Yes, I believe the shirts will be available at the DMP front desk.

APS global summit attendees, check out the inaugural T-shirt of division of material physics. The back side contains graphics I designed. It's a collage of stylized images depicting systems or phenomena relevant to material science research. I hope you all have a great week.

This is how it looks on my night lamp!

This is by far my most colorful crochet project. Instead of yarn, I used leftover embroidery thread. Joining new thread every so often was a bit inconvenient, but the colors made it all worth it! I mean look at all the layers😁🌈.

What's the dynamics? Is there a paper on this?

It's -10°C (with wind chill) in Boston today. So I wore my homemade balaclava. In India we used to call these 'monkey caps' 🙈🙉🙊. As a child, I used to hate wearing them to school. And now I made myself one and I proudly wear it. Age makes people utilitarian I guess.

pedantle - Uncover the Wikipedia page! Uncover the Wikipedia page by guessing the hidden words.

I have been hooked to this word game for a while now. The challenge is to guess the title of a Wikipedia page from some completely redacted paragraphs. Today's puzzle was right up my alley. I found #pedantle #960 in 15 guesses!

It's like a painting!

At any given time I have at least two notebooks, one for my active projects and one for other things unrelated to my thesis work. I tend to keep very extensive notes, and I don't throw away my calculations. So since the start of my PhD, I have accumulated around 15 notebooks till now. 😬

A dividing budding yeast cell in steel, bronze, and silver, with apatite gemstones for the chromosomes. The sculpture rests in my hand, a physical cutaway view with many cellular structures visible.

Closeup of the sculpture, centered on the spindle pole body, a tiny structure looking like a stack of pancakes from the side, embedded in the long curved nuclear membrane, tethering the spindle (a splayed bundle of silver branches each terminating in a jewel chromosome). The spindle structure is polished silver, lodged in the polished bronze of the membranes and surrounded by bronze endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and other structures.

A favorite commission this year, a dividing cell with an extra detail. Colleagues of a retiring researcher commissioned me to add the specific structure she worked on—the spindle pole body—to the sculpture. Here it is close up, in sterling silver embedded in the bronze nuclear membrane. 🔬#SciArt

This is amazing!

Better green than screen!

Back to my desk at Brandeis. I missed this space. Over the years I have customized it to fit my work style. I added potted plants, enough notebooks, a personal whiteboard, tablecloth to prevent static, silverware, doodling pens, and a lot of free space. It's my zen.

New Publication 🚨 : Layne Frechette shows how active matter, which consumes energy to create persistent and directed motion, can be harnessed to create dynamic assemblies with tunable sizes, shapes, and motion. Check it out : arxiv.org/abs/2410.05555 #ActiveMatter #SelfAssembly #BrandeisMRSEC

Tree of Life by Leonard Eisenberg! You can clearly see the evolutionary timeline. Humans are in the farthest corner. Gives a sense of how small we are in the bigger picture.
I was introduced to this diagram at a talk today by Mazi Jalaal.

By the Santa Ynez River in the Los Padres national forest. Photo, materials, location and many useful suggestions by physicist and artist Kay Weise. This is my first completely acrylic plein air painting. Thanks to Kay for this beautiful experience.
