Did we see this coming? #AcademicTwitter
New data released by the U.S. National Science Foundation underscore concerns that the academic community is facing a postdoc shortage and that early-career scientists are increasingly favoring higher paid positions outside academia. @ScienceCareers

After the 1991 declaration, all other alphabets have been in use as the first letter of prefixes except R and Q. Both of them have also been taken for now. What comes up next? Certainly would be intriguing to know. 6/7

…use ’Yottabytes’ now and then. Given the exponential growth of data science and its penetration into physical sciences, more prefixes would soon be required. But there is a small catch. 5/7

In 1991, the conference had incorporated Zetta, Yotta (10^21, 10^24 ) and Zepto, Yocto (10^-21, 10^-24)—a pair of prefixes primarily meant for chemists. Three decades later, modern science felt the need for prefixes for even bigger and smaller numbers as data scientists… 4/7

Ronna (10^27) and Quetta (10^30). Ronto (10^-27) and Quecto (10^-30). Big number prefixes end with ‘a’ and small number prefixes end with ‘o’. 3/7

50 years down the lane, when I would be 75 and cuddling with my grandkids, they deserve to know stories how their grandpa started out and how he finished the race. The journey would be strugglesome but exciting at the same time. Period. 8/8

6. Will never compare myself with the peers Everyone is running their own race. Some people were born with certain privileges, some had to earn them. I have struggled a lot, have come a long way, and don’t plan to stagnate myself anytime soon. Slow but consistent. 7/8

5. Won’t try to foresee the unforeseeable #Future thoughts are always daunting and frightening. I’ll rather enjoy the present and chalk out a blueprint for future inside my head. Spoiling the present with predictions of uncertain future is a fool’s bargain. 6/8
