@Blendenfleck Congratulations!

@AlexGuseman You gotta make lemonade when life lemons or something similar :D

When crowdstrike and delta are in cahoots and force you into an extra 3 days of vacation… thank god that April has family on Hilton head!

Data sonification, often used for outreach, education & accessibility, can also be a tool for scientific exploration & discovery! "Hydrogen bonding heterogeneity correlates w/ protein folding transition state passage time as revealed by data sonification" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@AlexGuseman Haha got mine in 2! :D

I know we are done sharing these like three years ago but.... after however many years of starting with the same word today was my start word day Wordle 1,038 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Chole chawal made by my wife. When she fries an egg, she adds sesame, cumin, curry leaves, red pepper flakes, & salt in a bit of oil to a small pan, & breaks the egg on it. Definitely a game changer of fried egg.

Reposting is appreciated. Open #postdoc positions in our group @biotech_joshi at @IITHyderabad. Do you like computer simulations of biosystems, this is your opportunity to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary team in the city of Pearl. @HiHyderabad @AcademicChatter

@thedavislab Davis lab showing up in force!

The Davis Lab is on the train to #BPS2024! Look for us at one of our 22 oral or poster presentations.

@jiwonyi2 @WUSTLmed Congratulations! 🎉

A decade ago, I was a college freshman who truly believed that medical training in the US was a completely inaccessible path for me. I never heard of a "physician scientist" until I started my PhD 5yrs ago. It feels almost surreal to get my white coat today. @WUSTLmed #MedTwitter

@prudhvir3ddy @debarghya_das Yeah needs to be normalized for number of students attending per college

Most Indians who come to the US today didn't study at IIT! Here are the top 20 universities for Indians emigrating to the US in 2022. ALL the IITs together are at #12 with BITS at #8 and NIT at #15. Over 70% of Indian-educated US immigrants are from South India!

When Adani’s coal left Indonesia its value was $ 1.9 mn. When it reached Mundra, Gujarat it’s value was $ 4.3 mn. Wish us mere mortals knew this secret magic of doubling your money in the middle of Indian Ocean too. 😔

@aandr314 A single approach is not the best for all your trainees. You might have to gauge a bit and adopt and let them also know your leading style. Some might like the mental math on the fly, some might feel intimidated.

i am regularly ask phd students to do some quick mental calculations, like "if we acquire 20 frames per second, how many frames we need for a 5 minute recording?" is it a dick move to quiz people like that?

I am an Indian studying in Israel currently. The official announcement says that Air India flights are cancelled till 14th of October as of now to and fro from Tel Aviv to anywhere in India. Now someone has replied to a query from the official Air India X handle that flights are

@manishtanks I have never had this but looking at the prices I miss it too

I miss Kluay Kluay prices and their food in Bryan, Texas 😩

@manishtanks To all of this I always say, tujhe nahi chahiye toh mat khaa naa. Jal kyu rahi hai. 😂

There is no difference between the macros of a croissant and a parantha 😂 let people be 🥵

@sagardkhare Also cause 7 8 9 😂

Which is it? 7 or 9? How many do I really need for success?

This should be illegal. Despicably deceptive. And such a prevalent and malicious practice that has one purpose: fool customers into consuming far more calories than they realize in order to sell more of a ridiculously unhealthy product.

@Daphale That’s good to hear!

@mayankb92 Well said ! The med board in India now gives equal recognition to all the authors mentioned

Came across a situation with a PI with two students who have currently contributed almost equally to a paper. The PI insists on having a first & second author. In this day and age, are equal contribution authors still taboo?! Why make science competitive instead of collaborative?

@diwakarshukla I’m confused as well. Will update it I get some more information.

@mayankb92 I can only say that it is a strange decision. It is likely we are missing some background information here.
