I got a text invitation yesterday and have booked for Oct 14th, which is the first day they're available.

decent prices, too

No that doesn't sound right. October? No I don't think so.

It's been a long week, both in my own work and just... everything. 8 pm Friday night and I'm on my way to bed. 😴😴😴

Congrats! That's a big accomplishment in a shit week.

This post randomly came up on my feed. I'm invested already so now I have to follow you.

Chihuahua is my nemesis word, and I had one for about 8 years. I still need to say "chee-who-ah-who-ah" in my head before writing it down. Great advertisement for my doctoral-level education. 😅

Yes, take care.

Uh oh, two library holds just came ready on the same day. And I'm still working through a stack. #GoodProblemsToHave

And then there was this one, who would run to my lap whenever she needed to puke. 😂

I don't know if the typo "eeek" is intentional or not, but either way I like it. Very fitting.

Ah, fork it. 😠(directed at the news, not at you)

Got it.

I know for some internal competitions, this comes up explicitly as part of the instructions (as in, do not provide your H index for this competition). So it's applied sporadically at least.

She has been found (!!!) and taken to hospital. As reported by Evanston Police.

Congrats! 👏🥂

Final day before the academic year begins. I had some zen time at Boundary Bay before the ChAoS.

I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences

Godspeed to all of us returning to the classroom next week. There are parts I absolutely look forward to, but I can't shake the feeling of the marathon starting, with no breaks or off-ramps until next May. #AcademicSky

Does anyone have experience with, or comments about, the use of ambient AI scribe technology in medical settings? Are there privacy concerns? How well does it do with communication differences? (e.g., language or accents, aphasia). TIA! #AcademicSky

Oh I didn't try the email

Scroll down to long service recognition: mednet.med.ubc.ca/hr/awards-re...

Yeah I think I solved the mystery. I found the website with the details. Our department would have to send a list of eligible people to the Dean's office. I suspect we haven't been in the habit of doing that. I will get on it, as we have a backlog of folks - staff & fac - to recognize at this point.

Hmm indeed weird. It's not that I *need* a plate but it would be lovely to be acknowledged.

Sorry it got stolen, but... how did you get this in the first place? I just passed the 20 yr mark July 1st with FoM and have gotten nothing.

After too many weeks of admin, meetings, grant writing, etc I'm finally up to my elbows playing with data. 🔢My heart is singing. 🫶☺️💃

Heh same. Late great Juliet rocking her bandages and collar. Settling in for a nap.

Water's edge at the ocean. Small waves. Seaweed visible below the water. Mountains and blue sky in the distance.

Spanish Banks low tide walk yesterday did not disappoint. #YVR #VancouverBC
