@catlynne333 Oh, sorry! Trying to see what I'm doing while taking photos in a crowd is tricky! :)
Still early here at UC Berkeley, but a crowd gathering. Nice mix of many ages! #climatestrike
There was just way too much news today to absorb, OMFG
Really excellent article on the ugly effect Jeffrey Epstein had on science scholarship/research: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/19/20870858/jeffrey-epstein-science-philanthropy-donation-prestige-mit
@WeThePeople Absolutely terrifying
Had a meeting scheduled with a new client, but got blown off. Doesn't happen often, but I'll use it as an excuse to go to a cafe and relax
@Irishroze @leejackson @richieleyland @TheAbbotTrithemius @Museek @lyrical_hulk I would be very interested in such a hashtag! Sounds like a great way to keep up with creative people
@corlin Very interesting link! I started exploring some of the articles mentioned by the author, and they're fascinating

@Trance As a Californian, I vote earthquakes > hurricanes any day! Sure, I might get horribly crushed in The Big One, but I don't have to worry about it happening every single season! (Besides, our faults are what make all of our beautiful hills.)

A Mathematical Model Unlocks the Secrets of Vision.
Mathematicians and neuroscientists have created the first anatomically accurate model that explains how vision is possible.
By Kevin Hartnett
This is the great mystery of human vision: Vivid pictures of the world appear before our mind’s eye, yet the brain’s visual system receives very little information from the world itself. Much of what we “see” we conjure in our heads.

Had a few errands to do near campus today. So many new students wandering around with their parents! It's fun to see so many cheerful faces as they launch into a new phase of life
@Autumn @CorreroM @voltronic I'm always interested in good backpacks!
@gshevlin This does seem very likely
