@bat__go Thank you for sharing Bat. It’s somewhat eerie how similar these experiences of work-life balance are, and I think when people share their stories, as you have, it helps to normalize, well, normal experiences that we typically hide from others or ignore entirely.

@KontisP This is why I’ve advocated wherever I can to redact names and affiliations for proposal and manuscript reviews - at least for the main technical portions! Also, I can’t believe the editor/PM even let this review through - unprofessional!

This article provides an understanding of underlying atomistic mechanisms behind experimentally observed unprecedented thermo-mechanical properties and the guidelines to design low-fatigue ultrafine grain shape memory alloys. @StrachanMSELab @Mat_Sci_Mike authors.elsevier.com/a/1egqr_UwYsFM…

Who else do I need to be following on twitter? 🤔

Heading back from the really great 2nd HEA World Congress in Charlotte sponsored by @TMSSociety Was awesome to see so many familiar faces and their great work! @TasanGroupMIT @kvvamsi @geo_tms (and many others who I can’t find on twitter). Looking forward to HEA 2023!

MSE/ME friends - is teaching Mohr’s circle still useful in mechanics / constitutive behavior of materials courses? We can easily solve for principal and max shear stresses and rotate coordinate systems in less than 5 lines of python code… maybe it’s still useful as a vis. aid…

Is this the ultimate high entropy alloy? … (Skip to 14:40) m.youtube.com/watch?v=8IeEDK…

@ManuettosNotes May have a candidate for you… please email!

Student: When will we ever use probability in the real world? Teacher: You’ll use it to determine if a Minecraft speedrunner cheated. @standupmaths with a great video clearly explaining probability and introducing the 10B-Human-Second-Century Odds: youtube.com/watch?v=8Ko3Td…

Big congrats to friend and colleague Chelsea Davis on her NSF CAREER award! engineering.purdue.edu/MSE/news/2021/… polymerinterfacialmechanics.com @PurdueEngineers

Just need to find that << one >> very specific pipe fitting...

Reposting: I have a postdoc position on architected materials using metal additive manufacturing in collaboration with a manufacturing company. US citizenship or green card is required. For more information: linkedin.com/posts/pablozav…

@smathaudhu The Meta-Failure is the best kind of failure.

@Mat_Sci_Mike This Profs failure resume is amazing: princeton.edu/~joha/Johannes… I do think we should be more open about such things.

CVs are often jam-packed with successes. Does anyone else keep a list of "undesired outcomes" to show that success doesn't come without failure? Should such a list be included in the public version of a CV?

@PabloZavattieri your paper also made it on Wired! (Also what’s with that year-long review process? Whew...) #intcid=_wired-homepage-right-rail_0e91f721-49c5-41c3-bdbb-7d1291a6722f_popular4-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wired.com/story/how-the-…

Certified young person Paul Rudd wants you to wear a mask. Listen up:

@ChadSinclairYVR My first class this semester: power in North campus went out halfway through. Wifi apparently works on backup generator, so I pulled out my laptop and streamed my slides to the in class students, sitting in front of me woth their laptops. What a time to be alive.

⁦@eric_jaegle⁩ makes it to Ars Technica with Damascus, and now ⁦@TasanGroupMIT⁩ featured in Wired. Who knew steels would make the front pages of Tech sites so often? wired.com/story/why-do-r…

Open postdoc position (see link)! Work will model oxidation behavior in high temperature materials. Please help spread the word. Can probably work remotely for this position as well! engineering.purdue.edu/TitusGroup/res…

First raspberry harvest of the year for us. Much better than last year, when they were infested with insects... (also I like how the bowl magnifies the berries)
