I never understood this photo pose. I think it's supposed to mean, "I'm smart and people listen to me because I talk with my hands." You see it on LinkedIn profile photos and conference photos of speakers all the time.
For example:
FDA nixes Theranos Zika test; Is *your* tweet worth $30,000? And more news.

But what do I see? I see someone explaining their evening of hot sex with @Osman
