I wonder how our world would be if we all worked on self regulating. If we worked on self love. If we worked on healing our wounds.
I am certain we would carry ourselves differently. We would engage in conflicts with an open mind and heart.

A bit late.. but I am proud to announce another #BirkelGroup Graduate, Dr. Suneet Kale. Suneet defended his thesis at ASU on new #MAXPhase solid solutions a few weeks ago. He also investigated the influence of the M & A element on their oxidation behavior.
Congratulations, Suneet!

Easier said than done, right?
I invite you to reflect on your habits and choices. Which ones are good for your health, which ones are bad?
What behaviors do you model for your students.. your kids?
It's time to be honest with ourselves.

I'm thrilled and honored to announce my inaugural first-author paper has been accepted for publication in The Journal of Chemical Physics. This marks a significant milestone and I'm eager to share more about it with you all soon. Stay tuned for a deeper dive once published! #ChemSky #MatSky #Physics

Rest, recharge, recover.
For me it means fresh air, sunshine, moving my body.
Also on the list is journaling, reading a book, coloring, practicing a language.
What's your ideal menu to energize?

How do you make #StemCells turn into what we want 🫀?

One way is with electricity⚡- but how you use the electricity really matters

In a new perspective with @drtinytaps.bsky.social in #AdvancedMaterials, we tackle these complexities:

Hello September!
Do you want to make changes?
Don't wait til the new year.
No huge changes that we don't follow through with. Little manageable steps.
Pick one day of the week.
Go for the walk. Make the call. Dont scroll before bed. Read.

And now read it again.
This is a hard pill to swallow but you cannot and will not change other people. The more important question is - how much access to my time and energy do I grant these people?
You have to think about your boundaries.
