And then we wonder why people have such a skewed understanding of the world.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a brief, accessible summary of our recent work, “Simulating a Quasiparticle on a Quantum Device,” which was recently published in Physical Review A (preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2409.08545).
The work was done with Izabella Lovas and Prof. Leon Balents at @ucsb.bsky.social.

(1/n) Excited to announce FrugalScience 2025 (www.frugalscience.org). In its 5th year - Frugal science is a global community of creators engaged in bringing affordable solutions to the world. Anyone around the world can sign up (for free): form here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Presented at #APS2025 in the session on Morphogenesis

When your kids ask you what you did to save US science in the crisis of ‘25, you will say that you showed up! Please spread the word and join us!!

📣 Excited to receive the 💥 NSF CAREER 💥 Award. Our group is looking for PhD students and postdocs interested in the Nonlinear Dynamics and the Physics of Living Systems, with support from NSF, HFSP, and other sources. We’d appreciate your help in spreading the word! @ucsdphysci.bsky.social

This year, I was also doing a bunch of letter-writing for various materials science and/or engineering graduate programs. We need more fee waivers available to students, since fess are a burden that disproportionately affect students who don't come from generational wealth and/or the global north.

For the dev bio crowd : there is a call for junior group leader at Institut Pasteur in Paris and one of the axis covered is related to development. Come and join us in this exciting place and become one of our colleague @devstempasteur.bsky.social
Please RT !!

Applications open for a new cohort of @dev-journal.bsky.social *Pathway to Independence* fellows

Know a #devbio post-doc about to enter the academic job market?

Would they benefit from a little support & mentoring?

Spread the word
