Happy to tell the story, @Heart_of_Agile supports Mónica Delsouc reaching the summit of Elbrus, highest mountain in Europe:
(thread w pics)
Monica (from Mendoza, think Malbecs you love) had already climbed Aconcagua, the highest peak in North and S America. I decided to support her, she, already a supporter of the #HeartOfAgile, offered to carry the Heart of Agile banner to the top.

Here in Mendoza airport, with family and friends, getting ready to go.
climbing ... (okay, I have enjoyed winter camping and mountaineering in my lifetime, but this is out of my league...)
video reaching the summit, 10 hour climb above 5,000 meters... yes, thank you.
Mónica reaching summit 5,642m after 10+ hours climbing above 5,000m. Congratulations!
Mónica Delsouc at the summit.

Fabulous achievement.
An inspiration, a lesson in dedication.
And safely down, now in the "other" St Petersburg (Russia) (haha the poetry of it all).

With a certificate that means something.

Congratulations Mónica Delsouc
@MonicaDelsouc FTW

1/ You all helped so much sort through the design options for the @Heart_of_Agile logo. Some have asked for the design story. It is long, but I am happy to tell it.

You might need a beer or threee while you read it. :)
2/ In Feb 2015, Craig Brown told me to get off my ass. “Your needs a logo, a phrase, and a certification program.” Craig is remarkably correct on many things.
3/ In my next Advanced Agile class, I sketched this on the board:. Why a diamond? Because I wanted a shape that wasn’t taken. Circles and triangles are trite, squares are nothing, pentagons and heptagons are too hard to draw

In 1917, Flynn received an inspirational letter from Lieutenant Clifford Peel, a Victorian medical student with an interest in aviation.
The young airman and war hero suggested the use of aviation to bring medical help to the Outback. Shot down in France, he died at just 24 years of age and never knew that his letter became a blueprint for the creation of the Flying Doctor Service.

a-Since completing my job search, I feel there are things that could be helpful for others who will be doing this for the first time. So I am sharing some experiences (from application prep -> interview) in hopes that someone will find them useful. #thread
b-Disclaimer: I applied to R1 and mostly chemistry or biochem depts. And even with sharing experiences with others at @futurepi_slack, I’ve found many who would disagree on many things or had different experiences. So these are MY opinions.
c-Also this assumes that you’ve developed your research ideas and they are strong and exciting to more than just you. Definitely put a lot of work into doing that.

Kayode chased me out of our home.

Three years of marriage with two beautiful daughters to show for it, and he chased me.

Chased me like a thief that I was not, chased me like an unfaithful wife that I was not, he chased me..

out and brought in another woman.

Now barely two years after, he is here, on his knees, before my family and our kids, begging for me to take him back.

As I stared at him in his burgundy long sleeved kafan and polished black shoes, pleading on his knees before my father and
mother,with nothing but emptiness in my heart,the memories of the pain he put me through,the embarrassment,the heart break, the agony flowed back into my head,fresh as if it were yesterday..

"Wumni please forgive me,” he said, turning towards me, “Please forgive and forget..”

Ok. It’s time to go into Joshua’s memory box and tell his story #thread
Joshua was very much a rainbow baby 🌈 and we were so excited and over the moon when I finally made it into the second trimester. (Alex and I are both big rugby fans!)
I was working as a 1st year Registrar in A&E when I suddenly broke my waters at 24 weeks. I was transferred to Southampton @UHSFT who have a specialist level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were wonderful, and did everything they could to stop my labour over Father’s Day.
