I was also really looking forward to showing off these awesome new pins from @littlescienceco at the #apsmarch meeting - but hey, now y'all can see them up close here instead 🙂✨

Dear Americans - Please VOTE today. And vote Democratic. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz promise our country a future for everyone. The alternative promises only corruption, hate, and a return to the most shameful moments of our past. Please make the right choice. 💙

If you're at #apsmarch go watch the session "S29: Speaking up for the human rights of scientists" (recording online). Every scientist should be aware of this advocacy work from Sakharov's time to today, especially in light of Putin's ongoing atrocities in #Ukraine.

This is in less than an hour! If you're at #apsmarch in person, check out our talks in the session "N69: Polarization switching and phase transitions in ferroelectrics". Lorenzo @lgigli90 will be speaking first about our ML potential energy surface and phase transitions.

It could not be more obvious that Britain has problem with institutional and systemic racism. We do not need any more apologies or investigations without action. We need policy and a practice upheaval which will support ethnic minority people at all stages of their lives.

Interesting - wonder if the ERC or other grant agencies are planning similar policies? Removing the impact factor and other flawed metrics is a big positive step, but I wonder about the "academic age" -- really, we shouldn't need to put _any_ age at all. snf.ch/en/wBR6E3emu8PP1ZSY/n…
I feel like such a child, giggling uncontrollably after learning that the Finnish word for "tree" is "puu" (yes, it's pronounced like the English word "poo", as far as I can tell)

Apparently it also means "wood", so even better. Q: What natural product is among Finland's most important exports? A: Puu.

Ok, I better stop before I get into the "log" puns and this thread falls truly off the edge of bad taste.

Recording my presentation for #apsmarch and it feels exactly like when one of the queens on #DragRace gets in her head during an acting challenge and just cannot spit out her lines 🤦‍♂️ ...maybe it's #fremdschämen karma
Finally, some good news out of Russia

They must have been thinking of this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoye…

Btw this is the perfect picture to look at after you've been reading too much actual news involving Russia: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F…
