Thrilled to see this in print! In this paper we show that not all disorder is created equal. The method by which you synthesize a high entropy oxide matters a great deal in determining it's functional properties. Congrats Mario Ulises González Rivas, the Iron Chef of HEO synthesis!

We decided to record an episode on quantum materials 3 years ago but it felt so daunting that we never finished it and we ultimately had to call in a ringer, Jason Khoury of Arizona State University to help break it down and we're releasing the episode on his birthday 🎉 🎂!! This episode is an

I was really excited to do this one! It was fun to talk to Taylor and Andrew about quantum materials. It’s an intro to a whole series they’re working on. If you like the field, please check it out!

Head Start also provides services like helping children get health and nutrition assessments. I learned about it firsthand because my mom was an aide when I was a kid; it's invaluable to so many families, and I truly hope it can be saved.

Americans want a free, easy way to file their taxes. Trump and Musk want to take it away. Why? Because Direct File stops giant tax prep companies from ripping off taxpayers. And the Trump agenda is all about making our government work for big corporations, not working people.
