For @BioDesignCenter at @BU_Tweets fall symposium, we'll do lab Family Feud. We've created a survey. Please circulate as widely as possible among bio researchers. Can have non-bio folks, but it will throw off responses to things like "Name a temperature" forms.gle/rYNVhjhJs1ievpGM8

I don't care for the look of this building, but it's useful for knowing where Union Sq, Somerville is from a distance and, I must admit, I am often shocked at where it is when I see it!

When writing with a Boston accent, why do people write BASSton and things like that? It is not how people with the accent say it and the name of the city is not a good word to demonstrate the accent anyway.

very disappointing mango season for me thus far. couldn't spend the money back in Feb/Mar for magozz from S Asia and the stuff I've seen in the stores here in the Northeast US is even worse than usual!

An age old question: what is the better long, slow, water-titled song off the second side of The Cure's Disintegration, "Prayers for Rain" or "The Same Deep Water as You"?

What's the top city for actors with New York accents portraying would-be working class natives of the city? Philadelphia? Chicago?

Teaching/reading teaching statements from faculty applicants, many people believe mere lecturing is not effective. However, we still formally present scientific work via "talks". Have folks seen research presentations that strongly challenged that paradigm? What did they think?

Making spotify list with those particular late 70s/80s guitar solos--distorted mid-range tone, bebop-inspired chromatic transitions, and played by people like Larry Carlton. Very niche, but if you can contribute, please do. @DocEdge85 you may have ideas: open.spotify.com/playlist/3W…

Watching the new Beatles doc two things are notably inspiring: 1) how bad the songs sound when they first play them and then how steadily they improve them and 2) that English people apparently also make fun of English accents.
