NEVER ever say: "Hi prof" "Hello" "Dear Professor" "Greetings of the day" Instead use: “What’s crackin’, dork” “Howdy partner” “Salute plurimam dicit. Si vales, bene est, ego valeo” “Breaker, breaker, science shaker” “Honk honk!”

In your application letter for #PhD / postdoc, NEVER ever say: "Hi prof" "Hello" "Dear Professor" "Greetings of the day" If you do, your email will be immediately deleted by 99% of professors. ▫️ Only start your applications with “Dear Prof. [second_name],” And don’t describe how good you are. Explain how valuable you are. ▫️ [Professionalism] + [Value] can go a long way. Good luck. #phdchat #AcademicChatter

What if our rubrics were wheels instead of linear progressions that give the impression of learning coming to an end? A colleague brought me this idea and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Today we achieved the dream. Made a function called `missyElliott` that takes a data structure, flips it, and reverses it. I have ascended.
