Because many universities are closed due to COVID19, students who are unable to attend their lectures on microfluidics may find my free online course "Intro to Microfluidics" at https://t.co/sTD2lXZFHw useful.
The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠
"I like blackboards much the best. I think they are better in a way. Whiteboards I'm not so keen on, but they're not so much worse than blackboards.”
- 2020 physics laureate Roger Penrose on his love of blackboards.

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning.

Every year, every bloody year, I have to educate some entitled and poorly read Indian male commentator on stubble burning. Farmers don’t just get up one day and say “yay let’s burn some stubble”
I’m just going to attach my thread from last year. Just read guys, just read! 🤦🏽♀️
An infant was mauled to death by a stray dog in this Noida Sector 100 housing society. When dogcatchers came, doglovers of this fancy gated community chased them away.
The child's parents per reports were labourers working in the society.
Elite of #India remains unreformed.
Happy to share that my PhD student Sufia Khatoon received the best poster award at SIAM conference on mathematics of data science, San Diego, for her work on Bayesian inference for inverse problems in thermo-fluid systems using polynomial chaos and Karhunen-Loeve expansions!
RIP Frank White. Like most students of fluid mechanics, I used his book for my first undergraduate course on fluid mechanics and that on viscous fluid flow in the graduate school. His contributions to fluid mechanics education are unparalleled!
Yesterday the "lg Nobel Prize" in Physics 2022 was awarded to a @JFluidMech study explaining how ducklings swim at a certain sweet spot behind their mother, the mother duck's waves help to propel the ducklings forward.

@ramgopal_rao At the end of their degrees (PhD/Masters/Bachelors), they end up learning nothing. The only viable solution of preventing this is discouraging overnight success stories. Relating success with careful engineering, design, and manufacturing of products. (2/2)
