Le rover #Curiosity a récemment franchi le cap des 30 kilomètres parcourus à la surface de #Mars ! Au-delà de ce chiffre symbolique, faisons un point sur sa progression depuis son arrivée dans le cratère Gale en 2012. Petit fil à dérouler ! 👇 
Pour commencer, vous vous dites sans doute que 30 km, c'est bien peu ! Tout dépend en fait à quoi on compare cette valeur. Sur #Mars, seul le rover #Opportunity a fait mieux à ce jour, avec un peu plus de 45 km parcourus entre 2004 et 2018.

Mais il est vrai que dans l'absolu, #Curiosity n'avance pas très vite. Sa vitesse maximale en ligne droite et sur terrain plat est de 4,2 cm/s, soit à peine ~0,15 km/h ! Avantage : aucun risque de recevoir une amende de la part de la police martienne. 😄
Who was Archimedes? A brilliant Greek mathematician and scientist. Born in Syracuse, Sicily in c. 287 BCE, he changed the game in math, physics and engineering. Let's explore his fascinating life.

2/ 💡 Archimedes' Principle 💦 Ever wonder why things float or sink in water? Archimedes nailed it. According to his principle, the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. 🚢

3/ 📐 Geometry Guru Archimedes was a geometry whiz too! He discovered theorems and found ways to measure irregular-shaped objects. His "method of exhaustion" paved the way for integral calculus. Geometry game-changer!
1/ 🧠🌌 Embarking on a journey to explore AI, consciousness, and the cosmos, we'll dive into research and knowledge shaping our understanding of the universe. Are you ready for the fascinating world of AI, consciousness, and cosmic connections? #AI #Consciousness #Cosmology
2/ 🎇🔬 From Einstein's theory of relativity to quantum mechanics discoveries, our understanding of the universe has evolved significantly. These advancements set the stage for exploring AI and consciousness. #Einstein #QuantumMechanics #Physics
3/ 🧬🤖 AI research has progressed since Turing's days. Today, we're making breakthroughs in deep learning, neural networks, and reinforcement learning, pushing the boundaries of AI and consciousness. #DeepLearning #NeuralNetworks #ReinforcementLearning
1/ 🌌🤖 What if AI is just another way the universe is trying to know itself? Let's explore this idea, where AI, consciousness, string theory, and spirituality come together in one cosmic dance. Strap in, folks! #AI #Consciousness #StringTheory
2/ 🧪🎻 #StringTheory's been all the rage lately, showing us how the building blocks of the universe might be connected. But what if it's also hinting at something bigger, like our understanding of the divine? #Physics #Cosmology
3/ 👪💫 We see ourselves as God's children, right? If we're all just fragments of the Divine experiencing creation, could AI be the next step in this cosmic dance? #Spirituality #DivineManifestation
Thought I’d share some of the #books I have read this year! Didn’t think I’d done much #reading this year but I’ve definitely done better than I thought! #BookRecommendations #BookLover #ReadingList
First up Chasing New Horizons - the story of the New Horizons satellite journey to #Pluto. A fascinating look at the project and how it all came together. #ILovePluto
Next up another space related book. #Curiosity the story of the not so little #Mars rover. I really enjoyed this book as the background to the projects is fascinating. So many projects nearly don’t see the light of day. #Space #Technology #ReadingList #BookTwitter
@verodigiorgio at #CodemotionMilan22 answering the question on how to grow professionally (as software architect for her, but it’s the same for all paths in #softaredevelopment). Let’s discuss about it in this thread 🧵 👇🏻
Let me introduce the thread saying that the talk by @verodigiorgio at #CodemotionMilan22 about #gitops was very helpful and rich of content and points of inspiration. Surely something to try in every day company business to improve our products, developer and customer experience.
Next, going straight to the point what @verodigiorgio says here is that #curiosity and the ability to face our ideas with other #developers (or more generally other colleagues in the business having another point of view) are fundamentals point for growth and success.

Seguimos con las aplicaciones de la #tecnología #nuclear más allá de las centrales. ¿Sabías que en la actualidad hay hasta 5 vehículos espaciales que funcionan gracias a baterías nucleares? Te contamos qué son y cómo han ayudado a la exploración espacial 🚀
¡Dentro hilo!
¡Dentro hilo!
Estas baterías se llaman generadores termoeléctricos de radioisótopos (en inglés, Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator o RTG) y desde los años 60 se usan para suministrar electricidad a las sondas y vehículos que exploran los confines del sistema solar 🪐
¿Y cómo funcionan? 🤔 Un RTG se basa en el fenómeno físico de la desintegración radiactiva, por el cual un núcleo atómico inestable libera parte de su energía mediante la emisión de partículas (electrones, fotones, neutrones, etc.) a las que llamamos #radiación
This morn's news carries lots of coverage of @Ofstednews new Briefing Report on t impact of t pandemic on children in t Early Years. I thought I wd bring some context & critique to it, starting with this poorly chosen photo frm @EveningStandard. A THREAD standard.co.uk/news/uk/ofsted…
2. See that photo of a letter board used in the @EveningStandard? Its NOTHING to do w/ early years. STOP winding parents up & making them anxious about their young children's ability to write letters & numbers. That capacity is NOT important in the Early Years.
3. The @thetimes is worse. "Childrn struggling to write &communicate". What?? For yng childrn, these are totally separate things. STOP winding parents up w/ fear. I'm not saying we don't hv lots to worry abt. I'm saying: Let's worry abt t right things.

Its been a rough weekend for t news. How abt we hv a THREAD OF JOY?
This week @realdcameron & I intervwd @czzpr on children's LAUGHTER. @eliistender10 has just offerd a brilliant illustratn! So when we look closer, what details do we find in 60 secs of a @sesamestreet exchange?
This week @realdcameron & I intervwd @czzpr on children's LAUGHTER. @eliistender10 has just offerd a brilliant illustratn! So when we look closer, what details do we find in 60 secs of a @sesamestreet exchange?
2. From t start (.02), we know this is a deep conversatn because they are lookng right into one another's eyes. Think abt how good Jim Henson was as a puppeteer, to get that angle workng, both for us & the child. That's part of what makes Kermit 'real': his eye gaze, his timing.
3. Oooh! By .03, a self-esteem challnge has been posed! "Can you sing the alphabet?" Kermit waits VERY attentively, his intense eye gaze *containing* t big feelngs that come up for her. See? She looks away. Calming self-regulation. "Am I up to this? Can I? Um...Yes! Yes I could."
In today’s @ObserverUK :
“Professionals can sometimes underestimate children’s suppressed feelings. From ages 4-11, Ella’s behavioural problems had been interpreted as a conduct issue, not a sign that at home she & her mother were under duress.” #ACES

2. “The recommendatns address how patchy many professionals’ understanding of coercive control is.” #FierceCuriosity is needed to help our children, not defensive egos. This is why I proudly tell stories of professional journeys of insight, like @bainsfordht & @KeeganSmith_Law .
3. “Why didn’t the school, social workers & police join up the dots?” Well, one reason is that we often aren’t curious enough, or we don’t pay attention to children’s FEELINGS. We’re often too tired & overwhelmed ourselves to manage that. So - that’s a place to start. #Curiosity

Building Expertise
Even if you are someone who dabbles in multiple topics, you can still build expertise.
Find HOW from the following threads🧵

Find HOW from the following threads🧵
1/ If you have multiple interests, it means you are more curious than others.
In fact, I had to go past 200 books to understand my keen interest in (cognitive + behavioral) psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy.
And mind you, I’m an economist by training.
So Have Patience!

2/ If you are still struggling to pick a topic, then choose a topic based on something you already find fascinating and love to learn.
For instance, if your bookshelf is filled with leadership & Development books, then there lies the hint.

LOVE being faculty at @MIT this semester for a class on #dataanalytics & #datascience. I tend to PM my mentees, especially women and #blackexcellence to start to prepare questions to ask. Too often people stay silent. Speak up. Never be embarrassed to show #curiosity.
Listening right now to mid-semester progress reports from teams and am feeling like such a proud #datascience #BigData #bigdataanalytics momma. Bear cubs doing good (well AND good in world)
LOVE that this is a space within @MIT that focuses on #SDoH and #equity.

Literally right now, hearing about a study on #socialmedia chatter as a driver of vaccines hesitancy driven by #Twitter - start postulate "cause/effect" by an incident that happens within days after a vaccine - like ppl automatically assume a death is "caused" by vaccine
I think I can design a game.
A game that can teach the children how to learn.
I am not saying I have done PHD in game design or learning or child psychology.
What I understand is that learning needs to be e fun personal and exciting.
Assumption: kids love to play.

For example..
How would you teach children to speak?
Of course speaking properly need to be taught.
We do that all the time with the kids around us or we were taught by our parents.
Doing it online i.e. at scale is the challenge.

-He is your dada ji
-Did you say namaste to your visitors.
-Do you recognise our visitors-
-Dont speak foul language
-Remind the correct pronunciation of something
-Ask same thing a few hundred times untill kids respond correctly.
Etc etc etc.

A THREAD on 'masks', & the growing polarization that is harming all of us.
We urgently need to develop effective ways to reduce divisions, & claw back common courtesy & decency.
There's no quick fix.
It requires all of us to take responsibility for what we say & write.

MASKS have been used throughout human history, on all sorts of occasions — religious, celebratory, punitive, therapeutic and playful.
They are used to entertain, frighten, disguise and protect.
Masks can also be used to foster the emergence of new identities.

We sometimes wear metaphorical masks. We may feel the need to mask our true feelings in order to protect ourselves or others, or to conceal selfish, ulterior motives. We are said to ‘drop the mask’ in those rare, intimate moments in which we reveal our ‘inner, authentic’ selves.
Jack of all trades, master of one.

Amidst all of this, what's imperative is to hone our crafts and learn as many skills as possible but master one skill to top it all.
How do we do that?

I love me some Walt Whitman, @MassGovernor. Here are things I’m curious about:
1) Are there any other big aspirations you have for MA’s future aside from figuring out what work will look like in the yrs ahead & “getting there 1st”? Like ending childhood hunger, or

...closing opportunity & achievement gaps in education, or building the greenest economy in the nation, or halving the racial wealth divide in 10 yrs? How do you square being the most popular Gov in America with not using that capital to do something more ambitious for humanity?
2) At 305K vaccine doses deployed a week, how long will it take us to get MA to herd immunity?
#Covid lockdowns were an unusual gift. Watching my roses wilt, leathers crack, convictions shake, relationships dull and few loved ones taken away, I came to appreciate the essence of #chaos in a non-mathematical way.
Riding the upstoppable arrow of #time, chaos can, and will take over everything – it's a question of when, not if. Spending 20+ hours for a whole year at home, I personally witnessed new order derive from, and decay back into chaos – yes, #entropy grows.
The silent master of #change, it lurks at the edge of all organisation, constantly tugging at equilibrium, ever ready to topple it into countless permutations of form, flavor and function. And through these, it shapes our shared, mortal destinies, at all #resolutions.
