When I was a child I was so obsessed with David Tennant @bbcdoctorwho that I made a CD of me playing the piano & carried it around with a handwritten note for OVER A YEAR in case I ever bumped into him 😂 couldn’t resist an organ version of this when I heard he was returning…! – at Royston, England

Taken 3 emails to find where the $0.58 #AWS charge is coming from. I think I know how they make money

I feel this may be the greatest single clip of TV ever made. Reduces me to tears every time I watch to the end.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. In 1938, Sir Nicholas Winton brought Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia to safety in the UK. Fifty years later, That’s Life reunited him with some of those children.

Hi @SplashLearn I've just been asked to send my password to your rep due to data privacy reasons. Is this really your #security process?

Very sad that Hon Fellow of @BritishAcademy_ Sir David Cox has died. He was a towering figure in the field of statistics. I remember getting him to do one of the @RoyalStatSoc 180th anniversary lectures in 2014 when he was 90 and still on fine form youtu.be/xRik3vOKLcU

This is an excellent tweet in and of itself. But oh lord the replies. 😂😂😂
Going forward post-pandemic, I would like to see each scholar’s H index placed on their conference badge. It’s a good metric and it saves the trouble of looking folks up. It’s not helpful for me to talk to people who hardly publish. It’s not helpful for either of us to be honest.
