Sorry everyone, but I plan to ph@se 0ut this acct by the end of this year. I love my network but the idea of maintaining a professional thread of information here without rational ads and logic is no longer appealing.
Besides LinkedIn, suggestions? Thre@ds or Blu3sky?
Wonderful man. He inspired my whole career.
I’ll follow up with a personal story soon.
Sad news… A giant in fluid mechanics and particulate flows cse.umn.edu/cems/news/memory…
Yes, let’s pretend the cut isn’t punitive.
What you propose is done all of the time. Indirect costs are proposed, rationalized, defended, and reviewed constantly.
How does a single number like 15% for all unis get generated? It was arbitrary. Prove otherwise.
Scientists and universities: defend indirects as a concept but not current indirect rates. Don't think there's waste in those numbers? We (US science) spend $4.5 billion on journals. That is HALF of the proposed cuts in indirects, and eliminating that spending would make science better!
Through our careers as scientists, there have been and will be several challenges that arise. How we weather challenges and persevere is more important than the short-term losses.
Contact your professional network and reach out to support each other. We are in this together.
A conversation with a fiscal conservative about the NIH cuts to indirect costs:
Me: My Alma Mater could lose up to $200M in promised funding
Them: What is their endowment?
Me: Endowment isn’t for this purpose. Are you proposing we tax accumulated wealth?
Them: (crickets)
Got vaccinated today (tetanus and shingles). Modern medicine.
Just search "pictures of tetanus and shingles victims" and you won't hesitate to get yours.
Happy to be a part of this QD-LED work! Congrats @YimanXu2!
🎉Excited to share that our work on Landau–Levich scaling for optimizing quantum dot layer morphology and thickness in quantum-dot light-emitting diodes has been published in ACS Nano @acsnano!
✨Huge congrats to Yiman Xu @YimanXu2 for this achievement! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Outstanding and well deserved @JenniferALewis1!
#NASmember Jennifer A. Lewis of @hseas and @wyssinstitute will receive the 2025 James Prize in Science and Technology Integration for pioneering contributions to the programmable assembly of soft functional, structural, and biological materials! nasonline.org/award/james-pr… #NASaward
Transparency and efficiency never resulted from shutting down communications.

Celebrating the end of winter break skiing in Steamboat, CO! See you at the start of Spring 2025 semester next week!
@LehighU
End of Semester:
Pulling hair out trying to balance research deadlines, grading, committee meetings and wondering why I do this to myself.
Week before semester starts:
Sure, I'll sign up for everything that looks interesting!

I am looking for a postdoc to join ASAP and PhD students to join in Spring/Fall 2025, in experimental fluid mechanics and soft matter. More information can be found: tanglab.sites.northeastern.e…. Please encourage interested candidates to directly email me. RTs appreciated!
