I need to update my profile page now that I finished my PhD… I wonder what should I write…

This animation is made with points in a Python collections.deque data structure, added by dragging the mouse (code shown bellow) 🔭 I'm currently working on a PhD at Unicamp. 🌱 I should be talking less and concentrating, but... 💬 Ask me about drawing with Python! Check out py5 and pyp5js, they bring in the vocabulary from Processing & P5js! I try to make a new drawing with code everyday, and I put the results at skech-a-day. 👯 I’d like to collaborate on open resources to teach programming. I collect tools for teaching Python in a visual output here. If you find the things I share here usefull, consider supporting my work!

It was though year. I finished my PhD, yay! Now, I’m on vacation from my main job, as educator at Sesc, and yesterday I wound down some last freelance work obligations. I really need a break.

I want to rest, make some “prints” of my drawings for friends, go to my local museums and have coffee/tea with friends, and that’s it!

Today we celebrate 18 years of our local #Python users group, #GruPySP, and I’m going to meet friends from #GaroaHackerClube, that’s a great start :)

Many thanks to the @pdfarranger@pdfarranger people!
I recently had to deal with hundreds of pages being inserted as appendixes on my PhD thesis and it was a breeze (the PDF manipulation was a breeze not the thesis, mind you :blob_clown:)

#PDF #FLOSS

Everything went fine, contrary to what my brain has been warning me to expect for ages. #PhD

So 429: Too Many Requests on my GitHub hosted images, breaking my tutorials etc… Not good!

July will be gone and my escape to Codeberg.org has not even started (I have to finish my PhD…)

‘The universities are the enemy’: why the right detests the American campus
Lauren Lassabe Shepherd, PhD,  Historian and Contrbuting Writer  -  The Guardian (U.K.)

_Stephan: The Republican fascist coup does not like facts. Therefore, they don’t like universities, they don’t like museums, they don’t like public education, they don’t like science, they don’t like a fact-based media, and they actively weaponize and spread misinformation.

The manosphere and networked misogyny
Zhen Troy Chen, PhD, FHEA , Dr. Calogero Giametta, PhD , Dr. Jacob Johanssen, PhD & Dr. Irida Ntalla, PhD,    -  Nature

_Stephan: One of the many negative effects of social media is the rise of the manosphere. I had no idea until I began to research this the weaponization of misinformation how many American men, particularly young men, are weak, psychologically disturbed, insecure about their manhood, and threatened by women. In the United States ri … ⌘ Read more

Republicans, Men Push Trump Approval Higher in Second Term
Jeffrey M. Jones, PhD and Megan Brenan,   Senior Editor | Senior Editor  -  The Gallup Organization

_Stephan: What amazes me is how the percentage of MAGAt monarch Trump’s approval rating remains so high. I see this not only as a political issue but, even more, as a cultural issue. It reflects the weakness, resentment, and insecurity of American men of all ages. It is such a powerful trend in America that it … ⌘ Read more

PhD level science questions? (+1)

niftydude an hour ago

A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.
