@cyclocrossguy @BiophysicalSoc @Rocheleau_QM3 Hey, I know that group! Have fun!

[Amir Farnoud @FarnoudLab]

@MarkBlenner @arthijayaraman Higher teaching loads, worse lab spaces less internal funding, collaborators, etc. eventually drives many people out. Unfortunately, I see this only getting worse over time…

[Amir Farnoud @FarnoudLab]

@MarkBlenner @arthijayaraman I think the gap between universities is also growing. A lot of folks go to academia for a chance to do groundbreaking research, but the funding environment at certain universities is more difficult than others, making the funding playing field uneven…1/2

[Amir Farnoud @FarnoudLab]

A faculty and a postdoc reached out to me today seeking advice about leaving academia…I don’t think this transition is talked about enough. If you’re considering, please reach out. I’m happy to share my (limited) experience.

[Amir Farnoud @FarnoudLab]

@MMBurdickIsHere @ssumit12 😁 Neither of you owe me anything, you were great teaching partners for years! Glad to see the material is coming in handy!

Great listen for those interested in chess.

Here's my conversation with @MagnusCarlsen, World Chess Champion, highest-rated chess player in history, and widely considered to be the greatest chess player of all time. https://t.co/bfWHbTHvJ2

So well deserved! Not only an outstanding advisor, but also an outstanding (former) colleague!

Help me blow this up on twitter. My cousin has stage 4 uterine cancer and a bleak prognosis. She’s a writer and started a blog about her cancer experience. Please visit and RT.

@FordVersyptLab @Michael_Shirts @ChESS_2022 Hey @FordVersyptLab ! Do you think you’d be open to sharing these with industry folks as well? Perhaps with special credit if they’ve been former academics :-)

@NanoBiochemSCU @jonostaley DLS and food 🙌

Magnus is a real-life study on how to become the best and then aspire to become even better!

[chess24 @chess24com]

Magnus: "I’m excited to get back to where I was back in 2011, 2012, start of 2013, where I was all set on trying to improve, trying to be better, do the right things, play the tournaments, be the best in the world… and not care about the World Championship!"

[chess24 @chess24com]

BREAKING NEWS: @MagnusCarlsen, the World Chess Champion since 2013, will NOT defend his title in 2023! See his full explanation why:

I don’t personally know Hirad, but I am rooting for him from afar in his fight against cancer. Sharing here so my network can consider donating.

Thanks @SaEdNazemi for sharing.

Chess is not a game, chess is life. Games are for fun, life is for real.

I had limited interactions with Dr. Pedersen, but enough to know what a great person he was. And his body of work in sustainable nano speaks for itself. What a big loss, my heart goes out to his family and loved ones…

[Pedersen Lab @PedersenLab]

We are heartbroken over the passing of our advisor, Joel. Here is the link to the memorial website, where you can read memories of Joel and support his family. https://t.co/e3ljkhzxoz
