As fall textbook orders roll in and lead to requests for reprints from the little publishers out there, I've re-rendered four of my book covers.

I updated my spreadsheet yesterday and realized that I've been designing scientific textbook covers as my side gig for 10 years* now.

You might own one of mine.

*10 years ago I naively designed my thesis advisor's textbook in RGB instead of CMYK, in a color palette that does not interconvert well at all.
Was a learning experience.

Just because you're being contrarian

Doesn't mean you have said anything interesting!!!

@HerraBRE Also, "our great-grandparents by and large had this sorted" is, put mildly, a really bad hot take. If all your Respect, Manners, Courtesy and Professionalism literally only apply to White Men, what's that worth?

I know you've been shouting down this argument before, feel free to block me as well, but it actually is the core of the problem that is addressed by these movements. (Being vague here because there's so many different ones)

#introduction Hello! I'm a UX Writer from Sri Lanka living in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

I'm planning to do pursue studies in Computer Science field.

Happy to be here :)

I can’t believe I laughed at this. What is wrong with me? https://niu.moe/media/eQxZLZzJyqJhEj2v7_4

HeyLow, everyone! I'm a "just-joined" Twitter defector.

I live in Northwest Indiana, which is part of the Chicagoland area. I completed a doctorate August 31 and I'm still tired. Probably because I'm a late bloomer being that I'm 52 yrs old. 😬 My research focus is online learning environments--most recently, online undergraduate student perspectives of faculty behaviors.
I'm attempting to enter higher education as faculty/adjunct faculty/researcher in an online environment.

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m

90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them

Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m

This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

Sod roofs are so lovely.

If your understanding of freedom of speech is ignorant of asymmetric power relationships, freedom and speech will both be short lived. Your platform will be colonized and people of conscience will be evicted

Hello! I'm a postdoc studying antibiotic-resistant infections. I am especially into #rstats, #bayesian models, #ggplot2, #bioinformatics, #python and #epidemiology. In my free time I like consuming #history and #scifi books/podcasts and stress-eating swedish fish :)

Here is a tip to prank your C programmer friends! Give them a book but take off its back cover! After finishing the pages they will continue by trying to pronounce the secret, true names of everything else in their sight!
