When you start reading, life becomes bearable again. No matter what you are going through, you’ll be reminded that other humans have felt what you feel, and written about it. You will learn that you are part of a world far bigger and brighter than the darkness in your mind.
Today in Utrecht a grim milestone was marked; for the 2nd year in a row, a Dutch activist group laid out children’s shoes & read aloud the names & ages of the children who have been killed by the Israelis in Gaza. Today they read 19k names. It took almost 6 hours.
Our new study from Joanne Steiner’s PhD work and with C. Morize, P. Gondret, and I. Delbende has just been published in @PhysRevFluids ! We study vortex rings generated when a disk moves toward or away from a wall. doi.org/10.1103/ynxr-z… @FAST_Orsay @UMDResearch @umdme
What’s that noise? By analyzing audio recordings of cicadas at two sites near Bangalore, India, a @PhysRevE study finds that their collective song reaches its peak when light intensity is around 5 lumens and is delayed on cloudy days. Read the study here:…
A Tsunami Advisory has been issued, replacing the Tsunami Watch. The tsunami should arrive near 1AM tonight. If you are located in the coastal area, move off the beach & out of harbors & marinas. Do not go to the coast to watch. Be alert to instructions from local EM officials.
Unsolicited career advice: If you find an original thinker with a strong moral compass, do whatever it takes to work with them. Both of those things are incredibly rare standalone, even rarer when together. They are also are traits that cannot be acquired imho.
we have normalised overconsumption. listening to a podcast while we walk, scrolling reels in the toilet, listening to music while we cook, watching a show on Netflix while we eat. it’s as if there is NO breathing space for your mind. you’re constantly trying to fill the void, the…
I am horrified by how many academics are using AI to summarize research papers and books, not reading them otherwise. Intellectual integrity is meaningful, good-faith engagement with other people's ideas and the experience of learning their ideas on the terms set by the author
Can we have this button fucking everywhere
This week's MEAM seminar featured @AlbanSauret of the University of Maryland, who shared how cohesion in granular materials reshapes flow dynamics. From silo discharge to jet-driven erosion & column collapse, Sauret offers predictive tools for granular material control.
Our article on the junction of slender objects under tension has just been published @ESPCI_Paris! We discuss a cool phenomenon found in numerous systems, from kirigamis, kuttsukigami, and inflatables to more traditional tearing and peeling pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Looking forward to the @APSphysics Global Summit 🌴☀️
Looking forward to the @APSphysics Global Summit 🌴☀️
Here is the lineup for our group at the @APSphysics Global Summit next week in Anaheim, CA. We will be covering studies on fluids, grains, drops, and suspensions! More details below. #APSMarch #APSSummit25 @UCSBengineering @UMDResearch
new review article just dropped 😌

If you are at the @apsfluiddynamic meeting in SLC come join this morning to hear about a sticky problem: the clogging of suspensions! I will be giving an invited talk at 11:05 am in Hall 3, trying to share the work done by our group in this topic over the past few years
