Julia Frank

Physics PhD student writing GPU-accelerated simulations. I document the workflows nobody teaches you, the ones you learn by breaking things. Mom of 4, somehow.

Honoured to see my cover art featured on the Front Cover of Nano Letters! :)
#nanomagnetism with #julialanguage

Grateful to my supervisors and reviewers for helping shape this work: “Monopole Current Control in Artificial Spin Ice via Localized Fields” https://t.co/OzDukKoZxP

I did not imply you should buy MacBook. I was just saying that more RAM, regardless of the brand, is probably a better option. Or at least something where you can expand the RAM later, as other commenters mentioned.

Before my MacBook, I had a Lenovo ThinkPad ( for 7 years), which came with 8GB RAM originally. But I later had to add more ram to it.

@CityCoderUS @DedalusDev Thank you! :)

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

@DedalusDev @CityCoderUS Thanks, Shawn! 😉

Happy Bday to you little bro, too ( that’s gold, btw 👍, how you still call him “little”)!

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

@DedalusDev @CityCoderUS It’s my Mom’s Birthday today. So she is only 16 according to leap years :)

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

@webdevcody I had it done 15 years ago. I’ve never regretted it.

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

That’s what Wiki says.

At first, I felt offended not to find #julialang in this table.

But then I realized that the map is from 2012 - Julia Language birth year🙂.

I've programmed in 25 languages from this periodic table of programming languages.

@imYerf Happy Birthday, Penny! 🎈

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

@DedalusDev No doubt! The same goes for sleep. If I sleep any less than 6 hours, it’s a wasted day!

@CharityWoodrum Amazing! 🤩
Congratulations 🎉 and well done! 👍
Where there is a will, there is a way.

@FitFounder Thanks for the reminder, Dan!

@daboigbae That pic is accurate for describing my current situation, even as a non-programmer 😅

Well, I’m technically a computational physics grad student. :)

The dude on the right - my research project. 🙃

I'm looking for suitable reviewers for the submission

Anybody able to review this submission for JOSS?

Retweet, because it’s Niels Bohr. 🤓

Jokes aside, it’s so true!

[Arnold Parge @code_like_parge]

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes. 💪🏼 🚀 🔥

@AndrewRedUK I love working in my home office! Luckily, my work location is mostly flexible, so I can choose where to work from on most days.

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

I would start by asking yourself some questions like

“How am I different?”
“What new perspective can I bring in?”

Obviously, there are basic rules and strategies that should not be neglected, even if it means to “copy” them.

But when it comes to content or a product, the answers to at least the questions above should help to understand how to be different.

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

Yes, it is very easy to get lost in the code improvement process, while the time could’ve been spent better on further ideas development.

My supervisor used to always tell me that the code is only a tool to reach our goal, and we should focus more on the goal ( whatever it is), than on the tool (provided it produces the correct results).

[Julia Frank @juliaifrank]

I used to be scared to touch #Git #VersionControl.
Turns out, it's not that intimidating 😅.

Now, I hit a point in my research project, where I NEED to learn how to use Git VC properly.

I did not strictly need it for the first year. But as the project becomes more complex, grows new "branches" (different research directions of the same project), there is no way around it anymore.

I found an excellent resource by @AnnaSkoulikari , which helped me to make sense of basic usage of Git very quickly. Here Udemy course is amazingly clear and concise! Check it out, if you need any quick and clear help with Git VC. Highly recommend.
