@LindorffLarsen The sleeping-not-dead folder always gives me anxiety

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset.

Academia never says 'do something creative / take a risk'
1. Students: don't be too ambitious.
2. Postdocs: work on projects with a high feasibility
3. Asst professors: play it safe, get tenure
4. Professors: don't lose funding, go with the paradigm.

Not just bandwagons, fashionable topics, servile peers (aka "lackeys") and editors, citation cartels, and paper mills, now citations can be directly "bought": https://t.co/9Na0cI1SSs. This reminds me a lot of the "trade in indulgences" which led to the Protestant Reformation.

@CFDonia @MATLAB Then I don’t understand the exponential function in the variable “facto”

@americascup @lunarossa This could be a summary lecture of the fluid dynamics class. Amazing!

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”.

A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself):

We propose a new linear stability tool for fluid-structure interaction problems, which may be of interest for investigating the onset of vortex-induced vibrations.

Increase contact surface and reduce stress concentration — nothing fancy even bears know it :)

Who's going to EFMC14 conference this year?
I'll present a computational prototype
for energy harvesting from water current...
