Hey folks, I'm #newhere , so I guess it's time for an #introduction !

I write #cpp and #python software for data analysis in high-energy physics. I like performance-oriented #software design, I'm learning #rust and I play #ttrpg , currently running a couple of #dnd adventures.

So far I don't really feel like I'm building a good mastodon feed for myself, I guess it takes some work uh -- but at least here on #qoto I can follow other instances without resorting to multiple accounts, which is _so nice_. Thanks qoto admins!

@derickflorian There is definitely a spectrum. My guideline is "when in doubt, use a CW."

What is the best way to use Jupyter notebooks and Github? The diffs in the comments are barely readable, and I recall being some wah to handle it properly. Could somebody help me here?

I guess that I can explain a little bit what I do. I'm a PhD student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. My main interests are Numerical Calculus and GPU computing. I also produce some music and am involved in game development.

I'd be glad to interact with you all!

This is really fun. You get dropped into an SSH session on a server that has some problem, and you have to fix it. Great for practicing your #linux #server debugging skills.

A tip for those who haven't seen this yet. #Mastodon has its own "#verification" system. Adding a link to your Mastodon profile from your website using the rel="me" attribute will #verify that the owner of both the site and profile are the same, and you get this nifty green highlight to show it.

👋 I am Rowan - background in computational geophysics working on open source, science communication tools.

I am now working:
✍️ curvenote.com writing tools for scientists
📖 executablebooks.org the community behind JupyterBook
🛠 myst.tools a community introducing standards for the MyST Markdown

All open source tools, aiming to get science communication out of PDF documents!

I usually post about #OpenScience and interactive communication tools.

#introduction Let's do this!

Hi, I am a scientist at the Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺, with interests in #microbiology, #bioinformatics and #computerscience.

I focus on the human #microbiota and its link with health and other traits. Before that, I worked for 10+ years on #pathogen #genomics, #ecology and #evolution in the UK.

I hope this platform will create a friendly and inclusive academic community!

I would appreciate tips to find people to follow in biology, cs, genomics and anything in between.

#HugOps to @Gargron and others trying to keep mastodon.social (and other Fediverse instances) up and running under the weight of new folks. You are appreciated.
