  • How to light up a tumour

    The long read: For decades, brain surgeons have struggled to identify cancerous tissue precisely. Could one of the world’s most deadly scorpions come to their aid?

    Fascinating story. And the bit about the little girl Violet just crushed me.

    RT @lightningdb: I’ve built my slides for tonight’s #SydTechLeaders using @canva — very neat, and super easy. TBH, expectations far surpas…


    @lightningdb That’s excellent! I’m coming along tonight – would love to hear your thoughts on using it. 🙂


    @mobywhale Stuffed up your knitting already?! Get @mayaijung to help you. 🙂 Or if you’re coming to #SydTechLeaders, I’ll help!

    @TracyMuSung @lucykbain Me too! Such a great idea.


    @lucykbain 2:30 should be perfect!


    @codepo8 When are you coming to Australia?


    @codepo8 Do you have time to come for lunch at @canva? I promise scintilating conversation with me and @themaninblue. 🙂


    @lucykbain My colleague @poppiepack would also love to come if there’s a spot free!


    RT @InduKhosla: @estellevw @iamggreen @shanselman Found this nugget. Women are noticed for tweeting about diversity not tech. http://t.co/…


    RT @AnnaIsabella92: Stop hating, start appreciating. Why Google’s new logo is actually a huge success. @Inc http://t.co/uWrvFlbcK6


    RG @gertrudemade – What a nice idea! I’m tagging @jpofoz. #gertrudemadefriendsforever http://t.co/M4z9KpQU6S http://t.co/hXmPC2GSuh


    We are so spoiled. Yummiest lunch yet, @canvavibe! #carbcoma http://t.co/sFDphemcLJ http://t.co/0myqqiJ9te


    Slightly disappointed there are only 5 women at tonight’s #sydtechleaders. I want more women in Tech Leadership roles!


    But on the plus side, there’s a @developerjack sighting, which is always welcome. 🙂 #sydtechleaders


    Leadership as ability to read context and operate within it. I like that. A very Game of Thrones understanding of power. #sydtechleaders


    @codepo8 @themaninblue maybe we could schedule our next @CanvaTech event and get you to speak! 😛


    Org structure and “holacracy” are hot topics at the moment. http://t.co/b4QfX3l7lu (We are not really a holacracy.) #sydtechleaders


    Been waiting for @lightningdb’s #sydtechleaders talk and his fabulous @canva-made slides! http://t.co/L9XNAsxIdO


    @developerjack I immediately thought @lightningdb’s crack was 100% about you. 🙂


    @developerjack @lightningdb Only 11 on Meetup. 🙂

    @gusseting Appreciate the link, but I haven’t written any software in a very long time. Definitely not for me!

    Uh oh. I think I’ve created a monster. 🙂 https://t.co/2ONeEAilzo


    .@WWCSyd is hosting a “Classy Coding” session with tea & wine. THAT IS BRILLIANT. Ties in nicely with Frocktober! 🙂 http://t.co/JLe96ywEYg


    @OphelieLechat When are you here? Just say the word. There’s usually a SnB of some sort happening.


    @lisaaharrison1 I read that as “OCD Team” at first, and I was like, Hey, PERFECT. 😛


    @lucykbain Ooh. I’ve had my nails done once in my life and I ruined it like 10 minutes later. Maybe?


    @lucykbain Haha, I was TOTALLY thinking @canva logo! Does it matter if my nails are short and stubby? 😀


    The inaugural Women in Tech Stitch & Bitch! Ten women – WOW. http://t.co/aBUcq0S4es http://t.co/v3QdzzK6KG


    @lucykbain Are you doing it too?? If you are, I’m in.


    @NicoleWill100 Sorry I missed this! But you figured it out, obviously. Thank you again for coming along! 🙂

    Why you should start work at 10am (unless you’re in your 50s) http://t.co/FcTkDB9OBW Thankfully my job allows me to do this!


    @darthted True. I wish I was an early riser. I would be if I could. But I am not.

    Videos from our first tech event back in May. The next one will be up soon!


    Classy Coding is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard. And right at the start of Frocktober! I can’t wait.

    Thankfully my job allows me to do this, and I love it.

    @johnlorimer I find I’m discovering new music I like on Apple Music that I didn’t on Spotify. The curated playlist suggestions are great.


    @GeorgiCodes You’re coming over for lunch, right?!


    @GeorgiCodes Ah, okay. But we’re still on for drinks, right?


    @GeorgiCodes 1pm


    @GeorgiCodes That’s fine by me! We meaning?


    @GeorgiCodes @data_dino Ahhh, very cool!


    @NickDeverell Very cool, huh! I was OOO on the photo shoot day. 🙁 To be honest though, we never use the word “holocracy”. *shudder*


    @GeorgiCodes @data_dino Ignore update invitation. Today is still good!


    RT @johnallsopp: Dear Australia. Marriage equality is going happen. So let’s just get over it and do it already.


    @jmrivera02 @otterfaseowl I bet the @pillowfortcast would know…


    @techwomenaus YES! I haven’t listened to Undisclosed yet. I saw yesterday allegation that the cops bought Jay a motorcycle??


    Thank you @GeorgiCodes and @data_dino for visiting @canva! Always fun to catch up with the Aussie startup diaspora… 🙂

    Just created my first ever pull request. *pats self on back* Now how long do I wait before I start hassling @davidhearnden to review? 🙂


    @lucykbain I’m going insane. Did you message me? I saw a notification but can’t find the message.


    Gummy Beartini. Yes, I’m serious. http://t.co/jyzRySlgZY http://t.co/uew5vQqlpo


    @randomknits I didn’t try that one. The Kraken was good, and the Hundreds & Thousands was delicious.


    The Old Clare has reopened! That was serendipitous. http://t.co/EwYbN2hBZA http://t.co/EGM9BDvK50


    @TheRealBnut @randomknits The 100s&1000s tasted like melted candy. The Gummy Beartini tasted like the chemicals that clean the candy vats.
