Before astro, I worked in cardiovascular surgery. I just got an email that a paper I’m a co-author on (about stenosis) is cited in research involving a pancreatoduodenectomy, the surgical prodedure I had for my #cancer Wow. Research I did may help in my own disease! 🤯#physicist
As I have yet again landed in #ICU, tonight I am on TV 😱

After 4 weeks in hospital I am home 🙏I only have gratitude for all who helped me get better enough to go be a mom again.
My place in the tapestry of life right now, is weaved with other people’s threads. Thank you, I wouldn’t be anywhere near here were it not for you. 🙏

Here’s how to feel like a winner from 3 weeks of being hospital bound: An infection (win!), a blocked bile duct (considering my post-Whipple anatomy, definitely a win in progress). And #radiotherapy as planned (win to not delay it). It’s been rough, sure but I’m here💪💪! #cancer
I am so excited! Today my big boy Xavier is officially a cuber, competing in the 🌍 African Championship. Little brother Cyprian is runner and judge too. Today’s feelings are somewhere between #proudmama and so #happy for them for being so grown up and responsible ❤️
Brand new exhibit opening at the cradle of humankind, curated by the exceptional @KimTommy92 2020 winner of #Inspiring50 👏👏👏

Knowledge can only be volunteered it cannot be conscripted.
As life is all problem solving, join the talks and help solve problems using ML in Africa, whatever your domain is.
You know more than you tell.

This was one of my favourite cartoons when I was a kid. Non-French-speaking friends, please listen to this theme song, just to revel in the fabulously overdone laser 💥💥 💥💥 sounds that defined a decade of pop music 😍😂

Are you interested in looking into the effects of space weather on the movement of marine mammals? Then do not miss this Postdoc opportunity! The project is a collaboration between the @MRI_Whale_Unit and @SANSA7 @SpaceweatherSA

Let’s look at it another way:
It takes 2 days for the average UK citizen to emit as much as the average citizen in Congo (DRC) does in a year.

Cancer is so cruel 💔💔💔
My heart is with Mylah and Jesse, and with Dani.
Cancer should never hit young parents 😢😢😢
Thinking of the Clegg family tonight 🕯
Dr. Suzanne Simard is a hero of our time, a great scientist and a beautiful soul. Her book is a blend of life and science, told with humility and kindness. Just what the world needs💚
Thank you @DrSuzanneSimard for sharing your story with the world 🙏

While looking for paper to do homework with my son, I grabbed this from the “unused meeting notepads” pile (yes I’m that person).
Oh how the world has changed.
