As always, a truly inspiring talk by @mechanochemist at #SCIRES2023 I think we were all left convinced that mechanochemistry IS just chemistry; we just have to change the culture to reflect this š @Mechanochem @SCIRES9

@ivana_brekalo @mechanochemist @Mechanochem @SCIRES9 True words - @Mechanochem is not magic, it's chemistry but done differently!

My coworkers are cooler than yours! After hearing me ramble for a year about the mechanochemistry my group will be doing, @sasha_sundstrom made me stickers to recruit with as a parting gift! If you too are a mechanoenthusiast, drop her a follow and stay tuned for exciting news!

I never wanted to have a role model and I certainly didn't want to be one. Adam Grant @AdamMGrant has an explanation and a Tim Urban @waitbutwhy picture to go with it. Tempted to pick them both as role models š.
Picking someone as your role model in life sets unrealistic expectations. Eventually, you'll learn they don't belong on a pedestal. It's better to admire people for specific strengths. It reminds you they have weaknesses too. Knowing they have vices puts their virtues in reach.

Future grad students, please take into account location when you chose your school. I cannot stress this enough. Doing what you love is important, but living where you feel happy, comfortable, and somewhat at home is just as important.

Iām not surprised by this soft statement. What change do you make here? When they click publish is there a āare you sureā pop up smh. First it was āit needs tweakingā now it didnāt belong. Smh tragic that a journal with such power and prestige is acting so little.

The allergy season kicked in - I can hardly open my eyes this morning. Upon receiving a reminder to review a paper, I realized that I am now perfectly positioned to perform a thorough "blind review". š

The comparison game can be intense in academia, but it is built on the lie that there can only be one winner at the end of the game. Define what winning means for you and recognize that someone else achieving their win likely does not prevent you from achieving yours.
