...
How would I forget?
Your hands where they shouldn’t be
Resisting my escape.
Nauseating.
But what do you understand? Dense.
For safety, closeness is a weapon!
Yet, I ruined it all.

Escape

From the cacophony of office
Into the cacophony of bars
We were in our clique
In some momentary clicks
My friend. Can I call you friend today?

Morang ko Rangeli ta hoina ni ;)
Seems like you have made Mr Rai a gangster.
All the best, and hoping the story is rather _local_!!

online streaming? Would be great to view and take part in QnA from far away!

Ohhh!! The backpacks are filled with instruments to monitor the melting? Would be interested to learn about your work there :)
Enjoy the serenity too!

Woow! ⛰️ The Langtang Valley trek? 😃

Hmm... Fair enough. Anything with the countryname goes in it.
And I don't think I'm hosting myself anytime soon 😅

I tried this a while ago. Using regex filter is kinda easy to implement, but have to keep on monitoring the false positives. How are you handling that?

Keep up the good work!

Ah!

Github repo? Can you post the link?

😊 Sure! It was great seeing you present and answer questions!

Excellent bit on mental health awareness by Norwich City FC.

Just talked with a person in her late 50s about #ClimateChange. Apparently, in her school days, she was ‘taught’ sea level rise would drown Kölner Dom in the 2000s—installed fear. Now Köln Dom is intact, she no longer believes in CC.
Personality & inclination aside, isn’t this #SciComm gone bad?

Can’t solve this one, Tim! (Not so obvious as BCCI’s hegemony?)
You gotta speak out here :P

Don’t say it’s BC*I and its Bakch**i! 🙈😱

Supporting the Netherlands in #CWC23!
Only 10-team world cup is a shame, ICC! What is stopping ICC from including more Associate nations?
#cricket

Brilliantly done! Well-timed inhalations and exhalations :P
Congrats again! And all the best for the next step!

Situations like this one show that science communication is reactive rather than proactive*. Wasn’t it the case during the peak pandemic?
*Ofc, I know there are popular science communicators predominantly on YT.

These are the words of a renowned neurosurgeon on a national TV primetime show in #Nepal. I don’t understand if this doctor is genuinely ignorant of the facts or he just doesn’t care? Authority figures uttering BS is worrisome in general, not just about science.

Bear with me.
- We use ~ <1% of our brain; Einstein may have used more.
- Our brain *completely shuts off* during sleep & under anaesthesia.
- Newtonian physics can’t explain a thing about the brain, we use Q physics.
- Plants are conscious beings

Photograph of a broken car on a cart taken from across the street. Only the left part can be seen. In the background behind the car there are greenish bushes and tree trunks. (Sorry for the not-so-accurate description)

Broken. And broken.

Attended a conference recently.
The response that academics give when I say I’m not affiliated with any university was…well…not great.
Is it so surprising to see someone outside of the university system in a conference? 🦉 Perhaps, depends on the community?

A while ago had an argument on twitter why violin plots are bad. This critique is eloquent (& educational!); I learnt a few things often overlooked. Thanks for sharing :)

The first post here 🟦

I’ll write occasionally about science and sports and some socio-political issues — global and national 🇳🇵
Some ranting too ;)
