DE/Medical procedures. At home, this would typically be done under anesthesia off/on. Here I stayed fully awake with only a painkiller. With my background in CS, my #defensemechanism is to reduce stress to numbers and signals. But the human side of the system caught me completely off guard.

#ExtremeHeat warning in DE.Work iPhone passed out 30mins into a call,while my personal Samsung is going strong,and still hot🥵 Android-Apple: 1:0 ​Clearly,iOS wouldn't survive a single day of my #post-Soviet childhood,where we tackled 40C summers by hanging wet linens on windows instead of curtains

Theory is only as good as its execution. I approached #TOGAF after years of working in Data Architecture leadership roles. What surprised me: practical experience was.... distracting! It made the exam harder, because real-world judgement and architectural thinking aren't always the same thing.

Day 736. The last time I spoke #German was with my cat's veterinarian. About six months ago. I forced myself to learn a few medical terms I don't even know in English. There was always an easier option: they could speak Polish, I could answer in Russian, and somehow we'd understand each other.

Having spent years in large financial ecosystems, I keep expecting f(x). Input. Rules. Output. Call it a professional bias. ​ Relationship-driven systems still feel like an odd duck to me. Family-owned companies, however, often run on something else entirely: tradition, trust, personal networks.

6yrs in amateur #swimming. Good enough lung capacity, 1+ min breath holds. Yet, breathing every 5-7 strokes pushed me to panic 😲. It wasn’t an O₂ issue. The brain is more sensitive to rising CO₂ than falling O₂. The alarm goes off early 🚨. The fix was counterintuitive: continuous (!) active exhale.

Michael Lewis’s The Undoing Project is less about economics and more about the structure of human judgment. Tversky and Kahneman showed how people systematically misread probability and uncertainty, often relying on what memory retrieves most easily rather than on statistical reality. #booksky

Morning walk-and-talk with women in #AI turned into a discussion on #graphs. Realized that exchange is almost never linear - every connection reshapes the network. Real progress starts with identifying key nodes and building bridges that transform information into new knowledge. #Köln #SciSky

Fascinating to compare. 2 different survival mechanisms: ​Insects here rely on genetic memory - long-term evo changes in DNA. ​Immigration acts like molecular adaptation (alt. splicing) - a rapid reconfiguration to survive now, as noted here: bsky.app/profile/anng... ​2 scales, same goal: resilience

Fashion is cyclical, and a little ironic: the forms change, but the same forces keep returning - survival on one side, attraction on the other. #FashionTech #EvolutionaryBiology

Looking at this not just through the lens of genetics, but as someone who has faced this devastating disease in my inner circle. May these dreams finally come true.🤞💫

A personalized vaccine designed at WashU Medicine is showing early promise against the most aggressive brain cancer. The DNA-based vaccine opens the door for new treatments for patients facing often-fatal glioblastoma. https://bit.ly/4wq4Aeg

Friday lunch break: a crash course in medical bureaucracy. No bad luck without a silver lining. Learned more than planned about blood work and indicators. Brain: treating this as an engineering puzzle 🤓. Waiting for the referee. Critical thinking stays. #bioinformatics #germany #expat #nerdlife

Late-season update from an indoor ski hall: snowboarders seem to operate in a different coordinate system, so a small coordinate transformation - effectively just crouching down - is enough to keep things synced. 🎿 #appliedmath #devlife #skilife #linearalgebra #datascience

Immigration as molecular adaptation. When “cities do not care,” we activate alternative splicing. 🧬🏙️ Plants can’t move, so they edit their RNA to survive the city stress. Moving countries twice taught me: we do the exact same to build a resilient version of identity. #pint26DE #biotech #genetics

Lecture by @frezzalab.bsky.social on mitochondria and cancer left a mark: Bio systems parallel data architectures. "Metabolic permissiveness" acts like IT system-level permissions: nutrition or inflammation grant the "rights" for cellular growth. Plasticity is a strategic re-configuration. #cecad
