In the fall of 2023, #LLNL's Sijia Huang and Michael Ford joined @ENERGY's Energy I-Corps Program, an entrepreneurial boot camp that teaches scientists and engineers the tools of the trade for commercializing technology from the Lab to the marketplace: livermorelab.info/4bWWDmB
Some fun work finally got published!
Are shapeshifting “soft machines” in our future? #LLNL scientists and collaborators from @Harvard, @NCState and @Penn, built a variety of light-responsive objects, including cylinders that could roll, asymmetric “crawlers” that could go forward and more: livermorelab.info/3UEl1n4
Something interesting @ElsevierConnect is doing: an exclusive "Share Link" that allows free access to a newly published article for 50 days. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ggT-…
Similar detectors have already been built, but plastic scintillators make it easier for the detectors to be mobile. That means that the detector can be incorporated into a vehicle that can drive right up to an antineutrino source (e.g., a nuclear reactor).
One coauthor: "add a table; it makes it easier to read."
Another coauthor: "why do you have a table for information that is already communicated in a graph?"
Did some x-ray scattering experiments for the first time since 2018 and am now analyzing data. Never thought I'd feel nostalgia while using Igor.
Among other cool things that I get to do @Livermore_Lab, I test plastic scintillators - these ones were made by the @Sellinger_Group!

Inks for transparent elastomers are formulated by matching the refractive index of silica and polysiloxanes.
The ink transmits around 90% of 700 nm light through a centimeter and stays transparent after solidification @MFordPhD @Livermore_Lab

As someone who has only been on the applicant side of the application process, this advice seems very good, and I appreciate how practical it is.
I also wonder what other people would look for, as I imagine others have their own arbitrary (or even whimsical) criteria.
This quoted post is unavailable.
Some good advice for managing teams. (I'm also grateful that my current supervisors @Livermore_Lab practice many of the tips offered in this list.)
Sharing info about this event again as the deadline is coming up. Sign up if you're looking for a job (or if you're hiring!)
