Ooh, re-#Introductions!
I’m Achintya, a Community Manager at The Alan Turing Institute. I’m also going to defend my doctoral thesis in a little under 40 days.
I have a background in science communication (also broadly the domain of my doctoral research) and have a fondness for physics.
I am originally from India, but now live in the UK, after having spent just over a decade in Switzerland.
Slightly longer intro over at https://achintyarao.in/.
Missed my #SummerSchool talk on the #LargeHadronCollider and the #HiggsBoson?
It’s not quite the same but here’s the episode of the podcast I was recently on, in which we spoke about #CERN, #ParticlePhysics, fundamental research, the costs associated with it, why and how do we do this sort of research, and much more!
Feedback welcome; this was a new experience for me.
To everyone who is like 35 years old.
I'm very happy to announce that {chronicler}, an #RStats 📦 I've been working on for 3+ months is now available on CRAN! The following blog post introduces it very quickly:

👋 Hello! This profile will share news and updates from 'The Turing Way' - an open source, open collaboration, and community-driven project which maintains and expands The Turing Way handbook to reproducible, ethical and collaborative data science: https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/welcome #no-xp
Movies, science
Finally watched #DontLookUp last night and I was so uneasy during most of it. Enjoyable movie, but my word…
Etymologies, being “technically correct”, video calls
Boss during a video meeting: “Why does no-one have their cameras on? Are you all in your pyjamas?”
Me, a scholar (but also an Indian): “AKSHULLY, that word comes from the Persian term for ‘leg garment’ and refers to formal leg-wear in the South-Asian subcontinent, so I will say that I _am_ wearing pyjamas, but I’ll leave it open to interpretation.”
