Scan Day yesterday. Results today: “mixed findings of increased and decreased enhancement while overall tumor volume has decreased. No elevated perfusion suggesting findings are treatment related.” Research Pharma FTW?..🤷‍♂️ 🤞🥳 #clinicaltrial #indigostudy #labrat #BTSM

I’ve had this exact dream going back years. It still pops up every once in a while, even after a #stroke that you might expect would’ve shuffled the dream deck 🤷‍♂️ This is one example of how I knew/know that I’m “still myself” after a #braininjury #BTSM #strokesurvivor #SameYou

Hey @BozemanAirport your new rideshare pickup zone is not accessible for people with #disabilities 😡 A disabled person should not have to struggle with baggage along your DANGEROUS ICY SIDEWALKS down to the new pickup area.

I slipped and nearly cracked my head out there today. I’m not willing to jeopardize my health and safety to get a ride home. Allow drivers to make pickups curbside again. #DisabilityRights #ADA @ashleyjwashburn

This is some nice work! It’s important to investigate uncertainty in model outputs based on variability/uncertainty in model inputs. !I did analogous work for my Master’s degree at UBC ages ago, looking at sensitivity of snow avalanche dynamics models to small input variations.

As a scientist myself I’d love to be involved in research that might help this community down the road. I would like to have access to data with the possibility of contributing to some number-crunching and analysis myself. #BTSM

Replying to @BTSMchat
T2: We’ve participated in several genome studies, and like the idea of helping research. The lack of sharing data back w/ patients and how it is being used by researchers is what can be improved. #BTSM

Dear all, The people of Colorado (the rest of us) are better than this. Boebert is trash. Growing up in Colorado myself I learned that the right way to act when someone is sharing a sad story is: 1. SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH 2. Listen 3. Reflect 4. GIVE THE SAD PERSON A HUG

It’s easy to remember with an acronym: SLRH Shut it, Listen, Reflect, Hugs. *My kindergarten teacher may have omitted the profanity, but we all mastered the lesson the same.

My blood is still boiling over Dumbert’s juvenile outburst. I propose that We The People of Colorado recall her and send her through the system all over again, Billy Madison style. Kindergarten through High School Civics. No shortcuts No field trips. No petting zoos.

A list of micro aggressions to avoid with newly arrived Afghans: This is a delicate period of transition. As an Afghan American, & an academic who has studied the community, I urge you to avoid certain behaviors. These microaggression can be hurtful for our new neighbors.

In a pinch, aluminum from a beer can makes a great compression sleeve to fix a stubborn leak. I learned this hack from a book in High School English class, and it stuck with me. The book was not about plumbing nor beer. In a sense it was about EVERYTHING. Ring a bell anyone?!

It was just a matter of time before Mike Mulligan assumed the identity of a glaciologist and got into the snow pit game.

one year ago I was prepping for brain surgery to remove a large tumor discovered after a seizure. Surgery was *sorta* successful, but then I suffered a stroke 🤕 Yesterday, for the first time in over a year , I managed 10,000 steps on my clumsy feet 🥳 Clawing back! #BTSM

Does YOUR laptop stand calm your mood and make those insufferable meetings, well, less insufferable??? MINE DOES. Don’t skimp when setting up your #WFH space, folks. Get yourself a #PUPTOP ... then wait a year or so for it to settle into a steady state...
