I'm at the Festival of Genomics and Biodata and I'm guessing the organisers just thought why not have an X-wing.
Unfortunately Duolingo doesn't have wookieespeak so conversation was limited

If you've never been to a scientific conference with an X-wing then you're missing out.

Mental health matters. #Movember is working to help men stay mentally healthy, but they can’t do it alone. Please donate to my Movember efforts and support men's health: movember.com/m/15330638

This Movember I've committed my upper lip to help change the face of men's health. I'm growing my moustache for 30 days, and I need your support: https://movember.com/m/15330638

I recently started my own research team and would welcome any ideas for a group name.

We analyse biological data (genetics, methylomics, metabolomics, etc.) using stats and machine learning to improve our understanding of depression in men and women.

A few ideas we've had are in the next post:

I have a joke about academic head shots but it’s like 15 years out of date

Thank you! :)

Hello world.
My name is Dave and I'm a scientific researcher focused on depression. I post science content, but also have a life so that ends up getting posted along with some humour and memes. I used to use the bird app before it was nuked so hoping to find something similar here 🤞

I have a joke about experimental social psychology, but it doesn’t work if you repeat it.
