Finally some (albeit slightly limited) success. 3D printed #PLA case can hold just a little bit of liquid nitrogen to keep the #superconductor inside colder for longer, allowing it to levitate above magnets and fly around the #möbius strip track for about 1min.@FLEETCentre 👩‍🔬

@XRay_Grill @MonashUni She got mentioned on Workplace but only by @Monash_Science . Did no one else notice that she won?

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

I consider myself both an extrovert, and an introvert, depending on my mood. Why, oh why, am I having an #introvert day when I have the opportunity to network? 🤦‍♀️ @MonashUni #IWD #InternationalWomenDay2023

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

I just can't stop rolling my eyes at this! 🙄

[Dr. Erin Brodie @eg_brodie]

Haha - what? Why is the exact same course for women more expensive??? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ @MonashUni

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@eg_brodie @MonashUni I'm just sitting here stunned, unsure of how to respond to this. Oh the irony

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@eg_brodie @actualmontaigne Same! I always enjoy the types of things that come out of diversity events, but often walk out feeling hopeless at the dame time.

@eg_brodie @citsabehsan @jason_brenker .@XRay_Grill - what's your computing power like??

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@csferrie I just bought six more for my daughter for Christmas, because I cannot continue to sit through her reciting Blockchain for Babies 👏 every 👏 single 👏 night! 😱

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@GardmarM @VicGovAu @MonashUni I would LOVE to have a train there, but @surface_matters would this mess with your work? Normanby Rd is CLOSE to New Horizons!! 🚆🔬

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

😂 at @monashengineers professional staff awards and @ecroft congratulated staff on being most dedicated, hard working, etc. etc. but also most beautiful and handsome!! I knew there was a reason I joined this faculty!! 😆 🤩

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

I'm a little in love with @CSIRO right now - they sent their WFH employees #chocolate! Many thanks, from the spouse of an employee (also #WFH, feel free to send more 🍫😉)

One more day of #remotelearning - let's celebrate making a matchhead rocket! #homescience @FLEETCentre 🚀🧨👩‍🔬

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@drsciman @MacDiarmidInsti @FLEETCentre This was something I really wanted to do. I have lots of sketches of the shape it should be in an attempt to do a @MacDiarmidInsti logo track!!

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

I just got the most gorgeous farewell delivery from @FLEETCentre. I’ve loved my work there so much and have worked with the greatest people. I’ll miss you and I’m glad I’m not actually leaving the building and will see you at the cafe ☕️😍

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@Engineeringkate @ScienceChiefAu @Aus_ScienceWeek @OlgainAus I think it's ok for people to NOT know scientists. I know that I couldn't name five famous lawyers/doctors/bakers/plumbers/other professions. I ❤️ science and scientists, but it can also be considered just a job. Why do we expect people to know scientists?

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

@Monash_Science @Aus_ScienceWeek I didn't know I was going to be in this video. Don't blink or you'll miss my cameo!! 😀👩‍🔬

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

Isn’t half the fun of having kids making them say stuff? View a 3yo saying “topological insulator” #physics #parentlife 😍 👩‍🔬

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

Trying to watch the @QuantumC2T webinar on #quantumcomputing on the first day we have no childcare. There is a 5yo old my lap getting excited every time she hears a word she knows. Thanks @csferrie!! @ausphysics @arc_gov_au @FLEETCentre

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

Yes, I’m wearing active wear at work. I’m only going to be here for an hour so I’m not going to get out of my usual at home-work uniform. Everyone here is just lucky I’m not in pjs! #iso 😊

[Dr Dianne Ruka @Di_Ruka]

What a #diva!! Kidding! @semontis was fantastic (first one up for the day), and did a wonderful job of *pretending* to do her job for the camera 😂🎥👩‍🔬

[Dr. Semonti Bhattacharyya 🇮🇳🇦🇺🇳🇱 @semontis]

Open day is going virtual this year. We are #shooting in the lab with @Di_Ruka and Steve Morton maintaining social distancing. I got to wear the new lab coats with @FLEETCentre logos. @Monash_Science
