🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@social.cleverlibre.org

Welp. I blocked my first domain "freespeechextremist". I'm all for free speech -- I consider myself a 'free speech absolutist'. However, I have no patience for idiots who make social media accounts just to see how uncomfortable they can make others feel.

My #introduction: I am a #philosopher working at the University of Sussex and Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the #UK.

My research focuses on topics on #health and #medicine across #epistemology, #moralphilosophy, and #politicalphilosophy.

Interests includes: #planetaryhealth, #environmentaljustice, #healthdata, #indigenousphilosophy, #sustainability, #climatechange, #scicom, #liberty, #property, #historyofscience.

Hi everyone 👋🏻, I'm a statistics postdoc based in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 at the Center for the Molecular Prediction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease https://predictibd.dk/

@freemo Hi! I'm not a scientist, per se, but an infra software engineer. EM is just trash. He's making some pretty dumb, destructive decisions about the bird site.

@jacob FWIW qoto.org has a quote tweeting function, so it's possible to implement in Fediverse even if it's not in the default feature set.

I think their codebase is open source, not sure if it's designed to be adopted by others, though. @freemo would know.

@freemo … now I wanna geek out over data. Someone got stats to share on this? 😁

Hi all,

Software developer, Linux user, and keyboard geek here.

I just signed up and I'm trying out Mastodon.

Just looking to see how it goes.

Hello #migration from the bird. I am interested in all things #medicine, #academics, #alt-academics, #analytics, and #outdoors. Share your #nature #hikingadventures #hikesandhiking #hike #camping #sailing #hunting

I haven't done an #introduction so I guess I should introduce myself.

My name is Tom, I'm a #Data and #Cloud platform engineer at #NASA JPL and I've been slaving away there for the past 6 1/2 years.

I also enjoy educating, open science/data and #opensource software in my spare time.

I'm also #autistic to add to the entertainment.

#introduction Hello, I'm a biochemistry MSc from Poland hopefully soon to start a PhD in Germany. I love tabletop RPGs, shitposting and raccoons, if you haven't yet noticed. Agent of the Demiurge Yaldabaoth.

Hey Everyone since this happened on Twitter we figured we'd also start a Mastodon account so here we are 😅

Expect all our episodes, memes and assortiment of content to make its way on here as well 😀

#introduction Studied biology as a youth. First computer I touched was a PDP 11. Entrepreneured until I got it dot bombed out of me. Did most of the jobs there are in software development. Currently a soon to retire scrum master. Fart around with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. Mostly just burning my fingers with a soldering iron. Words of wisdom, "Get off my lawn!"

@FailForward @freemo @unamanic Yes. I've been looking forward to this since April.
It's only been a week, but it feels like a month, and yet I am giddy with excitement and laughing rather than wanting the experience to end. In short, watching Twitter die makes me feel like I'm a child again!

#introduction Hello! I am an Associate Professor in Management and Project Management. I am interested in #complexsystems #systemsthinking #complexadaptivesystems #sensemaking #criticalrealism #qualitativeresearch #methodology and #management #projectmanagement #entrepreneurship #noise #decisionmaking #conflictresolution #negotiation I have two book chapters with #springer numerous others with #igi a tutorial on #netbeans #java and a tutorial on #contentanalysis in a research methodology book. I teach Principles of Management, Project Management, Contemporary Issues in Management, Managing Complex Projects, Applied Research Methods, Qualitative Techniques, and Critical Review of Literature.

@freemo I’m here because of, I was never very active on Twitter but I can’t continue to be the source of this fool’s ad revenue. https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/04/elon-musk-twitter-layoffs/amp/

#introduction I’m a Prof at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi), UofG, Scotland, studying human memory. My lab uses a range of tools, including behaviour, EEG/MEG, fMRI and intracranial (single unit + LFP) EEG recordings, trying to understand how the human brain reconstructs past experiences from memory, and how our memories change over time and when we repeatedly remember something.

Interesting fact of the day: The same effect that cuased light in a prism to split up into different colors is what ultimately caused the first transatlantic telegraphic wire in 1858 to fail.

Morse code is transmitted as on-off signals, effectively square waves. Square waves are in fact made up of many different frequencies. Like in a prism different frequencies move at different speeds through a wire. Therefore as the on-off pulses traveled through the transatlantic telegraph wire the signal spread out like it does in a prism and ultimately the pulses would overlap and be indistinguishable.

The effect was so extreme that it took a message of only 98 words (the first message sent) over 67 minutes to send one way and a whopping 16 hours to confirm the message.

Whitehouse, a doctor with little mathematical understanding, thought he could solve the problem by increasing voltage, which we now know was a futile effort. He increased the voltage to the point he managed to short out the cable entirely and made it useless. However Lord Kelvin had already warned of the problem as was ignored and he came up with the law of squares to describe the problem which later was refined to give us the telegraphers equation. The telegraphers equation is still used today to model feedlines in radio transmitters and receivers.

One of the nicest things about Mastodon so far is having a very scientific and academia focused feed where I can discover and follow those working in fields where I don't have a background.

It is wonderful for seeing the diversity of research and being inspired by the works of others.
