We are excited to announce that the next #AEESP Research and Education Conference will be held on May 20-22, 2025, and hosted by the North Carolina Consortium of Universities (Duke, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Chapel Hill, NC A&T, and NC State) at Duke University’s campus in Durham, NC.

I'm using a piece of data analysis software that I haven't used in many, many years. It appears every design decision was targeted towards 'pisses me off'. Even little things: copy is alt+W, paste is ctrl+Y....

Had one gnarly section of a draft I'd been avoiding all week, it was finally the last bit to tackle. Took me 15 minutes in the end. Not sure if that's because I'd let it simmer in the back o my mind or if I should've eaten my frog first.

Friday grumpy rant about a 'flow chart with pseudo-code' as an SI figure not being the same as publishing code & data and the academic reward structures which actually incentivize such behavior.

Final stretch for this microbiology #Kickstarter! We are telling the forgotten story of Fanny Angelina Hesse & agar with a graphic novel: kickstarter.com/projects/jens-… If you'd like to back this project, the deadline is Sat 20th July at 12 PM CEST! 🧫👩‍🔬

Wastewater microbiology checking in.

If you're writing a paper on "the effect of foo, bar, and baz addition on..." in reactors, I'm asking you to label the reactors"Foo-enhanced" or at least "R-Foo" instead of just "R1, R2, R3". Signed, someone tired of backtracking or maintaining an unnecessary mental index.

Pretty cool analysis of the cultural evolution of filled pasta (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). Gotta try them all...

Me, as a xennial, after making one (1) phone call which took 5 minutes (not counting the four hours mental prep).

Working with an OK code library, but it most of the user community is in Discord. All the useful discussion isn't being indexed , so it's a PITA to google what I assume are common newcomer-to-framework issues. No, joining every rando discord is not the sol'n.

Ok, this framework is used to make charts and there's an option to display axis labels. The default is 'False'.

The academic urge to name your kid "Test Student" just to mess with Canvas.

I haven't used this in a while for reasons, but I hadn't really migrated to that other place academics have gone. I've been updating my social media with my new job position and that's spurred me to get more active over there. You can find me at the same username.
