Adriano Aguzzi @AdrianoAguzzi A student told me that he visited a lab to explore a possible postdoc position. He spoke to a dozen people, and no student/postdoc explained him what they were doing or show any data. What a sad, wrong and self-defeating way of doing science. Replying to @AdrianoAguzzi If you hate disease and

Zolden @ZoldenGames I keep playing with my molecular simulation, inventing new ways to combine atoms. At least it feels like inventing. Found a way to build a spiral. Gray is like carbon, black – hydrogen, they build skeleton. Each colored one only attracts same color and gray. https://pic.x.com/2sipalqxhc Replying to @ZoldenGames Stop “playing”, calculate properties of

Anton Petrov: Evidence of a Donut Like Structure Hidden Inside Planet Earth at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GljciCwOfyc Gravitational imaging arrays using low cost but very sensitive gravitational sensors can use time of flight correlation to image regions anywhere inside the earth at high resolution. There are many desktop, even portable alternatives. Atomic clocks, gravity gradiometers, many kinds of

Amateur Chemistry: Turning Dirt into Silicon at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo3O82dmPxA I really liked this because of the cleaning steps. I would not have done it those ways, but happy to watch your methods and hear your comments. I would likely have looked online to buy clean sand already powdered, and avoid time, acid, water and mess. The

Gauthier Östervall The mechanisms by which energy moves in solids, liquids, gas, mixtures solutions, structures all depend on the details of what you are doing. I am reviewing “shock vaporization” and “shock melting” this morning. It mainly affects meteor impact melting and vaporization but also hypervelocity flight, reentry, weapons development, explosive compression and forming, magnetic

Even with perfect knowledge of all things, and global optimized systems possible, would anyone change? No. If it fails, and is needed, it can be recreated in the future. Nothing on earth cannot be restored, if sufficient time, ability, determination and effort is applied. If China overproduces and they can survive, they likely will continue

USGS.gov can serve the whole world in all languages, part of a global knowledge network. I want to know how long and deep a fault area needs to be to generate a magnitude 9 earthquake. I know that the moment and power depend on the area, roughness, pressure, temperature, materials, and faults, depth and
