Sphericons are unique solids that roll in such a way that every point on their surface comes in contact with the plane. Solids from the sphericon family all have one side and two edges. Each sphericon is based on a regular polygon: this is from a hexagon buff.ly/2Mw4gE1

This sign was put up, after not one but _TWO_ people applied steel cable tamper evident seals to their wrists without figuring out if it was possible to bypass first. They spent the next 4 hours with a tiny file cutting through each strand. Future events will have this sign. 😐

I was asked to speak at an event on “what it’s like to be a woman in science”. In the spirit of transparency, I tell them I’m pregnant but will still be working at that point. They emailed back today saying they will “go with another speaker” ☹️ #womeninSTEM – at Auckland, New Zealand

I get the feeling #telstraOutage is going to trend soon, as @buzzconfio participants vent their anger at no conference internet. @Telstra
