.@CBCStephenQuinn your beard game is on point tonight

[Joss Ives @jossives]

Dear hive mind. Any suggestions for free appointment booking software that supports multiple bookings per time slot?

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@CapitalOneCA I would like to provide some negative feedback related to my experience with one of your online chat agents

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@UBCPhyssoc When is your Physics 117 review session? I may want to send some students your way

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@mike_hengeveld Just saw a JPEC 2014 T-shirt on the bus

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@physicsfuntime @bcphysics There's a lot to be said for giving ppl the chance to gel as a group before forcing them into the next one

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@physicsfuntime @bcphysics Student attitudes toward group composition depend heavily on if you chose the group or they did

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@watzalt Oh man. Captain Jack's shirt is ridiculous (and so is he)

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@ModernHydra @bcphysics @TeachWright And you can always make your tests just a bit more difficult such that there is no net effect on grades

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@bcphysics @TeachWright @ModernHydra Common weighting at UBC is 85% individual and 15% group, but some folks go as far as 50/50

[Joss Ives @jossives]

Gave a very fun Two Stage Group Exams Workshop this morning with @ModernHydra at #everylearner17 https://t.co/Fj70NN28Si

@hummus_monster @ng_Holmes I am an eternal optimist, bordering on dangerously so

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@ng_Holmes Not quite there. An optimistic person would hope that some productive work will get done over the reading break coming up

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@ng_Holmes manuscript is 80% done. Just need to add some spit and polish and get it out the door

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@StangJared @physicistdanny @piazza It does its job quite well without trying to do more than what it sets out to do

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@simonpbates @A_J_Welsh @joannealisonfox was it playing Twister during a workshop that got us on the knotty list?

[Joss Ives @jossives]

@StangJared @Annakwood Great minds! I had just flagged that one as well

[Joss Ives @jossives]

Really disappointed that open-access physics journal SciPost has not PER https://t.co/uUmzVyjEgq

Game night at #AAPTSM16 tonight 8-11pm in the Royal Room in the Sheraton being organized by awesome folks I know. Come join

[Joss Ives @jossives]

How much introduction detail do people like to receive from the session provider? #AAPTSM16 Personally I prefer name and institution only
