What age is this?" He said while reexamining his own DOB numbers with a dash of morbid curiosity - joint pain musings; hopeful for the promise of cartiledge tissue engineering 😅🩻06 Sep 2026 04:39 +0000at://did:plc:3suibvd7mvuilx5kpg47phkd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mut6ffzuak2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/siavasha.bsky.social/post/3muajj7u4cs2eIf I die in my office today ...

Thank you for the gift Prior Siavash 🥲14 May 2026 17:51 +0000at://did:plc:3suibvd7mvuilx5kpg47phkd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mltezdxte22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/siavasha.bsky.social/post/3mlcmgqnbtk2mI am curious how much Canvas cost for schools. A quick search suggests 5-30 per student per year. I wish for better alternatives. I find the use of modules unintuitive (and even poor). The majority of the features are bad or unhelpful IMO. I like Gradescope in contrast.08 May 2026 01:48 +0000at://did:plc:3suibvd7mvuilx5kpg47phkd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlcmgqnbtk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/siavasha.bsky.social/post/3ml3alspwx22mCSULB earlier today.05 May 2026 03:28 +0000at://did:plc:3suibvd7mvuilx5kpg47phkd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3alspwx22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/siavasha.bsky.social/post/3mi3g6jplfs2tNothing is more rewarding than lab members' success.
