November 15, 2022 is the day when the world population is projected to reach 8 billion! un.org/en/dayof8billi…

Are we experiencing twitter apocalypse now?

Meet Elena Giorgi (GSAS’19), the Columbia math professor who proved that black holes are stable. She shares the importance of her findings and how a physics discovery during her first year as a Columbia student charted her professional “destiny.” bit.ly/3Glxuoq

How many of them are on visa and how many actually want to work there without any reservations ?

What exactly is reality? That’s a question physicists & filmmakers alike want to answer. In a Columbia Quantum Initiative Q&A, Columbia Physics Department PhD student @BigANicco shares how he & experimental filmmaker Ramey Newell worked to capture quantum mechanics on film. bit.ly/3gc49lO

A little girl wrote to the Los Angeles Department of Animal Control asking if she could have a pet unicorn. Their response is everything. ❤️

Part 2: After the state settled its lawsuit with 3M in 2018, the AG made public thousands of internal 3M documents. We read them all. They show 3M ignored, delayed, minimized and obscured research that raised red flags about the chemicals for decades: minnesotareformer.com/2022/12/15/tox…

Now published in Research Policy: I looked at 27k postdoc salaries across the US, their relationship to cost of living, tenure-track job prospects, and how things have been changing over time. Here's what I found: doi.org/10.1016/j.resp…

Keanumycins -- yes, it is named after Keanu Reeves! nature.com/articles/d4158…

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year… And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0 And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

So yes. in 2023 NIH has convened a working group to come up with the startling recognition that we should have fewer, but better compensated postdocs. Sorry, no they think better compensation "may ultimately lead to fewer postdocs". b/c of course they can't just do the math.

Delightful 😠 I've had enough of big-name scientists leveraging their fame to exploit others. Is science well served by one dude taking 30 postdoc salaries from the funding ecosystem & producing a few high-tier papers/year? Leaving human wreckage in his wake?

Hunger and famine are not accidents — they are created by the actions of people go.nature.com/3pyuNKh

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Our Cell paper appeared today: "Time resolution in cryo-EM using a PDMS-based microfluidic chip assembly and its application to the study of HflX-mediated ribosome recycling"

We are standing on the cusp of a new era of biology, where the integration of multimodal structural datasets with multiscale physics-based simulation will enable the development of visible, virtual cells. My dream for #COVIDisAirborne Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. & the molecular basis of life

Update: was informed of a $1.25 billion offer for four years, new highest I've seen guys what the hell is going on

Dog moves security camera so he can secretly eat food on the table but the cat had different plans.. 😅

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with Yale University and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells.  With more preclinical and clinical tests,
