Clearly, my recent paper might find itself in hot water with the ‘bias patrol.’ I suppose ‘systematic error’ just doesn’t have the same ring to it! #Optics #Photonics ⚛️ 🧪

Pleased to share our study on how substrate annealing affects CsPbBr₃ perovskite photoluminescence on TiO₂. We show how annealing temp tunes surface roughness, crystallinity & charge recombination. Grateful to lead author Xavier Vorhies and co-authors! #PerovSky #MatSky #ChemSky 🧪

I’m reading Project Hail Mary, and so far it’s a great read for the spectroscopy content alone! #chemsky

My dissertation is now freely available: scholarworks.montana.edu/items/5f1522d5… It examines nanocrystal ligand effects on transport, lamellar structure influence on charge separation, and impact of noise in measures of excited state diffusion in semiconducting materials. 🧪 #chemsky #perovsky

Sweeping restrictions at NIH have halted grant reviews, workshops, and hiring. Travel and communication bans block scientists from presenting work, recruiting for clinical trials, and publishing. Fear and uncertainty now threaten U.S. biomedical research progress. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Gasoline (petrol) near me: $2.80/gal (€0.67/L). Eggs: $6.59/dozen (€6.05). Noting these prices today as the newly inaugurated president promised to lower costs.

Starting a new lab?! The most important factors for choosing the university/institute/company are: the colleagues, students & postdocs, the leadership, equipment, the lab space and start-up funds; IN THAT ORDER.

We watched Nightbitch last night, and I loved it. A modern “Heroine’s Journey” that is raw, unsettling, and empowering. Not horror as billed, but a visceral, strange, and cathartic exploration of motherhood and identity. Highly recommend!

This excellent video by @acollierastro.bsky.social is a sharp, funny critique that explores the weird obsession billionaires like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos have with #physics, and why they all want us to think they’re secret geniuses. youtu.be/GmJI6qIqURA

Is the Winter Solstice ‘a child’s game’? The Catholic League thinks so. Read my open letter challenging their divisive message and exploring the humanist values that truly define the season. #WinterSolstice #Humanism @friendlyatheist.com @americanhumanist.bsky.social thiebes.org/2024/12/21/c...

Why is so much of the scholarly literature inaccessible to blind and low-vision scientists (and other readers)? My latest for Nature: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @natureportfolio.bsky.social

My second 🔓editorial for @naturenano.bsky.social is out. This time, I talk about something I care a lot: Why do battery researchers not use a shared basic electrochemistry terminology? www.nature.com/articles/s41... What's your experience? 🙂 #batteries #battchat #electrochemistry
