What makes a productive #PhD student? A. A SUPPORTIVE supervisor B. SUFFICIENT salary each month C. LIMITED working hours That’s all needed for a PhD fellow to perform productively. Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.resp… ⁦@OpenAcademics⁩ ⁦@PhDVoice⁩

Inspectors, Mr. Suresh and Mr. Kandari were supremely helpful to track down the phone and get it to me. Words can’t explain their efficiency. A million thanks to the entire RGIA PS team. Jai Telengana police, jai hind! @psrgia_cyb @rgiapolice @TelanganaCOPs @RGIAHyd 2/2

@psrgia_cyb @rgiapolice team is the best. I lost my phone on a Uber cab before getting inside @RGIAHyd. I couldn’t reach the phone or the driver. As I approached the police officers, they heard my concern carefully and acted immediately 1/2

Roadmap for becoming Python developer. #python github.com/ErdemOzgen/Pyt…

@kodakandlag What? Cincinnati has got a cricket team made up Bengalis???

@lasttwoneurons Ha ha, can feel you!!! Even it is easier to publish those papers that won't stand a chance for review with a magical touch of ML or DL.

A lot of "science" these days: A novel discovery: 😮‍💨 Some random technique + AI/ML/DL: 👁️👄👁️✨

Did we see this coming? #AcademicTwitter

@DivyaKumar182 Couldn't agree more!!! Very few people are fortunate enough to experience such an incredible experience. It's become mostly luck and less hard work. (those words came from a disgraced student who resigned from a PhD program)

🤩 Golden words 🤩

@kamerlinlab Sorry to hear this. Such agony is always unbearable. Sending ghost hugs!!!

My father is dying. He's comatose and out of it so I can't say goodbye. Dementia already took my Dad from me. He is my best friend, my world is collapsing.

@Nandini01750226 Indeed, that is therapeutic. I oftentimes suggest people to go for a jog outdoors. Greenery does help a lot.

The Japanese have a word "Shinrin-yoku", It translates to "forest bathing". If your stress levels are off the chart, remember to take a walk in the nature, even if it's just a walk around the campus. It will help. #phdlife #MentalHealthMatters

@MatrikaGhimiray @iitbombay @PetaIndia @Manekagandhibjp Can feel you. During @bhupro days, my room mate used to complain a lot why I feed a bunch of puppies in front of the room. Some people do dislike pets, anyways!!! Hope soon things would be better at IITB.

@ChemSumon @iitbombay @PetaIndia @Manekagandhibjp Thanks for sharing. Feeding, I can wrap my head around, that is why there are designated feeding zones for dogs which we do adhere to. The rule is to not even ‘pet’ a dog! I don’t know why even ‘petting’ is a problem for H10 @iitbombay

A fine for petting a dog is too much! This is ironical because Student Wellness Centre of @iitbombay recently had a session on therapeutic role of community dogs! H10 can do better! Petting a dog cannot be a crime! Please share, for visibility. @PetaIndia @Manekagandhibjp

Ah, those lovely colorful palettes of Seaborn... #pythonprogramming

The Longest Equation in Physics The model Lagrangian is a mathematical expression that summarizes the Standard Model of particle physics, which is the most successful theory of the fundamental interactions between elementary particles. It is composed of four different parts, each describing a different aspect of the Standard Model. The model Lagrangian is written in a compact notation that uses symbols and operators from quantum field theory, such as covariant derivatives, field strength tensors, Dirac matrices, and gauge group generators. It also uses various constants and parameters that are determined by experiments, such as coupling constants, masses, and mixing angles. It is one of the longest equations in physics because it contains many terms and factors that account for all the possible interactions and symmetries of the Standard Model. It was transcribed by Thomas Gutierrez who derived it from Martinus Veltman's Diagrammatica: The Path to Feynman Diagrams.

Worried about your supercomputer electricity bill⚡️ We got your back! Model your glycans in minutes with #GlycoSHIELD! Amazing collab w/ @cyril_hanus & Shang-Te Danny Hsu, now in @CellCellPress tinyurl.com/bdhuzbnu @MCB_UJ @MPIbp @maxplanckpress @Inserm @AcadSinica #glycotime

That certainly appears enticing!!! #freeenergy #AcademicTwitter @HummerLab

@MiWieczor Couldn't agree more!!! Interesting point you made. Haven't thought about it this way.

@ChemSumon Yes, beginning of the year 2583 in the Persian imperial calendar, or 1403 in Solar Hijri 🙂 The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to start the year on the first day of spring 🤔🌱

One of the many perks of living with a Persian girlfriend: you get another New Year for free 🤓 نوروز مبارک از بارسلونا 🪴🎈

@MolecularXtal Have always cherished working on a laptop on a train ride, especially when the train passes by the Swiss mountains :)

@psanmur @MedUniGraz Interested. Have sent you a message, and responding here to make sure it hasn't landed in Spam

If you have a MSc in Natural Sciences or will complete it before Dec 2024 and want to learn about computed-aided protein design, you can apply for a 4-months internship grant in Graz @MedUniGraz with us. Interested people, please contact via PM. #CAMDgraz #computchem

Well, for beginners who are maneuvering to write properly formatted code, here is a library that does that for you➡️ pypi.org/project/autope… Happy #pythonprogramming!!! #Python @PythonPr #AcademicTwitter #compchem #machinelearning
