Enjoyed seeing Captain Marvel this evening. Now referring to our cats as the flerkins. Also to satisfy some 90’s nostalgia, I’m playing Secret of Mana on the SNES Classic.
Statuses
Closing my rings
Closing my Apple Watch rings by going out drinking, like a boss! (Which I guess technically I am since I work for myself?)
End of season ski
Tried to do some end of season skiing at Sattel-Hochstuckli, but the snow was too hard for it to be any fun for me. I think this might be it for my 2018-19 season unless we make another weekend trip to the Alps.
SEED Think Tank
The final 2 days of the SEED conference were a Think Tank focused on solving problems in science. 6 teams worked on prototyping solutions. 2 projects were selected for incubation in the next months. #SEED2019
DJ Bobo
15 years after our first stint in Switzerland and DJ Bobo is still a thing! (His name always cracks me up because “bobo” means something like silly in Portuguese.)
SEED Day 2
Cloudy morning in Davos on my walk in for day 2 of #SEED2019. Looking forward to getting hands on with code today after yesterday’s overview of various problems in science.
Problems in academia
I exited academia over 20 years ago. It was depressing to learn that all of the issues that led me to leave still exist today and may in fact have worsened. But on the bright side, many smart people have ideas for improving collaboration, equity, inclusion, etc. #SEED2019
Better view of Kongresszentrum Davos
Better view of Kongresszentrum Davos I took while getting some fresh air at lunchtime today.
SEED Opening Talk
Great opening “rant” by Dr. Jon Tennant advocating for Open Science (i.e. just good science) at #SEED2019.
SEED Day 1
Good morning from Davos! Discussing the future of research infrastructure in science at #SEED2019.
