@flsounds sounds very interesting, but also makes me feel old, like the early 2000s was decades ago or something. 🤣

@flsounds very happy to have you as a follow and I LOVE sharing book recs!

Okay, I'm back. :) A bit over 1K words, so a brief break before diving in again.

Amina Cain’s A HORSE AT NIGHT is meditative and gorgeous and just what I need right now. I want to live in this book.

My wife and I saw this juvenile water moccasin on a morning walk with our dogs earlier this year just before hurricane Ian.

Best Fedi software? Not including forks, just mains.

This is the greatest site I have ever been on. Let's go science!!!

I'm a #choral #singer -- baritone.

I've decided to #sing with #BerkshireChoral again next summer. This will be my third time: a week of Haydn and Dillworth at UW in Seattle in June.

You're expected to know the music when you show up. There's a week of rehearsal and classes, then a performance with an orchestra.

It's a little expensive, but I really enjoy spending a solid week doing intensive music.

Anyone wanting to learn the basics of particle #accelerator #physics and engineering might be interested in this book written by my colleagues at the Cockcroft Institute: "The Science and Technology of Particle Accelerators", by R. Appleby, G. Burt, J. Clarke and H. Owen (Taylor and Francis, 2020). This is available as a free download (open-access) from

@flsounds I was not!

My employer was not hiring me in that capacity, so I was mostly just watching people in my former career try to do things way faster than they can really be done well and trying to decide if I felt left out or grateful to avoid the stress.

It was surreal.

@flsounds that’s a beautiful take!

There’s just something about starting over. Removing the noise. Who do you want to keep in touch with? What feels like community to you??

Ok, here's a third #introduction because I'm about to follow some people who will otherwise have no idea why.

I have a PhD in #AppliedMath. My research was in mathematical models of infectious disease transmission. It's been a weird couple of years with everyone knowing something about my research just as I was settling into a non #academic job.

My current employer calls me an #economist, but mostly I do a lot of #statistics.

Bizarre how different the Mastodon (Android) app and the browser-based versions are.

Interesting paper looking at the effect of the soleus on whole body metabolism. It suggests all muscles do not have equal effects on body metabolism relative to muscle mass. Would affect success of exercise interventions and robotic exoskeletons. Hamilton MT, Hamilton DG, Zderic TW. A potent physiological method to magnify and sustain soleus oxidative metabolism improves glucose and lipid regulation. iScience. 2022 Aug 5;25(9):104869. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2022.104869

I normally put my Twitter @ on my posters at conferences so I can connect with people I meet, or if someone wants to get in touch about my poster later they have an easy, relatively informal way to do so instead of email. Is anyone else considering putting their Mastodon handle on their conference posters?

As I do some last-minute work on my poster for Society for Neuroscience next week, I'm considering putting this with my email address. How about y'all?
