New professional title just dropped! Bit sloppy. doesn’t even fit in the slot! What are they trying to say with this one? 🤔
It’s been a minute… and now in Armenian. Since no one in the building speaks 🇦🇲, I’m guessing ChatGPT (or something similar) is behind this…. Rough translation: Ardem Patapoutian (in the dialect used in Armenia), science doctor, great discoverer of Piezos: the one and only.

A really shocking estimate: Economic losses from the war in Lebanon may exceed $20bn, a sum that would be larger than its annual GDP. And "the percentage of people living in extreme poverty may double to at least 80% in heavily bombarded regions."

Reading up on @DAcemogluMIT: We were both born in 1967, a month apart, and immigrated to the West for school. His mom was the principal of an Armenian school in Istanbul. Same here (but in Beirut)! His likely last name in Armenian = Ajemian, my mom's maiden name. What’s going on?.
Wow! @DAcemogluMIT, born in Istanbul to Armenian parents, shares the @NobelPrize in Economics. Congratulations Daron! So happy for the nation of Armenia 🇦🇲 to have some good news to celebrate.

In case you’re counting, that’s two Armenian @NobelPrize winners in 3 years. And depending on how you count… @e__charpentier’s grandfather was Armenian and escaped to France during the Armenian Genocide.

RT @ItaiYanai: Half the work of preparing a science talk is deciding what you don’t say - to avoid distracting the audience.
