Shameless academic flex moment 😅

Our Small Methods article on scalable electrochemical exfoliation of MoS2 has been now recognized as a Wiley Top Viewed Article. Not top cited yet, but happy that it's widely read. I'll take it.

Pleased to share my latest publication as co-first author. This work introduces a 3D-printable electrode design that can physically constrain and electrically contact gram-scale quantities of powder-based 2D materials for electrochemical intercalation.

Some rays of hope. At a time when science and beliefs are consistently blurred even in premier institutes, it’s quite reassuring to see voices standing for evidence, question claims, and engage with empathy, despite all odds. ✨

[Bharath. @GodofBadPuns]

Woke up with a terrific news! I am published in the Nature (India) magazine 😃
Do read 😊

So IIT Madras invited an RSS ideologue who knows neither music nor science to speak at a music event. Catch is, NASA proved Om. Newton invented thermodynamics.

India: $76B on R&D. China: $786B. Why more funding? Vedas got it all covered.
Someone please tell NASA & CERN.

Academia can be difficult in ways that are not discussed enough. Mental health struggles, discrimination, and bullying are more common than we admit, especially for early-career scientists navigating this quietly.
This needs to be addressed, so please do participate and amplify!

[Silvia Favero @Silvia__Favero]

Academia isn’t always talked about openly.

How common are mental health struggles, discrimination, or bullying?
What drives people to leave?

A materials science talk just invoked thermodynamics to rationalize “more defects” in some people…
illustrated with a familiar reference.
Science communication is evolving. #MATSUS26

[Manila @Manilaov]

We often navigate science through known names, collaborations, and sophisticated methods.
They're important, but so is staying open to simpler ideas, less visible directions and loosen our own assumptions.
#Reflection from @nanoGe_Conf #MATSUS2026

[Manila @Manilaov]

Exciting week ahead at @nanoGe_Conf #MATSUS26. Looking forward to great science and conversations that hold up beyond the slides!

Honored to be invited to serve as an Official Nominator for the @vinfutureprize , recognizing technological innovations that improve lives and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. A tiny role in a larger conversation about science and impact.

Russian scientific diaspora being labeled “undesirable” shows how science is heavily tied to geopolitics. Scientific diaspora, once bridges between research systems, are now viewed as national security risks. Even the same western democracies investigate foreign talent programs.

When access to education, work, safety, and voice can still be contested, simply being a woman becomes political. A reminder of why #InternationalWomensDay matters.

Haven’t heard a response this clear and well-defined from a leader in a long time. Moments like this make me feel glad to be living in Spain.

#PedroSanchez , Prime Minister of Spine.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.
