This is a valuable and honest analysis of the present predicament without the feel good factor. I am glad serious thinkers are coming out with their perspectives. I hope it does not trigger insults from sycophants protecting the failed policies. @TVMohandasPai

ALS unfolds through a domino-like sequence of events, according to new @NorthwesternMed research.

The findings help explain why ALS worsens over time, why some patients progress faster than others & how future treatments could be more personalized. https://t.co/A3E2B3k9ao

McCormick’s Junsoo Kim has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the foundation’s top honor for early-career faculty.

Kim will use the award to study why soft materials like gels and rubbers crack and wear out.

Congrats, Junsoo!

VIDEO | Celebrated author Ruskin Bond, who is turning 92 soon, opened up on his journey as a writer and 'friendship', while talking about his new book 'All-Time Favourite Friendship Stories' at a school in Dehradun.

He says, "I've spent a better part of my life talking to young people like you, I'd say thank you, because you kept me going, for 75 years of writing books, like this one, and others, I've written a couple of hundred since I began. When I was your age, I began right here in Dehradun. I was good in English, History, Geography, well I have to confess, I couldn't pass in Maths or Physics or Chemistry. I thought wiser thing would be to be a writer, so I started writing stories. In the beginning, it was hard to get them published... You didn't get paid much those days... But anyways, in Rs 5, you could get many things, nowadays you need more money. Next week I'll be 92. I began when I was 17. I hope I will be writing longer, let's see how it goes, life has been good to me. Friendship is important. This is about friendship."

The body can notice stress before the conscious brain—& that’s no lie. 🔎

@NorthwesternEng researchers developed a small, wireless & wearable polygraph system. Unlike the ones used in TV crime dramas, this version senses underlying stress within the body. https://t.co/7KiUgaMJ1O

Few people have shaped @NorthwesternU as profoundly as Mark A. Ratner. 💜
Thank you to Northwestern Now for honoring Mark’s extraordinary life and legacy, and his impact as a scientist, mentor, collaborator and community builder.

Mark Ratner once asked a question that seemed almost philosophical: could molecules replace the components of electronic devices?

That question opened up an entire field. Today, we mourn the loss of a founder of IIN and a giant of nanoscience.

Mark A. Ratner (1942–2026):
A groundbreaking chemist, beloved mentor, gifted teacher, and intellectual force, Mark leaves behind a legacy that transformed chemistry, nanoscience, and molecular electronics for generations to come. #RIP

I had my second APE today and it really made me realize how much of a PhD is about evolving your thinking, not just your results.
