Nice day for a walk on the #UofU campus

Oooh, the new coffee place in the #UofU student union building does really good flat whites

Jason Kunisaki is a JXTX/CSHL scholarship recipient from the University of Utah #UofU who will present "Exploring the role of de novo germline and somatic mutagenesis in male subfertility" at #bog24 https://jxtxfoundation.org/news/2024-02-21-bg

These trees on the #UofU campus are my absolute favorites for #fall colors. They go through the full range of green, yellow, a bit of orange, red, and dark crimson - and often one tree will have all the colors at the same time!

The talk "The latent cognitive structures of social networks" by Izabel P. Aguiar, our latest speaker at Network Science and Social Network Analysis at the U [NetSNAU], is now available on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/BsdRwcmMmig #netsci #sna #networkscience #socnet #css #uofu #talk

Do you think I could take #UofU campus promo shots

Here come a bunch of videos of the #UofU campus!

I absolutely love these #book sculptures around the Marriott #Library at the #UofU

High-precision time sync is coming to the Utah #CloudLab cluster! Here's a view from the roof of the #UofU's downtown data center showing the antenna mast our PTP Grand Master clock will use to synchronize with GPS.

Unpopular opinion: I'm actually okay with football game days (I live 2 blocks from the #UofU stadium) because it's nice to live in a neighborhood that's mostly quiet but occasionally pretty lively

Lovely late-summer day on the #UofU campus #Bloomscrolling

University of Utah is experiencing a widespread IT outage - and it isn't due to ransomware or DNS. #UofU

Congratulations to @rstutsman for winning the #UofU College of Engineering Outstanding Teaching Award, and to @carboxylman (who works on #CloudLab, #PowderWireless, and other projects) for a CoE Outstanding Staff Award!

Seeing this poster sent me down a rabbit hole of remembering some things that I had forgotten about #Utah, and teaching me some new things that I hadn't previously known:

My first thought was: this is weird, why was there a Typographical Association in (Great) Salt Lake City in 1856, less than 10 years after White people first settled here in any numbers‽ Seems like a weird priority for a religious frontier town. And it's big enough to have a festival? With dancing! and supper! Maybe 'Typography' at the time was understood to include 'typesetting'? That might make sense, press might be a priority.

But no: this organization was for the promotion of the Deseret Alphabet[1]. See, the Mormon pioneers had a plan to fix English spelling by creating a new orthography for the language. They are not the only ones who wanted to do this, and their Deseret Alphabet was based on Pitman's shorthand[2]. One of the weird twists in this story is that the folks who developed the Deseret Alphabet were the Board of Regents for what eventually became the Utah System of Higher Education (the #UofU and its siblings). That's right, other state schools, do YOU have your own alphabet?[3]

The other truly amazing thing on this poster is the price. It may be hard to read so: the price is listed as "$3 per Couple ... Additional Lady $1". Why would that be? Could it be - polygamy‽

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deseret_alphabet
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitman_shorthand
[3] The Deseret Alphabet never really caught on, though the Regents did attempt to get some local schools to teach it. It looks like the only book ever published in it was the Book of Mormon. But it's now in Unicode!

Today in secret tunnel content: I'm now pretty sure the first steam tunnels were built in 1902, a year after the #UofU moved to its current location (previously, it was in downtown #SLC). My evidence for this is a photo from 1919 showing a heating plant directly northeast of the Park building (where INSCC is today), and a mention of that heating plant in the 1901-1902 general catalog; this year mentions the steam plant as a thing that will exist, the 1902-1903 one changes the language to imply that it's finished. I assume if they had the heating plant, they had the tunnels in place to move the steam.

With a bit of warmer, sunny weather this morning, it was a great chance to take a quick hike with some staff and students in the foothills above the #UofU campus. It was somewhat sunny when we started, and we got back just as the graupel started falling.
