2025/02/11 午前7時45分から7時50分の間、日本の新千歳空港の国内線保安ゲートDを通過する際、保安検査官の伊藤大介が左手で私に靴を渡すふりをして、その隙に私を後ろから抱き締め、右手で私の右乳首をつねりました。 私はモニターをつけて警察に電話するように頼みました。 @Chitose_Info

@LilianHsiao @ncstatecbe @SoRheology Congrats Lilian! Very well deserved!

Hugely grateful and honored to have our group’s work be recognized by the rheology community! Couldn’t have done it without my students, collaborators, and support provided by @ncstatecbe. Come party with us at the @SoRheology meeting in the fall! #everythingflows #pantarhei

Sad News. We lost a great a colleague, collaborator and friend today. We will miss him. RIP Pacelli Zitha and thanks for everything 🙏

@tankman2002 你拿這一個女生代表所有台灣人不也犯一樣以偏概全的錯誤？

这是昨天王志安对一位台湾女生的采访。我配上了字幕。且必须照录如下：“中共跟中国是密不可分的，这是所有中国人的共业。中国人就等于中共，没有办法分开的。”王志安：“但其实中国大陆也有很多中国人也不一定喜欢中共的统治”“我不care……” 我终于知道所谓“支黑”的产生和来源。我会永远记住这个台湾姑娘的话。

@ryseto No, this policy wouldn't help. Only higher salary with lower work hours helps.

@roisinbd Congrats! 😃

Check out my first (first author) publication to see a novel application of neutrons to study mAbs! ⚛️

I THINK I GOT IT! I've been trying to understand this for years, but the missing magic words that made it finally click were "inner product." Thank you @math_vet! I'll try to explain my understanding in a short thread in case it helps anyone. 🧵 (1/8)

Stupidity is important in scientific research. This is a very important message. Myself, I often say to students “You should know enough to start your research but never enough to know the outcome. Learn as you go.” ▫️ Prof. Martin Schwartz (Yale Univ.) discusses this in his paper. The key messages are: 1️⃣ Science makes me feel stupid... I’ve gotten used to it. So used to it, in fact, that I actively seek out new opportunities to feel stupid. I wouldn’t know what to do without that feeling. 2️⃣ High-school and college science means taking courses, and doing well in courses means getting the right answers on TESTS. If you know those answers, you do well and get to feel smart. 3️⃣ A #PhD, in which you have to do a research project, is a whole different thing… - How could I possibly frame the questions that would lead to significant discoveries? How to design and interpret an experiment so that the conclusions were absolutely convincing? 4️⃣ I remember the day when Henry Taube (who won the Nobel Prize two years later) told me he didn’t know how to solve the problem I was having in his area. I was a third-year graduate student and I figured that Taube knew about 1000 times MORE than I did. If HE didn’t have the answer, nobody did. 5️⃣ That’s when it hit me: NOBODY did. That’s why it was a research problem. And being my research problem, it was up to me to solve. 6️⃣ I don’t think students are made [by our education] to understand how hard it is to do research. And how very HARD it is to do important research. It’s a lot harder than taking even very demanding courses. 7️⃣ What makes research difficult is that it is immersion in the unknown. We can’t be sure whether we’re asking the right question or doing the right experiment until we get the answer or the result. 8️⃣ The point of the PhD thesis exam is NOT to see if the student gets all the answers right. The faculty committee pushes until the student starts getting the answers wrong or gives up and says, ‘I don’t know’. 9️⃣ Science allows us to bumble along, getting it wrong time after time, and feel perfectly fine as long as we learn something each time. No doubt, this can be difficult for students who are accustomed to getting the answers right. ▫️ Why "stupidity?" We don’t do a good enough job of teaching our students how to be productively stupid. If we don’t feel stupid it means we’re not really trying. Science involves confronting our ‘absolute stupidity’. The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries. ▫️ From my side: This article nicely reflects on how DIFFERENT the coursework is from research. ❗ PhD is NOT about courses. NOT about grades. It’s about a completely different type of education. ▫️ #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Excited to announce our newest research on Tea Scum is now published! Prefer green tea instead of black? Then this work is for you! doi.org/10.1039/D3SM00…

@JiachunShi I wonder if people overdo probability analysis for expected value of coins in Camel Up when playing with a group of scientists (because that's what I will probably do lol)

Diversity and inclusion in our lab 😉❤️

That's exactly me. I spent 2 yrs working on Fortran because that was the only language my PI knows during my master. Later, I realized Matlab and Python are way useful during my PhD.

I'm thrilled to share the final contribution of my PhD work. Our work reveals the time resolved dynamics of shear thickening, where a two-step relaxation mechanism and the persistence of hydroclusters during transient flow are discovered. #ShearThickening doi.org/10.1063/5.0153…
