Big shout out to Emiru on Microsoft Community Hub for your brilliance (https://t.co/dBIyIuVIoD). You saved me. You're a hero.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I want to acknowledge the most ridiculous Microsoft "feature" I have encountered: my Excel was freezing whenever I tried to bold text. The solution? Apparently changing my default printer to "Print to PDF" ... obviously.

There's still time! @CornellAEP is hiring for a tenure-track faulty position. If you or anyone you know is an outstanding applied physics researcher/teacher (and doesn't mind being my colleague), please apply and share! https://t.co/Hfb2Gi55kQ

To the bravest and strongest person I had the privilege of knowing - this captures only a little bit of what she did: https://t.co/oKgxvqUToF

@jennifer_fowlie My family lives in philly! Are you still stuck? Can supply clothes :)

Finally not (submitted), (under review), or (in press)!!

Our work demonstrating you can make a magnet better using THz light is now online @Nature. Fantastic collaboration incl. @MPSDHamburg @NarangLab @mpifkf.

@atbrady Duuuuuuude!!! Doing us proud! Can’t wait to see it

@sentefmi Riveting stuff! Loved the plot twists. Around N=8 I was worried but the ending was very satisfying.

Twisted #graphene reminds me of the evolution of shavers in the last decades 😅

@RBComes @kumahlab @MJ20082 I personally would feel good about a test (rapid ok) + vaccination requirement for attendees + masking strongly encouraged. Maybe I’m on the too cautious side. Having masks and things like sanitizer available is super helpful too.

[Ankit Disa @desi_nerd]

Even more relevant today, given what’s happened in the last 6 years…

Pretty harsh wake up call for scientists ignoring politics:

@jennifer_fowlie I know what you mean. For now, I can say that I stand with anyone who doesn’t want to be forced to give birth for whatever reason, and I will aid those who need help finding care.

For all my academic friends: I know it’s “safer” to not take a stance, but silence is not an option right now. So much seems to be going backwards in this country so quickly. Deciding what happens with one’s own health/life/body is a basic human right.

[Ankit Disa @desi_nerd]

I did it!!! Finally reached 500+ connections status on @LinkedIn. I want to thank all of those high school friends I haven’t talked to in years for accepting my connect requests. #networking #almostfamous

@MJ20082 @IfThenSheCan @500womensci @Momademia @WomeninAcademi1 @AIP_HQ Second @jennifer_fowlie! Lots of great people listed so far. Can also suggest Sophie Beck, Nicole Benedek, Sinead Griffin, Karin Rabe, Nicola Spaldin on the theory side. Lena Kourkoutis, Claribel Dominguez, Beatriz Noheda on experimental side.

@David_Abergel @NaturePhysics Congratulations David! I seem to recall you telling me that you would love that job. Very happy for you that you got it!

[Ankit Disa @desi_nerd]

@jennifer_fowlie I met Brian Josephson a couple years ago at the Lindau meeting and spoke with him at length. I’m not going to lie—he has some good points. Plus, he’s a super nice dude and probably did a lot of psychedelics so I give him a pass.

[Ankit Disa @desi_nerd]

@jennifer_fowlie Mine too! In fact my whole dissertation was dedicated to my cat 😹

[Ankit Disa @desi_nerd]

@DanielePreziosi So sad I can’t make it this year! Such a beautiful venue! Hope you were able to catch my talk on light control of magnetism. I’ll definitely stop by your poster.
