Watching highlights from #UVM’s victory in the #NCAA soccer tournament … and I am twitching seeing they count the time DOWN from 45 mins for each half.

Well after 14 years I'm laid off from Viavi. This has been a particular nightmare for me for 14 years since I was a victim of the 2008 financial meltdown and laid off then and couldn't find work for all of 2009. It was rough.

But anyway, locally fantastic staff and great people to work with. Higher management, no comment as I am negatively biased. We made some cool stuff and I will miss seeing how my current baby will turn out.

Anyhow I don't really know how far this might go, but if someone is looking for a #EE with 25 years experience in digital design primarily with #FPGA and #VHDL (and a smattering of #Verilog), including verification mainly using #OSVVM and #UVVM (the latter modeled after #UVM) please contact me, especially if you can support remote work. I do have a professional office at home, it can be YOURS (along with me of course).

(And if so inclined, boosting this for greater visibility in networks is greatly appreciated.)

Implementing HDL verification using #UVM is annoying and tedious. So #cocotb seems to be the right choice. #FPGA #Python #systemverilog #VHDL

#STUK bliver kraftigt kritiseret af en række skolefolk fra forsker, over skoleleder til KL. STUKs ledelse og generelle tilgang til skoler betegnes som inkompetent. Det er et kæmpeproblem. #skolechat #dkpol #uddpol #folkeskole #folkeskolenDK #UVM

Time for a new #introduction

I'm a #ComputerScience #PhD candidate at the #University of #Vermont (#UVM). There, I'm doing #AI and #ALife #research with Josh Bongard and many others. Themes include #evolution, #evolvability, innate #intelligence, #cells, #bodies, and #endosymbiosis.

I believe #science should be open and accessible, so I write about my ideas on a #Wordpress #blog, review relevant #books on #Goodreads, and publish my source code on #Github (links in my profile).

I'm passionate about #diversity, #socialjustice, #sustainability, #ethics, #philosophy, and all things #tech. In my personal life, I love #food, #cooking, #reading, #yoga, #hiking, #art, and #StarTrek.

I worked for many years on #Google #Search as a #software #engineer, #techlead, and #manager. I used to be proud of that, but lately I have concerns.

My favorite #programming language is #Python, but I know many more, and lately have been quite enjoying #CUDA #GPU programming in #cplusplus.

„Recht & Gesetz gelten für alle. Wo die Grenzen der Rechtsordnung überschritten werden, sind Staatsanwaltschaft & Polizei gefordert“, schreibt Justizminister Heiko #Buschmann (#FDP) am 30. Mai 2023 auf Twitter.

Ein Blick auf #Prozesse gegen #Rechtsextreme in den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten lassen jedoch Zweifel daran aufkommen, wie interessiert die Behörden tatsächlich sind.

Eine kleine Auswahl...

I am looking for a #postdoc to work with my team on a NOAA-funded project on Science Communication Research on Flood Warnings for Local Community Segments. Please share with your networks! https://www.uvm.edu/ciroh/node/22

The #snow is gone, except where it has been shoveled or plowed into piles. On Wednesday, it was 50F (10C) and #UVM students were sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the campus quad and enjoying the #spring #sun.

Right now it is snowing.

Tomorrow, it’s supposed to be 60F (16C) and #thunderstorms.

It must be spring.

UVM has Southwestern Native American remains in its possession, despite a 1990 repatriation law. The Fairbanks museum in St. J. holds remains taken from Florida.

I had no idea about any of this. Great data from

In January, I will be joining the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources as the Robert F. and Genevieve B. Patrick Endowed Chair of Watershed Science and Planning. In addition to teaching and research, I will be the Director of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant program and the Vermont Water Resources and Lake Studies Center.

I'm very excited to explore #Vermont, join #UVM, & lead an outstanding #SeaGrant program.

#introduction

A biologist and #writer, I chase flying things and lose sleep over lead paragraphs.

#Birds and #insects drive most of my fieldwork. But I write broadly at the intersection of natural communities and human nature.

A member of the Vermont Endangered Species Committee, I co-curate #butterfly and #dragonfly atlas projects here in #Vermont.

Finally, below, a moth montage from Montpelier during National Moth Week.
