As I find myself having conversations about how to apply for faculty positions in Chemical Engineering, I wanted to share my thoughts from a few years ago on how to write a good faculty application research statement!
As deadlines approach for ChemE faculty apps, I've been giving a lot of feedback/delivering workshops on research statements. Some tips for how to write a great research statement🧵 (1/10)

This is literally my son’s life. I keep seeing posts about mom math vs. dad math and I’m like what if both are just Jacobians?

such a great quote for a textbook dealing with uncertainty quantification. "Predictive Models Informed by Simulation, Measurement, and Surrogates" by Ryan G. McClarren

I had a blast this past week talking about the future of AI+Science at the NSF Workshop on AI for Science with @ShuwenYue , Rebecca Lindsey and others!

Unapologetically black in 2025! Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro! Happy Black History Month! @kendricklamar

Funding from the @NIH contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 (99.4%) of the new drugs approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019, and 🚨 100% 🚨 of FDA approved drugs btw 2010-2016. @NIH funding is the backbone of American biomedical innovation. #protecttheNIH

Finally, someone is reporting on how funding of new NIH grants is effectively frozen due to an administrative block 👇 Grants already submitted cannot be reviewed, and grants already reviewed with excellent scores cannot be funded. This is the opposite of "efficiency".

As we speak, scientisists across the country (including myself) are trying to to take care of simple administrative tasks related to the grants that we have recieved from the National Institutes of Health... 1/n

NIH fosters breakthroughs that profoundly affect how diseases are understood, prevented, and treated. These discoveries enhance health and longevity in the US and the world. NIH is a cornerstone of innovation so it is bizarre that it is under attack

Why is the NIH an incredible engine for scientific progress and U.S. biomedical leadership? $1 NIH spends--> $2.5 economic activity. Check out this fact sheet for more info: actfornih.org/wp-content/upl… 🧵 1/4
