Vineeth Venugopal @OlivettiGroup crafted new materials science “knowledge graph” MatKG with natural language processing. Researchers can use it to determine a material’s application or which materials have specific properties. Read more in @ScientificData: buff.ly/49KtSro

I wish therapists could learn to multitask - like listening to your problems while cutting your hair. Seems like a productive use of both our times, is intimate, and genuinely unavoidable. Now that I think of it, maybe we should be certifying hair saloonists in psychotherapy...

Hi @OfficialLoganK . Is there a way that research group can get a free or discounted access to the @OpenAI api? Would be game changing for #Science

My visa is stuck in processing hell and it's been two months. They did the exact same thing last year when I joined the postdoctoral program that I'm renewing my visa for. I'm still the same person and my profile is unchanged . Not sure what the US is deliberating. #USvisa
