Passed (with minor corrections).
I guess that’s almost #PhDdone?
Big thanks to examiners/panel (incl. @KarenMoritz2 who chaired all the way through the milestones), my supervisors, CIML kidney lab, @MetroNorthHHS staff & patients, Pathology Queensland & @UQMedicine!

Got a little cultured at the #Monetinparis exhibition!

[Kurt Giuliani PhD @giuliku]

Btw, this happened at the start of several calls at different times during the day…

[Kurt Giuliani PhD @giuliku]

The “we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes” line at #Australian institutions (@Westpac 👀) is getting a bit old, followed by a 30 minute wait to talk to a human. It’s 2023 - how about a call back feature?

Reconsidering whether I want to stay with a big 4 #bank.

Is that the @QueenslandRail commuter network map, with CRR @Translink_QLD?

@DJGould94 You starting a meme fight with @NoahwithFish? Can I sell tickets? Need to fund some research… 💰

[Kurt Giuliani PhD @giuliku]

Wonder if @GidMK might love to take a crack at some of these!

[Kurt Giuliani PhD @giuliku]

I’m not a teacher, nor claim to be a #pedagogical expert. However, surely in a world where #AI is thrown around to support #pseudoscience nonsense, teaching *critical & rational thinking* all the way from 🧒 kindy to high school (& beyond 🧑‍🎓) is even more important now?

[Kurt Giuliani PhD @giuliku]

Oh never mind, the whole @SpringerNature journal is a hotbed of pseudoscience nonsense purporting to use #AI to back up their bogus claims. Wow!

[Kurt Giuliani PhD @giuliku]

Wow - neat study! Better remember to take my Mg supplements after gym then!

I’m normally terrible at spotting these (cudos to Elisabeth for finding these), but even I spotted the cloned areas in the first image! 😵😵😵

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

Oh dear. @MDAndersonNews paper describing a patient with a skin disease.
What is unexpected with this photo?

I’m sorry @elonmusk @TwitterAU @TwitterSupport, this reporting structure for #spam tweets/accounts is just 💩!
I just want to be able to select “spam”, why do I have to tell you that “myself” or “my company or brand” are being impersonated?!? 😡😡😡
Twitter is full of🤖now!
