Now the introduction slide of CO2RR (CO2 conversion using catalysts) presentation should include War CO2 emissions! Climate modellers - are you including this in your model? #StopWar#ClimateCrisis#GlobalDisaster
My POV
When students attend only their own professor’s talk and then leave, it shows how event culture can sometimes become more about obligation or affiliation than genuine curiosity, valuing only what’s directly connected to one’s own group.

🔥 Holy shit… academia just had its “ChatGPT moment.”
Stanford researchers just dropped Paper2Web and it might have just killed the PDF forever.
It turns research papers into interactive websites with videos, animations, and even working code, all generated automatically by an AI agent called PWAgent.
Here’s why this is insane:
• Built on a dataset of 10,700 papers the first ever benchmark for academic webpages
• Evaluates sites by connectivity, completeness, and interactivity (even runs a PaperQuiz to test reader retention)
• Outperforms arXiv HTML and alphaXiv by 28%+ in usability
This isn’t just prettier formatting it’s a new medium.
Readers can explore, interact, and learn instead of scroll and skim.
The static PDF era is dead. Your next paper might talk back.

When a complex, non-equilibrium system is forced beyond the symmetriv destabilization, the transient perturbations may catalyze metastable bifurcations (cold souls).

New experience: Perplexity vs. Google search
The Perplexity's rising appeal among researchers for its low learning curve (ChatGPT type, Al powdered, follow-up and no ads ) with customization options, may force users to shift their preferences.

Electrochemistry: where we spend years convincing electrons to do what they were already going to do and finally present half-finished work with full confidence.

Science is all about rejections; papers, proposals, and now even my US visa. At least the conference (ECS) will have one less poster to ignore.
US Visa Review: Major revison, try next year.

Due to the rising cost of medical tests, all you need to do is pee under a tree
1. If ants gather "diabetes"
2. If grass dries up = "high salts"
3. If it smells like bbq = "high cholesterol"
4. If you forget to pull up your pants, "Alzheimer's".
Reinforcing Redundancy
Interesting how most NPDF fellows are already working as post-docs, so the fellowship essentially funds people to continue doing exactly what they’re already doing. A remarkable experiment in reinforcing redundancy under the banner of research support.
GMs are knowledge ecosystems. Rushing, skipping explanations, or showing poor attitude disrupts learning and wastes effort. Everyone invests valuable time to listen, share, and contribute, so clarity and respect turn meetings into the true drivers of innovation.
