And more computational chemistry. Wahoo!

[Alex Kaplan @alexkaplan0]

Incredibly, a similar paper was published to the arXiv on the 29th from the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science!

"The existence of these peculiar flat bands may be connected with the experimentally observed remarkable superconducting properties of LK-99."

[RJ Nowling @discretestates]

Yay for computational chemistry!

[Alex Kaplan @alexkaplan0]

WE ARE OFFICIALLY BACK

@sineatrix finds a theoretical basis for superconductivity in Cu-doped Lead Apatite.

Isolated flat bands at the Fermi level is a hallmark of superconducting crystals. LK99 has it!!!!

This is huge

Preparing materials for an advanced database systems course. It’s been fun getting into the nitty-gritty of converting data structures from in-memory to on-disk representations. Also enjoying doing it in #dlang

@TaliaRinger @safetysquirrel and I are also waiting for Barbie to start

Can you guess what happens when you provide temporary financial assistance to those at risk of homelessness?

...
...

You *massively* reduce the chances that those people experience homelessness.

The benefits to homelessness prevention exceed costs.

@rhatr Most millennials like me are working on non-Apache open source projects these days. Some are part of the Cloud Native Foundation, but most are independent projects. ASF isn’t the center of the big data world like it used to be, especially with things more data scienc-y now

I would call today successful. Lots of progress on class prep, successful call with potential corporate partner, helped some students, walked the dog, went Rambo on the weeds taking over our garden, and overcame key technical hurdles with a consulting project.

What is more clear than ever is that American school children need also lessons on African history pre-Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Because the ignorance African architecture, technology and centers of learnings by educated adults is just breathtaking. Like, stunning.

OK, I wrote a blog post about my experiences hitting The Wall in mathematics and then getting past it once I learned more about myself. I hope people enjoy it

Milwaukee really needs a @pollotropical. I want to be able to get Diet Coke and plantains from a drive thru

Can Biology students succeed when working 20+ hours outside of class?

It doesn’t look great, and we have work to do 😬 we were excited to present alongside the excellent posters at #SABER2023 and discuss new strategies to lift this population

@samjsutton I’m jealous

Pro-tip: block off your calendar the morning after travel days, in case of flight delays. My last trip was delayed by 2.5 hours, I got to sleep at 1:30am, then I had back-to-back meetings all morning

[RJ Nowling @discretestates]

Being in first class for my flights to and from my grandparents’ has not been a good move for my ego…

How ending legacy #admissions 10 years ago changed @JohnsHopkins. Since 2013, the % of students in our incoming classes who have a family connection dropped from 8.5% to 1.7%, and % of first-generation or limited-income students rose from 16.7% to 30.8%. https://t.co/zu2QeHLwbT

@TaliaRinger I feel that. I definitely have moments like that on the regular in this job.
