Had an awesome time at the Gordon Research Conference for Granular Matter 2024! Went with a poster, ended up winning the poster prize (❗️😵‍💫🤩), and gave my 1st talk as a result… what a time! Also, shoutout to @ecpbreard for the cool volcano/chicken stickers 🌋

#DunePartTwo We modelled in #MoFEM the weather system on Arrakis. During storms, sand reaches the stratosphere, is ionised and creates an aurora, in the blue colour of the eyes of desert people. @mofemjoseph

100% true!
Every academic needs friends who have no idea what you research and don't care.

Shedded my 1st PhD tears from this grant. Does this mean I’m officially inducted as a PhD student now? 🥲

FINESST 2024 SUBMITTED. The past three weeks (especially last week) is the most stressed I’ve been, and hardest I’ve worked, since I started my Ph.D. That was brutal. 10/10 do not recommend. I hope the proposal gets funded! It’s awesome, honest work!

Today I went to grab a quick bite with a friend after work. We witnessed an elderly man fall and bust his face is 3 places right before we ordered food. We called 911 and waited for his wife…. In recognition of how fickle life is, we sat, got a bottle of wine, and had dinner.

In such a shit storm of a time for us both, it was grounding to be reminded of what really matters most above ALL else… our relationships with the people we love.
