Today is my dissertation proposal defense. That means I'll give a public lecture about my research in front of my committee.
As some folks may know, I'm doing another round of grad school, mid-career, focused on scientific decision making in the U.S. Congress sheril.substack.com/p/a-disser… #science #politics
In terms of PhD-ing, this is kind of like the pregame. I passed my comprehensive exams last year & will officially defend my dissertation & finish this Fall. So here goes...

This mosaic layout looks really interesting!
I'm personally on a dynamic tiler, and I really like it (with 9 virtual workspaces), but it indeed looks weird sometimes to see like a control panel with two sliders take up the whole screen. I just personally don't care that it's ugly for that 20 seconds I need to use 😂
But FWIW, a new API through which an app can communicate what size it would feel comfortable being in seems promising.

It's not a sincere apology if reparations are not offered. It's not friendship if unfair trade practices are in force. There is no peace without justice.
I don't believe in wishy-washy smiling handshakes for the cameras, and do nothingness afterwards.
