Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs.

And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM.

A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates.

It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the…

I feel seen and I’m not sure I like it

Reimbursement culture is used to ensure that you don't have too many of 'the poors' getting access to graduate school or becoming professors. Reimbursement culture also banks on people giving up on the process and supplementing the bottom line of the institution.

It was a pleasure to serve as a panelist and mentor and just generally get to hang out with this awesome crew for a couple days!

If you find yourself tempted by the siren song of a simplistic projection of the conflict onto an oppressor-oppressed narrative, or conflation of a government with the civilians it governs, or dismissal of violent atrocities as justified, please read:

Very sick of the kneejerk need on much of the American left to oversimplify this centuries-old conflict. It is possible to believe that Bibi/the IDF have done awful shit AND that Israel has a right to exist.

Maybe I shouldn’t wade into this, but it’s unhinged that a QUARTER of Idaho thinks they’re the Midwest and <10% of PA does. Obviously Philly isn’t, but Pgh toootally is…

Hey Duolingo, is there something you need to tell us?

Really excited to get this work out there!

This thread summarizes my own feelings over the last several days pretty well…horror at the situation, worry for my family, deep anger at Bibi’s government that has only been moving the region further from peace in recent years.

The ability to perform controllable, reliable simulations based on the fundamental equations of Physics/Chemistry/etc is the key to the success of Machine Learning in Science.

To make valuable, nontrivial predictions, we need to be able to put error bars to the output of a…

Really pleased to announce our first official product!

You can now convert any PyBaMM model to Matlab/Simulink, bridging the gap between cell design and BMS teams.

Go to ion-works.com/products (or message me) for a free sample, or get in touch to convert your custom model.

Friends and foes,

I am glad to report that my JuliaCon 2024 talk “The Slack Thread That Would Not Die” is uploaded and on YouTube

Thanks to all the The Julia Language community, y’all rock

Last week, my student J. Drew and I drove out to Ohio to visit our collaborators in the Yan group at The University of Toledo and take a tour of our funders' First Solar manufacturing site in nearby Perrysburg! Also pictured: Dasgupta Research Group, who happened to be visiting the same day!
