Alright, time for an #introduction post!

I'm Shannon, and I'm part of the #twittermigration 🐦 ➡️ 🐘

Because of my interests in #programming, #devops, and #selfhosting--with just a dash of masochism!--I elected to set up my own Mastodon instance!

When I'm not spinning up servers to axe my free time, I'm a professor studying #ComputationalBiology, at the intersection of #CellularBiology + #MachineLearning + #Bioimaging.

I run, read, tinker, and spend time with my better half @write2run and Z ❤️

Cute Happy Mastodons
Just because ☺️

#ThrowbackThursday // Hiking the distinctive jagged peaks of the #TombstoneMountains way up north in #Canada's #YukonTerritory was an experience I'll never forget.

Along with 4 of my best mates we hiked the wild, desolate, alpine meadows and loose, rocky slopes of the peaks surrounding #GrizzlyLake, always in the shadow of the dominating form of Mt. Tombstone.

Card Sharks.
Random weird work I created during 2020 when we weren’t going anywhere.

You know people who call this stuff duck tape? These are the people to blame.
Duck Tape brand of duct tape

Photo taken a few years ago in Valencia, Spain. No idea what kind of tree this is, although Siri labels it as either a chinaberry tree or poison hemlock, which is not a tree, so I'm guessing chinaberry tree is likely the correct one.

It's #Wednesday which can only mean one thing, it's time for a #waterfall #photo

Take life long and slow for maximum effect.

Herman Gulch in #Colorado

This creek tumbles down from near the top of the Continental Divide until it reaches Clear Creek. I liked the curving lines of how the water flowed through the blocking rocks this little area.

Driftwood Sunrise! Another shot from my recent visit to Hatteras Island on North Carolina's Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It never disappoints.

Someday you will meet someone who laughs at all your jokes. Do not trust this person. They are most likely a spy, or a Scientologist. Your jokes are terrible.
