Shameless academic flex moment 😅 Our Small Methods article on scalable electrochemical exfoliation of MoS2 has been now recognized as a Wiley Top Viewed Article. Not top cited yet, but happy that it's widely read. I'll take it. Article link 🔗 in below OP:

Some rays of hope. At a time when science and beliefs are consistently blurred even in premier institutes, it’s quite reassuring to see voices standing for evidence, question claims, and engage with empathy, despite all odds. ✨

@jomagellan Congratulations Joana! ✨

I'm extremely honored to receive this recognition from a community that means so much to me, in the 30th anniversary of #MSCA and my 20th anniversary of becoming a fellow. My most sincere thank you and congratulations to my colleague awardees! ❤️

So IIT Madras invited an RSS ideologue who knows neither music nor science to speak at a music event. Catch is, NASA proved Om. Newton invented thermodynamics. India: $76B on R&D. China: $786B. Why more funding? Vedas got it all covered. Someone please tell NASA & CERN. #Shame

Academia can be difficult in ways that are not discussed enough. Mental health struggles, discrimination, and bullying are more common than we admit, especially for early-career scientists navigating this quietly. This needs to be addressed, so please do participate and amplify!

A materials science talk just invoked thermodynamics to rationalize “more defects” in some people… illustrated with a familiar reference. Science communication is evolving. #MATSUS26

We often navigate science through known names, collaborations, and sophisticated methods. They're important, but so is staying open to simpler ideas, less visible directions and loosen our own assumptions. #Reflection from @nanoGe_Conf #MATSUS2026

Exciting week ahead at @nanoGe_Conf #MATSUS26. Looking forward to great science and conversations that hold up beyond the slides!

Honored to be invited to serve as an Official Nominator for the @vinfutureprize , recognizing technological innovations that improve lives and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. A tiny role in a larger conversation about science and impact.

ഗ്യാസില്ല, ഗ്യാസില്ല എന്നൊക്കെ വെറുതെ പറയുന്നതാണ്. യുഡിഎഫ്, എൽഡിഎഫ് നേതാക്കളിൽ പലർക്കും ഗ്യാസുണ്ട് - രാജീവ് ചന്ദ്രശേഖരജി

Russian scientific diaspora being labeled “undesirable” shows how science is heavily tied to geopolitics. Scientific diaspora, once bridges between research systems, are now viewed as national security risks. Even the same western democracies investigate foreign talent programs.

When access to education, work, safety, and voice can still be contested, simply being a woman becomes political. A reminder of why #InternationalWomensDay matters.

Congratulations Team India! Happy for #SanjuSamson ♥️

Haven’t heard a response this clear and well-defined from a leader in a long time. Moments like this make me feel glad to be living in Spain. #PedroSanchez , Prime Minister of Spine.
