Thanks @PhysicsMagazine for highlighting our work!

A model of burst-like activity provides a tool for verifying a long-held assumption about turbulent flow: that turbulence is isotropic on small scales. go.aps.org/4eYxSrW

Glad to be part of this very important paper.

@QuinlanSievers Will anything change through this? I am not sure, no one is ready to pay more but throw sympathies on Twitter

If academia wants to compete for the best postdocs they are going to have to raise salaries and better support postdocs with kids, otherwise the academic path will continue to be available only to people with generational wealth or partners who make huge salaries.

@navdeepdahiya55 Is there any chance the situation will improve on 17 January? I have an early morning flight from Delhi at 4:10 AM on 17 January.

Tonight's #Fog expansion has started from #UttarPradesh, #Punjab towards #Delhi NCR and #Haryana - it will cover most of northern plains after mid night into early morning hours visibility can go as low as NIL. Another night and morning ahead with major road, rail and air travel disruptions in north India. Be cautious and updated if travelling. #Winters #Coldwave

A nice paper on the estimation of wall shear stress without explicitly accounting for the mean velocity profile. It has potential in atmospheric applications, where the estimation of surface stress is always a challenge and Sonic anemometer measurements are rarely accurate.

A new theoretical framework allows scientists to accurately estimate the friction a surface experiences in a turbulent flow, such as an airplane wing flying through the sky Letter: go.aps.org/3TLIB0y Synopsis: go.aps.org/3vh8oDD

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@chemnetworks Good to know!

@Subharthi10 If a PI was only interested in getting research done they would only use PD's. Early students have few research skills and spend 2 yrs learning yet they still get paid and get infrastructure to help them succeed. It's certainly symbiotic and both sides should be respected.

What is the value of a PhD to the student? Piggy backing on this bc the responses to @pauldauenhauer were overall disheartening. 1/n please share and add!!!

@sibinmohan @tfjmp Ok, good to know about your views. Its basically appears to me as a pointless argument as both sides will always counter each other. Obviously we cannot solve this online, and for that real measures need to be taken. Anyways, all the best with your research!

@tfjmp @Subharthi10 Yeah this! When we have some leeway, we try to pay them as well as we can. The problem is that the system has designated graduate students as “part time” employees, at least in the US.

People missing the point — I don’t think he’s complaining, just providing a breakdown of the costs. Could student stipends be higher? Yes! Some of us are trying but get hobbled by the existing cost structures and systems in place.

@DanielWhiteson Some have made this simple fact complicated through convoluted statements

It’s not complicated: we should give more people more money to do more science.

@chemnetworks Ok.

@Subharthi10 Also, as PI most ideas do come from me as I write the grant with ideas students are paid on. Ideas change, grow and adapt as student gains skills. Typically the last project of PhD is 80/20 student/me in the context of concept/implementation. That when they are ready to graduate

@chemnetworks Ok, good

@Subharthi10 A lot of PIs do do their own research. But it is completely true that I spend more of my time advising,training, teaching and writing. I acknowledge my students on slides of their work (pic and name) and my colleagues do the same.

@chemnetworks Anyone can live in denial but to some extent the truth is the PI is the one who ends up being more benefitted by going to conferences and places and trying to show the students works as their own, as if they generated the ideas. If that's the case, then do your own research.

@chemnetworks This is a nice thread, but at the same time the salary should be commensurate with experience. I think the research conducted by the students benefits the advisor in the same way as it does to a student. It is helpful for someone to get tenure and what not. Definitely no charity

@pauldauenhauer I do not understand what message is being conveyed here? Students are not supposed to be paid since it is a burden on the faculty or to generate sympathies against someone who works hard? If it's the first, then do not hire anyone and do your own research, no one has stopped you

@pauldauenhauer I do not understand what's with the whining. The person is doing this for securing tenure and what not. Definitely not a charity

@pauldauenhauer Again part of the job!
