Welp, I suppose I’ll start using the toot horn again

First order of business:
I’m headed to the first conference in YEARS that I’m going to *just attend* and not speak at, not organize, etc

It’s a weird feeling

If I know folks attending MLSys this year, hit me up ☺️

Also, people who know me know I grew up in South Florida on boats and whatnot

So it’s an extremely weird feeling to be here and to have my whole tech/science life colliding with 🏝️☀️🚤

Florida has always been an explicitly not scientific/not tech place to me

I should also note that I’m coming out of a cave… A pandemic-into-motherhood-into-family-health-stuff cave

So I’ve been out of the Twitter/conference/etc circuit for a bit 🫤

Please be kind ❤️

@heather <3 you were missed

@Di4na wow ❤️ I had no idea

When using social media, it often feels like shouting into a vacuum. So thank you ❤️

@heather glad to have you back here!

Parenthood is tough nowadays

@clementd yeah, it really is. And we screwed everything up by having a kid at literally the worst point in time during the pandemic. Late enough into it to get into the system at peak dysfunction

Glad to finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel RE the dysfunction part

@heather yeah… i'm glad things are going better
@heather good luck and safe travels! only just managing to come out of a cave myself so i know the feeling. have fun!
