Look what arrived in the mail today! And like that, it’s officially #PhDone! 😂 Big thanks as well to @UQMedicine, @QIMRBerghofer & @MetroNorthHHS! #phdchat #grad
Replying to @giuliku
Passed (with minor corrections). I guess that’s almost #PhDdone? Big thanks to examiners/panel (incl. @KarenMoritz2 who chaired all the way through the milestones), my supervisors, CIML kidney lab, @MetroNorthHHS staff & patients, Pathology Queensland & @UQMedicine!

The “we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes” line at #Australian institutions (@Westpac 👀) is getting a bit old, followed by a 30 minute wait to talk to a human. It’s 2023 - how about a call back feature? Reconsidering whether I want to stay with a big 4 #bank.

I’m not a teacher, nor claim to be a #pedagogical expert. However, surely in a world where #AI is thrown around to support #pseudoscience nonsense, teaching *critical & rational thinking* all the way from 🧒 kindy to high school (& beyond 🧑‍🎓) is even more important now?

Oh never mind, the whole @SpringerNature journal is a hotbed of pseudoscience nonsense purporting to use #AI to back up their bogus claims. Wow!

I’m normally terrible at spotting these (cudos to Elisabeth for finding these), but even I spotted the cloned areas in the first image! 😵😵😵
Oh dear. @MDAndersonNews paper describing a patient with a skin disease. What is unexpected with this photo? #ImageForensics

I’m sorry @elonmusk @TwitterAU @TwitterSupport, this reporting structure for #spam tweets/accounts is just 💩! I just want to be able to select “spam”, why do I have to tell you that “myself” or “my company or brand” are being impersonated?!? 😡😡😡 Twitter is full of🤖now!
