Not yet though, there is a 125% tariff for goods from China.

Omg!!

Happy birthday!

update: sbu is also pausing NIH submissions

What!! Hmm, I am writing one and havent heard anything from SBU yet. It does make sense for schools to take this stand, but it is so hard for PIs especially given the R21 and R01 deadlines are rolling in now. What a nightmare we live in.

Really a wonderful set of slides, especially liked your example about your dissertation, which is very cool to begin with--but showing how you can pitching it in a way that is impressive but not memorable versus pitching it so no one will forget what you are doing. Very nice.

when I first saw this post, my first thought was, oh please not Neil Gaiman and then I read some stuff (not the entire article, I could not even stomach the parts I read). what depraved souls some people are.

If CSK moves to bluesky I will be all set.

Other interesting parts are 21-26 where he discusses how he applied to TIFR for his Ph.D. from his village in Saliamangalam, and in Part 2 9.30 - 15 about solving the Warings problems with a little help from my mom. I added time labels in the comment sections for both videos, so check them out.

My favorite section is 41.5 to 52 where he discusses how he wrote his first paper with his advisor Prof Ramachandra (and from 50-52 there is an interesting discussion about Ponniyin Selvan and Bourbaki).

I dont know you but I loved following you on twitter, I am glad to see you here.

I add it just before switching the stove off after everything is done. It is a game changer.
