Writing a grant is great for developing ideas, but does your proposal actually affect whether or not you get funded?

Turns out, your full proposal does not affect your ranking much! Whaat? 😯

The "Ashcroft/Mermin Project"
I will try to (likely very slowly) make one or more visualization per chapter of "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft and Mermin, with the hope that they will be useful to people teaching/learning solid state Physics.

Wait, you *never* need a discount code? It's #opensource and #openscience

Visit two.avogadro.cc and discuss.avogadro.cc to see what we've been doing for Avogadro v2.

Culture of mouse Embryonic Stem Cells, stained with SPY555-DNA from @spirochrome.com and recorded on an iSIM scope from @visitech.bsky.social. With ultra-sensitive Hamamatsu ORCA-Quest and recent Large Field-of-View upgrade, we can detect mitosis in 3D, for almost an hour, with 1-min resolution.

Hi #ChemSky! Please enjoy this video from my first year #chemistry lecture demonstrating the principle of triboluminescence by crushing crystals of the copper complex, [Cu(NCS)(py)2(PPh3)]! 😍 This also works with simple quartz crystals #RealTimeChem 🧪🥽

ABSTRACT. 🦋
I do #science, I design porous #materials called #MOFs using #topology, and sometimes I do #sciart to illustrate it. 💎
(And I see there is a 1 min video restriction here 😅)

I am also a #travel & #concert #photographer, when time allows! 📷

Let’s see how are things under the blue sky!
