can’t articulate my decision rule, but easy for me to differentiate between Colorado and Portland (Oregon) hipsters.

Art comes so natural to Pigment R4! We just let it crystalize and look at these sculptures and elaborated paintings on the vial's walls! I really enjoyed this fun project with @Mat_Heeney and Daniel! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

So excited that this news is out! Massive props to first author Yang Liu of @NASAJPL and the @PIXL2020 instrument team, who led one of the four key papers that came out yesterday. And thanks to all of the @NASAPersevere Project for making this discovery possible!

A new discovery in Mars's Jezero Crater @NASAPersevere’s team has found that the ancient lake's floor is made up of volcanic rock rather than the sedimentary rock they expected. Why does this matter? Because volcanic rocks are excellent timekeepers! go.nasa.gov/3QQJ3Xb

According to this excerpt from an actual job ad, asst/assoc professors occasionally bend/stoop/twist, they occasionally walk, and perhaps more importantly, they occasionally kneel and squat. At least they are not required to twerk.

Having a great day @JHUAPL visiting through the Leadership Mentoring Program @NASAJPL ! There is so much great work going on here, from @DragonflyNASA to @ParkerSunProbe. We're learning how to improve collaborations for the future!

If you think the weather is hot, have in mind that this is probably the coldest summer of the rest of your life. #ClimateEmergency

@KM_Hutchins @MartinWard_xtal We usually do DFT optimization with Crystal17, using a very simple modified functional B3LYP-D*. Sure, this is just to relax the structure, this is not a top theoretical calculation at all :)

For the solid state chem and PXRD folks out there - what is the most user friendly software out there to use for simple geometry optimization of a refined structure? There are lots of options out there, but would be good to hear suggestions and opinions, pretty please

@kieslichgroup I don’t know when it started, but I know when it should have stopped: few seconds before authors abbreviated “coordinatively unsaturated metal” centers. I’m not even joking.

Advice to (new) PI: use a separate email address when asking for quotes or for any correspondence with vendors really. Any vendor.

The way how @Wiley_Chemistry journals present PDFs on their websites it’s a perfect example of trying to improve something that doesn’t need improvement, and somehow making it worse.
