This was inspired by @Whitaker_Lab member Yini sharing her recipe of coffee AND tea!! Check it out! #SocialDistancing #CoffeeChat #ALLTHECAFFEINE!! 😅😅😅
We're absolutely starting to see this in our community of scientific community managers - members are being asked by their orgs to give demos of remote working software, to help set up new ways of meeting, & to teach others about engagement etc.
Follow the brand new twitter account of the @turingway🥳 #TuringWay is a lightly opinionated guide to #DataScience and research developed for and by the growing community of contributors. 😇💖 I will be working on this project w/ @kirstie_j, @Whitaker_Lab, and hopefully YOU 👋
Our lab holiday dinner was fantastic! @KonradWagstyl was photographer but you can see @IslaStaden @Maxi_Macki @PHerterich @sophieadler Yini @drsarahlgibson @yoyehudi @kirstie_j & @abc782544421! We missed Georgia @MalvikaSharan Louise & @emdupre_ 🌺 Happy holidays everyone! ☃️🎄
On a day like this, stuff like that makes me despair even more. But I know I'm blessed with a network of amazing people and I will get to see some of them tomorrow at the @Whitaker_Lab dinner and that's what will get me through the day today ❤️ Today is a day to show kindness!
