Dear Physicists and Physics fans,
I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.
Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬

Exciting development! Can't wait to try it!
@odedrechavi.bsky.social, can the tool be adapted for thesis and dissertations? Advisors everywhere will thank you for it.

The eligibility criteria change will impact many first generation and minority students that first learn about the GRFP when starting grad school. Already quite busy in those first weeks of classes, they will not have time to identify a research project, a mentor and prepare an application. #NSFGRFP
Please share with anyone who cares about NSF support for graduate students and take 30 seconds to sign and leave a comment.
The deadline for the 2025 Graduate Research Fellowship Program is about one month away and literally no one can apply. #NSFGRFP

This is the funniest science writeup I've seen in a long time. It's about why cats are so perfectly evolved 🧪
Apparently lots of other animals have "tried to be cats" and the fact that other species have so much more variation is "because they suck" 😆

Hi #AcademicBluesky
I'm prepping a new writing intensive undergrad course & am looking for resources and fun activities to build writing skills.
Any recommendations of what has worked for you? Bonus points for content related to AI, crafting clear arguments, and outlining papers.
Thanks!

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:
-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare
(But get your mom flowers, too)

I've been on both sides of this. As an author, it sucks to be waiting. As a reviewer, I try to find time to thoroughly read the paper and give a helpful feedback to the authors. Time and effort that is not recognized.
Can't remember the last time I took a break under a tree or a picnic by a lake. 😔
