Listening to podcasts on Feynman. Celebrated for many amazing achievements and condemned for various behaviors.

My respect for him lies in that he went through a deep depression and came out of it through his love of science.

When things in academia get tough, remember why you love this job.

Yet again, my Broadway crazy kids have dragged me to NYC. Just a day trip from Lehigh University.

Ok, no dragging involved 😉

IDK, but using the tools developed by rheologists to inspire science isn’t a bad place to look and design your own kit.

Look under Education and select any of the bottom three links. “K-12 Outreach Demos” has clear tutorials.

Why do I use a remote computer while working on break?

This is why...even a bad local connection moves along nicely from afar!

Based on the article you posted and the UCLA website, the areas where renewables have replaced heating fuels are clearly not the areas with significant increases of heat-related emergencies. First two images are from the article and the second is from UCLA.

(I don't understand how they are related)

My first appointment of the day yesterday was with an astronaut on the ISS to change out our samples. So we put it on the big screen in the HST forum!

Past exam problem (mythical process that apparently has 100% yield).

What is the answer?

Lehigh’s stadium is only 2.3 miles, about 1 mile as the crow flies (or the drunk fan staggers), from the nearest Waffle House.

Dropping some recent posts from the other place. This one was simple:

Wow! (Our library was the recent update)

We watch paint dry! No really, but from the inside. We also make paint change its color.

We make “sand” roll uphill and look at collective behavior or microroller microrobots and responsive Janus particles.

What is exciting in our lab you ask? We are currently halfway through a month of doing experiments on the International Space Station!

We are studying thermophoresis in complex fluids with Xuanhong Cheng and Kelly Schultz (Purdue).
