Stressful day at the office, so I'm treating myself to an oat milk tumeric and black pepper latte made with scientifically enhanced #coffee beans (which i wrote about here: cen.acs.org/business/con...). Because some days I own my #millennial identity #science

One of the programs is called MAGNITO. It sounds awesome, looking into 4- and 5-dimensional data spaces to look for new, super-powerful magnetic materials. And I totally resisted posting it as "Trump funds M̶a̶g̶n̶e̶t̶o̶MAGNITO" with this art for literally hours till right now.
