TBH, it is so annoying to have a character limit for posts. I wanted to post something here but it was just too tedious to break long posts into threads or keep everything within 300 characters.

Many asked me: "Why take a leave to do startup before tenure?" "Why speak up and challenge senior voices?" "Have you got tenure yet?"

If someone wonder why a busy faculty is quite active on social media, let me tell you: checking emails, slack, and social media etc. is one of the few things you can do while babysitting. 😂

The evolution of academic posts on social media:
- Papers: First posted when accepted → then when arXiv-ed → now before arXiv submission.
- Jobs: First posted when starting a new job → then when accepting an offer → now when starting the job hunt.

For my ICLR submissions, it is either one paper with follow-up comments from multiple reviewers, or no comments from any reviewers, quite mixed feeling.

Dear #ICLR reviewers, you are encouraged to be open-minded, acknowledge misunderstandings when they arise, actively engage in discussions, and don’t hesitate to ask follow-up clarification questions.

Your thoughtful efforts are invaluable to both ACs and authors. Thank you!

TBH, I miss attending academic conferences as a student. So much more fun!

Funny how I feel more expressive on Sky Blue than on Twitter.

Sometimes, there is indeed a balance between fancy ideas and what really works. As researchers, we must avoid optimizing solely for paper acceptance or incremental performance gains—true progress lies in meaningful contributions that matter.

Running a startup is very similar to leading an academic lab at the early stage:
- Fundraising;
- Be visionary yet agile;
- Hire the right people.
