Congratulations! The Indian earthquake in Toronto is the culmination of the shifting tectonic plates in the chess world as the 17 year old Gukesh D will face the Chinese champion Ding Liren for the highest title. The "children" of Vishy Anand are on the loose!

With 5 out of 8 contestants are Indians and Americans in the chess candidates, It’s becoming more and more difficult on whom to support every single day….

"If I lose, that's life. If I win, that's great," says @GMHikaru after beating Caruana.

"The critical moment was after this [25.]Re3 move, he used like 20+ minutes and I think it's because he missed this [25...]Nf4 [26.]h4."

Gukkkkeeeessssshhhhhhhhh

Gukesh defeats Vidit and is the first player to reach 5 points 🔥🔥🔥 #FIDECandidates

[Joshua David John Rathinaraj @DavidRathinaraj]

The FIDE chess candidates just became so much more interesting #viditftw

My roommate
@VenkatArun95
is off to Austin to start as assistant professor at UT Austin. I know he’ll be a great mentor because I had the first hand experience of learning to cook from him 😂 Will miss all our 10 pm conversations on science, india, dating etc…

Ever wondered how to obtain both time and frequency resolution of material properties? Or how to probe rich data of nonlinear properties in a single experiment? Check our new paper https://t.co/3wd5HsPRDA…. Can't wait for Rheometers to implement our technique. @garethmckinley

SOR was fun with exciting talks and ideas. Can’t wait to write up the talk I presented on using scientific machine learning for TEVP fluids.

@maanasa_bt @spadjay I couldn’t find anything to do for my references either…

"I'm proudly a mechanician. So is Ted. So was Bernie. So were Wright Brothers, Watt, Newton and Galileo, as well as inventors of elevators and wheels and knives. I feel something like a kinship with them all."

We are mechanicians.

The empirical Cox-Merz rule has puzzled the rheology community over the last 50 years for its excellent agreement. We (myself, Bavand and @garethmckinley) explain the reasons behind why/ when the Cox-Merz rule work based on continuum mechanics approach. https://t.co/cuMlVAz2CH

Signal processing and system identification are pure magic. They need more attention in rheometry and soft matter. I am generally off to sleep at 9 but I couldn’t force myself to sleep tonight thinking of binary stochastics as a better alternative for chirp signals.

Knowing English is key to access many high-paying opportunities. Yet only ~22% of Indians speak English, and this number is not growing very fast. In this article I discuss why machine translation is key to solving this problem, and what we can do to help

Very happy to share our published work on using chirps in orthogonal superposition. We show how relaxation spectra (in different directions) are affected by shear rate. We also present a novel way in detecting flow induced anisotropies. @garethmckinley

@DoyleGroupMIT Congratulations @DevchemE

[Joshua David John Rathinaraj @DavidRathinaraj]

This perfectly summarizes me entering 2022. Happy new year! 😄

[Joshua David John Rathinaraj @DavidRathinaraj]

Haven’t come to terms with what just happened! I often joke with friends that your slow, steady voice and deep thoughts before uttering every word reminds of Obama’s speeches. Will miss you! You’re scientific work will live on. It was a pleasure working with you! Thank you Jim.

[Gareth McKinley @garethmckinley]

I still can’t quite believe i have to write this…we published 4 papers together in the last 2 years and just had a fantastic zoom call with sponsors Thursday afternoon reviewing data and ideas for 2+ more. Your inspiring ideas, mentoring & students live on! Excelsior!! JS 🦢⌛️

[Joshua David John Rathinaraj @DavidRathinaraj]

My first paper came out today! We find that the exponent of rate-thinning is set by linear viscoelastic properties for materials that exhibit strong damping at large strains and by the strain damping parameters for materials that exhibit weak damping!

Please stop by and talk to our student presenters for MERE at La Sala tomorrow! Here is the link to the Lightning talks: https://t.co/uJrQjc5Vcr

My first journal paper as a grad student got accepted! This is a bit special because I worked on this with my friend Keshavarz. As my advisor @garethmckinley says, “You write for eternity”, my little contribution is going to be out there as men may come and men may go :)
