"There is a well-established and active science of complexity; there is no science of simplicity. How do we rationalize the process of creating a simple system, how does one quantify simplicity, and how does one plan a study of simplicity?" George Whitesides

With the war in the gulf getting crazy, @WilliamsRuto don’t send my brothers to a war that has nothing to do with the continent the way you sent cops to Haiti.

Thanks for the shoutout

This is BS!! Can the @LFC get rid of Slot?? Wasted a lot of Klopp $$ and built crap!! #fireSlot!

Science in the Savanah 2.0 happening April 13-16, 2026 in Nairobi Kenya. Please purpose to join us. See us-africa-conference.com

How complex are seeds and other granular matter? a ton! We use graph theory to better understand granular flow & eliminate toxic products from farms! Enjoy Graph theory-based bio-derived solid lubricant: Matter cell.com/matter/fulltex…

It’s lovely to hear from former students and current students. Best feedback ever!! @smmtgroup you rock!!

@Striga_Steve Can’t agree more, there is something special in, and about, Kenya!

The Trinity of Steven: Family | Science | Country. Most days it is about Science. Today it is Country. Kenya took down DRC and Morocco in the ongoing African Nations Championship. Believe us when we tell you who we are!

@smmtgroup got together to celebrate how far we have come and reconnect former students with current group members. So proud of this team!

Patent #32 granted!! Congratulations @smmtgroup for great work! Keep being creative!

@Striga_Steve @ISMPMI congrats!!

Thank you colleagues. I am greatly honoured to serve in the @ISMPMI board!

@zhigangsuo @zhigangsuo this is one of the most difficult lessons to teach- the decision making this decision when every new data point is more exciting

Often the aim of writing a paper is to formulate a hypothesis and test it. In writing the paper, we are open minded about our hypothesis. But once a hypothesis has been formulated and tested, one should finish writhing the paper. Leave any new hypothesis to another paper.

@Uber And be lies while still running a ghost ride

This was a ride to the airport. And this driver is highly rated? Time to quit @Uber Second time I’m hearing of this scam in Raleigh.

@Uber reserved ride nightmare. Drive doesn’t show but charges for driving around town. Lies about where they are but keeps uber app running.
