Despite stating that I was traveling with cats when making reservations for our cross country move and following La Quinta’s policy, they called just before check in to say they were cancelling our stay b/c despite what their site says, they don’t allow cats.

💡A tip I learned as an early PhD student💡As you read studies that publish measures or create surveys where you've gone out and found survey measures, compile them into an easy to use repository or file. I have a measures codebook that saves so much time when I create surveys!📈

And I know I’m not the only one with six gazillion unusable masks because they don’t fit quite right and there’s no way to know that before buying them and often you can only get them in multipacks. 8/8

But clearly (to me at least), this is now more of a long haul situation. We will undoubtedly get to a point where we don’t need to mask as much, but I anticipate continue to mask on buses, in stores, etc., quite possibly for life. 7/8

And it's possible it would all eventually bring in enough income that you could expand to train the algorithms with actual fit testing data of different masks on different face shapes, ages, etc. 4/8

You could sell sample packs of that had one each of a bunch of different masks, and offer people a partial refund or a discount code if they uploaded ratings info and pictures of them trying on the different masks to help keep training and improving the algorithms. 3/8

ideally holding up next to their face a postcard with a ruler printed on it, and then have it give recommendations for the masks most likely to fit well. You could monetize it with referral links to vendors selling those masks. 2/8

If I had better machine learning skills and a better understanding of image processing, I would want to create a website or app where people could upload two pictures of their face, front and side view… 1/8

I really appreciate that the authors conclusions here were that the diaries and actigraphy tell us different but each valuable things, rather than just assuming that the self report on the diaries was less accurate or valid.

Up too early despite the ambien 🙃 My pandemic memoir Year of the Nurse is out now, and I'm really counting on word of mouth because I'm publishing it myself. It needed to get out there faster than trad pub could've managed. amazon.com/Year-Nurse-Cov books2read.com/yearofthenurse

Hey Mike Huckabee, I asked around and Coke likes me, Delta agrees with my values, I wear Nikes and my hometown Dodgers won the World Series. But it’s not because of my ethnicity. It’s because I’m not a sh*thead like you who is adding fuel to anti-Asian hate. #StopAAPIHate

I’ve decided to “identify” as Chinese. Coke will like me, Delta will agree with my “values” and I’ll probably get shoes from Nike & tickets to @MLB games. Ain’t America great?
