Back from a long morning in the VA's facial reconstruction clinic. The verdict? I'm too aggressive in the gym. Docs tried to talk me into simmering down 🤔 but also reinstalled my prosthetic 🤣

I DID IT! I wrote a single spaced 9pg paper that outlines my proposed grad school research.

Bonus - It's in the format of an R21 research grant! Today's the deadline 😬

AI in everything is going great, part 9486 (Also, is there a class action here #LawFedi #law?)

The fact that we host a "prom" for our pediatric oncology inpatients has always been one of my favorite things to see even if it's an extra barrier between me and food

Currently writing my last paper of this semester, but it seems my fall is already planned. We have a mandatory physiology course for all biomedical engineering grad students. (It's a 6cr class 😱)

I'm told the engineering school contracts this in cycles to be taught by the medical school. Anyone else wanna help me study or play doctor 😜

"The publisher has retracted more than 11,300 papers"

Wiley (the people who write textbooks) closed 19 scholarly journals after being plagued by AI paper mill problems. Short thread here since this article popped up in my reading feed today. #academia #research #science

Babe wake up - new @protonprivacy features just dropped. My fav...

Inactive 2FA: Find out if any of your accounts offer two-factor authentication that you haven’t enabled, giving you a second layer of protection.

New #email feature request. A spam filter that checks to see whether the sending domain has an http server and any valid website whatsoever or it's just a spam factory.

Nothing to see here... Just Google removing the API that legislative advocates use to contact representatives LoL

WOW! Installed Thunderbird just before the weekend started and set my inbox to trust SpamAssassin for junk filtering. Only noticed my desktop has been amazingly quiet after checking mobile notifications. Is K-9 Mail the Android #email app for #mozilla?

Bad take on #trump? Or a good egg with people other than Trump on her mind? I'm on the fence but leaning good egg.

Today's questions for #Mastodon

Email Clients?
I'm looking for Outlook/Gmail options for Win10/11. In the past I used #Mozilla thunderbird but I need calendar integration. What else is out there that's good for Exchange/O365 #email

Hey #Mastodon I'm looking to ditch Google analytics for better #privacy. Anyone have feedback on Clicky, Piwik, or another option?

Seems I have a mild tear in my calf muscle. I will not be seeing a doctor and I will not be taking any further questions.

Sharing what's going on with actual #fediverse #censorship happening over on #threads. Zuck has beef with a small #nonprofit newsroom calling out #meta #facebook ethics and they've decided to try wiping it off the internet. Tell all your friends to bring their receipts to #mastodon before they're gone too

Just leaving my first acupuncture session. That's wild, mostly because I'm a grown ass adult with an unhealthy fear of needles.

And yes, I got the earthquake acupuncture upgrade package for free LoL #NYC

Smootasaurus, 2 months ago to random

Taking a break from writing a paper due Monday (and midterm studying) to read and connect with other people. Been using my prototype Mastodon client and starting to dig it. Unfortunately I'm also frustrated with improvements I haven't made yet, like the feed UI and handling media posts. But definitely opening it to other users this spring!!
