"Was forced to rescind" might be more accurate, but this is a major success for protecting international students' rights, and a positive show of solidarity from University administrations (at least in this regard). 1/n
BREAKING: The Trump administration has rescinded a rule that would have forced international students to leave the country if their colleges hold classes online this fall. The administration was sued over the new policy by Harvard and MIT. apne.ws/p0KqbpI
I probably chuckled too much at how well these "types" of papers cover a lot of the electrochemistry literature... 😂
This is a great thing to learn and helps to create a more inclusive environment on our teams! Fantastic job, Team 6025. #morethanrobots
As 6025, we started to learn the sign language in the most practical way by watching the 1st, 2nd and 3rd videos of the association’s "Basic Sign Language Education" lessons. Thank you to @evokuludernegi for their support to our team this season🖤💙
Beyond bats, coronaviruses infect camels, birds, cats, horses, mink, pigs, rabbits, pangolins, and other animals from which they could jump into human populations with little to no immunity. That's why scientists are working on a pancoronavirus #vaccine. fcld.ly/3jwkesw

A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! Drawing icebergs is now even better!
I upgraded the Iceberger remixed iceberg simulator to version 2.0 to improve representation of melting and allow for multiple icebergs engaging-data.com/iceberger-remi…
This recent article gives a nice overview of the plastics problem and different #greenchemistry strategies for dealing with plastic waste including chemical recycling, mechanical recycling and bacterial decomposition. Article: fal.cn/3dWJ7
Thanks @tweetsoutloud for a solid thread on why space advancement doesn't take away from earth/society, but actually makes huge strides to support it! A perfect example of the importance of exploration driven by curiosity. Useful linked resources here as well!
It’s always frustrating to see folks upset that we’re spending money on space when we could be spending it at home, but if you don’t mind, here are just a few personal reasons why I think this is a false dichotomy:
"I don’t expect to get every grant I apply for, but the least agencies could do is give me a little feedback." #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter nature.com/articles/d4158…
Graphene could do so many things, but it's expensive. And plastic recycling's impractically hard. But what if we could make graphene from used plastic cheaper than recycling? Guess what... massivesci.com/articles/plast…
Virtually every aspect of the COVID vaccine, from the lipid nanoparticles to the mRNA technology, was developed in academic labs using public funds. But in the public's mind the credit goes to companies like Moderna/Pfizer. This is a missed opportunity to celebrate basic research
Moreover, this addresses the recommended actions for @JoeBiden 's administration's working groups, as a result of improved future damage estimations resulting from fossil fuel use now. Reformulate SCC to policy relevance by considering global impacts, equity, goals etc. @POTUS
Researchers can now link many more extreme weather events directly to climate change. go.nature.com/2McmAYw
Tardigrades: "Lethal doses of UV? Feels like a cloudy day at the beach." Every time I hear about this little water bear and its relatives, I become further impressed. Thanks @ram_ssrc for your @massivesci article on new Tardigrades research! #waterbear #tardigrade
no one: scientists: um, we found a new type of indestructible tardigrade hiding in some moss on a wall ed.gr/c0ef9
I relate so much to this struggle. I find it incredibly difficult to decide, without guilt or the haunting "should be doing" thoughts, to take a break. But when I do... it is immensely more refreshing. 😂 Worth working towards this mentality! Thanks @ThrivePhD !

Neat experimental setup using curved platinum to get a variety of surface types to explore (e.g. different Pt coordination), with curious results positing that atom coordination doesn't direct reactivity as cleanly as we'd thought. phys.org/news/2020-09-l…
“Almost anything you put in DMSO will trigger its decomposition,” says process chemist Qiang Yang. New research identifies breakdown products of #DMSO that can trigger a runaway reaction and pose an explosion hazard. ow.ly/Z5eY50BAws2
ABUNDANCE MINDSET [a thread] We talk about abundance mindset a lot bc we believe it's the best headspace from which to run a biz. Abundance mindset says: There is enough work (time, money, love) out there for me. And for you. And for that other person, too.
UPDATE: Last month's global average concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) was about 414 parts per million (ppm). ⬆️ about 24 ppm from August 2010 ⬆️ about 45 ppm from August 2000 ⬆️ about 60 ppm from August 1990 climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/ca…
Universities need to genuinely support mentorship training for faculty members, our #ExperimentalError humor columnist argues in @ScienceCareers fcld.ly/j766akj
The “massive” increase in methane emissions occurred at the same time as the use of fracking for shale gas took off in the U.S. We know the increase is largely due to fossil fuel production and this research suggests over half is from shale gas operations on.natgeo.com/2H5Hlz1
