@steingart Oops sorry Mr Dan!

I couldn't help myself.

@steingart Well written Mr Dan!

@UldericoUlissi @JamesTFrith @mjlacey @TheRinRa @NatureComms Agreed!

My initial thoughts on the perspective on the future of lithium-based 🔋, co-authored with @JamesTFrith and @mjlacey and edited by @TheRinRa. My first highlight is on this 📊,🧵👇 You can read the full article on @NatureComms, free and open-access 🌍: nature.com/articles/s4146… /1

@mjlacey @JamesTFrith @UldericoUlissi Why not just call it "industrial" perspective or better yet "real world"?

@mjlacey @LabPikul But unfortunately most of the times the reviewers/editors are also academic and it sometimes becomes you scratch my back I scratch your back!

@mjlacey @LabPikul You make great points! There's a balance and journals or reviewers should not force authors in academia to make industrial level cells for acceptance, especially in high impact journals. Likewise reviewers can call out absurd claims made by authors and they should!

@steingart @DavidFBrand @BaharOstadan @Gothamist @WNYC Not bad…could have been “I love batteries!”- Dan Steingart, Chem Eng Prof at Columbia

Really enjoyed speaking with @DavidFBrand and @BaharOstadan about this. As I typically do, here's a longer answer that the @Gothamist/@WNYC had to edit for length. dansteingart.com/on_batteries_i…

@Andrew_Akbashev Feel like most of them start their own companies.... or if this is for someone who didnt get tenure or decided to make a change?

Former professors, how did you find a position in industry and how did the "move" go? Which position level did you qualify for? This thread will be useful for a lot of people from #academia. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

@Gleb_Yushin @SilaNanotech @GeorgiaTech @ENERGY Congrats Gleb!

Today's news - @SilaNanotech (@GeorgiaTech startup) was selected to receive $100M BIL grant from @ENERGY to support the scaling of its Si anode materials (next gen. Li-ion batteries) to automotive volumes in its Moses Lake factory. This is by far the biggest grant in my life.

@SkySportsPL Fiery game!

TUCHEL VS CONTE: ROUND TWO!!! 🤬🤬

Check out the latest battery developments from our R&D team under leadership from @MakeMnO2great, in collaboration with @CityCollegeNY! 👏👏 . . . urbanelectricpower.com/2022/01/20/hyd…

Just published our work on conversion Zn anodes which covers various failure mechanisms as we increase Zn utilization to increase the energy density of aqueous batteries. Congrats to lead author Michael! Its his 1st paper :) #battchat #batteries #Zinc pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@steingart follow the script, Dan

@steingart Shhh! Its next level!! Apple always takes it a level beyond the normal level!!!...

I mean, I'm about as big a fan boy of apple as there can be, but how excited can we really get for LFP? It's.... Fine. reuters.com/article/uk-app…
