Ohhhhhhh, who got thanked in a huge paper that's also super interesting it's me this wasn't really a rhetorical question

https://t.co/L6seuR47OS

Also please read that paper it's really nice work.

In a wild goose chase, is it the goose or the chase that is wild?

If you think about it, a yin yang is, on average, a gray circle.

Perhaps a little reminder not to be too hard on your past self. Maybe just what I needed today. (3/3)

Earlier today I made a joke to some friends about how bad my first first-author paper was (all the way back in 2012). I had thought it was pretty bad with spurious science and results. (1/3)

But this afternoon I went and looked at it again. It's maybe not groundbreaking, but it's actually a lot better and more substantive than I remembered.

It was sufficiently well written, with good figures and scientific background. It was actually kind of fun to read. (2/3)

When I was young I had a hard time remembering which tap was hot or cold in a sink (because my dad installed our kitchen sink backwards). So I came up with a device to remember.

Hold your hands as in the image. See how one hand makes a "C"? The cold tap is not that one.

Let me tell you what this bird taught me about b2b sales.

No one is stealing this one.

Heyo! For those of you wanting to learn more about medical image processing, here's a great place to start!

Finally getting out on the water a little more after an absence of some years. It's been nice to do something with absolutely nothing electronic involved.

In today's episode of "Rob does things other than science," quail eggs!

Just had one of my afternoon meetings cancelled.

Feels amazing.

Ok, so Judgement Day in Terminator 2 was on August 29, 1997. Therefore, clothing manufacture stops.

This suggests that the post-apocalyptic style would ACTUALLY have been influenced by plaid and JNCOs and not military fatigues.

When I learned that my high school English teacher had never seen #StarWars I wrote Admiral Ackbar into my creative fiction and she never picked up on it.

This is my confession.

[Rob Holt, PhD @HoltScience]

Hey team! If you're interested in #MATLAB for image analysis, maybe give this a look!

Glad to chat about this one!

[Lennart Hilbert @LennartHilbert]

Might be of interest to others in microscopy, mini introduction to image processing with MatLab provided by MathWorks

On my drive in this morning I hit a bump and my podcast skipped at exactly the same time and I was briefly transported to the 90s.

[Rob Holt, PhD @HoltScience]

I do love BTTF though.

I don't think I've ever heard an ACTUAL scientist say

"if my calculations are correct"
