/planning, because this is absolutely "invisible curriculum" stuff that some PhD supervisors don't teach:

@Joe_Scientist That’s what I was thinking. The best thing is you can make it as long as you want.

When you ask the authors of articles in Science® to share their data, which the journal told you was mandatory when you submitted your article, the response very often boils down to GFY. https://t.co/E9XUzljNCT

[Dominic Olver @DomOlver]

Have you ever wondered how much water is in your cell or what percentage of your cell is composed of solids? Well, you can use the Boyle van 't Hoff relation to figure that out, but not all the time!

@Joe_Scientist Would it be in some FCC filing?

Great work and exciting stuff.

@CT_Bergstrom I started my career with the copy machine and citation hunting. I definitely read more superficially now. Now, every once in a while when I go to the library to see a physical journal, invariably I find at least one extra paper in that volume I wouldn’t have found otherwise.
