We never requested future delivery! We have to go out of station and cannot receive this product anymore. No customer care number available anywhere! And no response to our complaint for 3 days. It was supposed be delivered on Aug 26th.

Congratulations @Jain_Physics !

[Jainendra Jain @Jain_Physics]

Grateful to be recognized by @WolfPrize for the composite fermion, and to be in the company of two incredible physicists I greatly admire.

The honor truly belongs to my students, collaborators and numerous other researchers whose brilliant work transformed the composite fermion from an idea to reality.

Looking back, it is hard to believe how incredibly fortunate I have been. Growing up in a poor village in India, traumatized by an accident that left me on crutches with a lifelong disability, I did not think I would ever walk again or attend college, let alone pursue my dream of becoming a physicist. I don’t have words to express my profound gratitude to my family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and even strangers who have helped and supported me at every juncture.

My heartfelt thanks to @ncert for a science scholarship; to @BmvssJaipurFoot for enabling me to pursue higher studies; to Maharaja College @Uniraj_Jaipur, @IITKanpur, @stonybrooku, @condensed_the @UofMaryland, @Yale, @PSUScience @penn_state for taking a chance on me; and to @iiscbangalore, @IISERPune, @TIFRScience, @Infosys Professorship for providing me a home away from home.

Little did I know when the idea of composite fermion first struck me during the Christmas break of 1988 that it would occupy my mind for the next 37 years.  My hope is that this prize will motivate the younger generation to experience the beauty of scientific laws and the thrill of discovery.

Congratulations to Nitin Samarth (my post-doc advisor) for David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Materials Physics @APSphysics March Meeting @PSUScience!

[Saurav Islam @s_randomguy]

Happy to have been selected as one of the recipients of the Young Scientist Award at PCSI, Santa Fe. Would not have been possible without support from Nitin Samarth and @PSUScience. Thank you to the organisers AVS, Chris Palmstrom and Scott Crooker.

So far, when it comes to LK-99, everyone is behaving like the cliché:

China: a bunch of university labs worked to replicate as fast as possible

US: a private company sponsored a replication as a marketing gimmick

Russia: cat girl, but whole thing is unclear

Europe: on holiday

I visited Spencer's at Axis Mall @Spencers_Retail , Newtown Kolkata for shopping and paid using from SBI Credit Card @SBICard_Connect . I was charged a rent processing fee of INR 199+35.82 for payment at Spencer's. Note: I never used the credit card for any rent payment. (1/n)

1/ How are tenure-track #STEM faculty paid in the US? At R1 schools, salaries are $80k-400k+ over 9-mo (pre-tax), from assistant profs to Nobel-types. Deans make ~ 500k, presidents ~ 1M, some college football coaches > 5M/yr. 🧵👇

The Hazardous Device Team was able to render safe the suspicious contents of a checked bag at the University Park Airport. There is no current threat. The airport will return to normal operation at 4:00 a.m.
