@nanobrumberg It helps that the boxes of food have the french names on them, which is great for vocab. However I had never actually said avoine out loud before....and it came out as avion XD

@AllisonWustrow Amazing. Thank you for teaching me the word for oatmeal btw. This mistake is hilarious because I think avion is like, a French 1 word whereas in all my years of French I somehow never learned oatmeal... so mixing them up is really funny to me

Interested in Sherbrooke but nervous about the French? I have been at UdeS for 2.5 years, and while I did mix up airplane (avion) and oatmeal (avoine) today, I also taught a class, welcomed an intern and chatted with colleagues in the language . If I can do it, so can you: DM me!

@nanobrumberg I made delicious chocolate chip airplane cookies :)

@AllisonWustrow So did you refer to your oatmeal as an airplane, or call an airplane oatmeal?

One week left to apply to the faculty position in the Chemistry Department at Université de Sherbrooke! We are looking for a new colleague to add to our team. usherbrooke.ca/emplois/filead…

Can't mention great colleagues without citing my sources: @JeromeClaverie1 @CYL_Lab @MacGillivrayRG, @ebiosensors and the many less twitter-inclined profs who make this a wonderful place to work (and who celebrate grant results with 'poutine au chocolat')

Think this opportunity sounds really cool, but don't speak any French? Don't worry, I didn't either! Sherbrooke is willing to help with the francisation (yes that is a word here) process. I am happy to answer any questions concerning this (or anything else)

Université de Sherbrooke chemistry is hiring a tenure track professor. Great colleagues, great students and a great town: what more could you want? @chemjobber @chemfacultyCDN #facultychemjobs #chemjobscanada usherbrooke.ca/emplois/filead…

@LatturnerGroup @ProfJuliaChan They should make shirts! We could use a rival faction

@ProfJuliaChan There are several awesome Julias here too!

So exciting to see the awesome Solid-State #GRC AL**SON. Excellent science!

@SaifulAdvMatLab @FryPetit @LatturnerGroup @Sviatium @GordonConf Ok just let me know what time I need to pick you up!

@FryPetit @LatturnerGroup @Sviatium @GordonConf @AllisonWustrow Will get it in the morning!! Just landed to Boston!!

Looks like that IT snafu is having longer term effects. My flights tomorrow are being rescheduled/rerouted. Hope to make it to the solid state chemistry @GordonConf ....wish me luck!

@Vero_Augustyn @No_Holz I was looking forward to your talk! Are they going to try to shuffle the schedule so that you can give it later?

@Vero_Augustyn If you can get to Boston there is a bus to New London (Dartmouth Coach) and then I can get you to Colby Sawyer. Good luck! (Also Noah just gave an awesome talk!)

@Sviatium @SaifulAdvMatLab @LatturnerGroup @GordonConf Dartmouth coach! I can pick you up from the bus stop in New London. If more than 4 people are on the bus Sviatoslav can come with a second car

@SaifulAdvMatLab @LatturnerGroup @GordonConf If you folks take a bus and it brings you within 30-40 miles, I can pick you up.

@JasonKhoury1 @taylordsparks Safe travels! Let me know if you need a lift from the park and ride

Geez, I made it home, but so many people missed their flights. The line for customer service in the Salt Lake airport stretches for half the terminal and has hundreds of people in it.

Materials research is strong in Quebec and at Sherbrooke! Congrats to Pierre-Luc and Julie for being selected as the best presentation in their respective divisions at the @CQMF_QCAM meeting!

@IyerAbishek @MercouriK Welcome (back) to the Canadian solid state community!

🎉Big news alert! Thrilled to announce that I’ve officially joined the University of Manitoba, Canada, as an Assistant Professor! Huge thanks to my mentors, @MercouriK and Arthur Mar, for their unwavering support throughout my journey.

@nanobrumberg Thats insane! May your next apartment have in unit laundry!

@AllisonWustrow We have an app, BUT: they just replaced two machines, and those two machines haven't been integrated with the app yet. So yes, for those two machines you need to use SIXTEEN QUARTERS which effectively means they are useless.

My apartment building increased the price of the washer and dryers to $4, so now it costs me $8 to do a load of laundry so I guess I just won't ever be doing that again
