Cool day for @TMSSociety President Brad Boyce of @SandiaLab, who has an article with 10 others in @Nature on "Autonomous healing of fatigue cracks." For a few moments, it spectacularly topped today's @thedailybeast Cheat Sheet, which had a flamboyant take on the subject.

Interesting data shows how the public ranks professions by honesty and ethics. @TMSSociety members might ask, "Why are scientists and engineers not listed?" My job is 4th from bottom! Ouch. "Nurses Retain Top Ethics Rating in U.S., but Below 2020 High" news.gallup.com/poll/467804/nu…

Jurist Dean’s professor Danielle Cote will speak on “The Role of Early Career Professionals in Increasing Diversity in the STEM Professions” when she is honored in March by the @TMSSociety with an Early Career Faculty Award. bit.ly/3wEMJmf

Don't tell anyone at @TMSSociety . . . this is the kind of catnip that pulls me away from working on my presentation to the Board of Directors on Sunday. But I can't resist you, @StatistaCharts! "The Biggest Movie Franchises at the U.S. Box Office" statista.com/chart/10220/us…

Another great graph from @StatistaCharts. After two of @TMSSociety #TMSAnnualMeeting events being held around spikes, we are ready for the downswing that is sloping toward TMS2023 in March. "End of Covid-19 'in Sight'?" statista.com/chart/28264/we…

A great initiative from @TMSSociety: "More recently, LGBTQ+ rights have been at the forefront of our minds as society strives to be more inclusive of our diverse population. On the heels of these critical movements.... is a new player: neurodiversity" tms.org/portal/downloa…

Materials-related article from @PghBizTimes on @PittTweet professor and @TMSSociety Board of Directors Member Paul Ohodnicki, who discusses energy, electrification, and work force in Q&A style. BTW, Paul is a really nice guy, too!
