The idea of hiding and aiding people facing persecution sounds very familiar. I wonder where I may have heard these stories before.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

💯 Academic social media was a game changer for scholars from traditionally less well-connected places.

Twitter revolutionised my career.

I learnt a huge amount about causal inference through #EpiTwitter.

And I met many amazing people who I've since had the joy of working with (Eg @epiellie.bsky.social, @epidbydesign.bsky.social, @robertwplatt.bsky.social, @jlrohmann.bsky.social, etc etc)

Apparently it’s possible to make “non-screen printed” electrodes using a CO2 laser. And guess who has a laser cutter? :)

I haven’t posted here in many months but LinkedIn is so depressing. Elon truly won, we had a space where we could talk without “keeping up appearances” now academics migrated to LinkedIn and it’s all polished edulcorated saccharine. Everyone back in the box. How is everyone getting on here?

Anyone here with experience with sli.dev for making slides using Markdown. I saw one example (by @fonnesbeck.bsky.social) that looked absolutely fantastic, so I'm quite interested in giving it a try. Any experience among my followers?

As always, we advocate for Open Hardware. If you hack something, please let other people hack as well :D
If I forgot your research, please let me know, and I'll add it before submission. 5/5
I'll also tag @adrianbowyer.bsky.social as without him, most of those works would not have been possible.
