The real scandal in 1930s German politics was Kaiser Wilhelm’s cognitive decline

#AcademicTwitter Our students don't feel OK these days. They're anywhere between scared and concerned. We held a listening session in our department to hear them out. Everybody needs to do the same. This is the least we can do to show that we care & that we share their concerns.

Elementary school principals going where university presidents fear to tread...

This is how to deal with bullying @columbiauniversity.bsky.social not to shamelessly capitulate.

What happened to GOP 2017-20 is what is happening to our institutions now from big corporations to academia & big law firms. Turns out institutions were not worth defending. They are corrupt to the core & deserve annihilation. A shameful day culminating a scary week. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Lack of collective action by university presidents is shameful.

The outcome of this petition will determine whether we are still a constitutional republic or a banana republic.

What I don't understand about myself and academia in general, is why we are not in a general strike in support of our colleagues at Columbia, John Hopkins and others who have lost funding. Why is my day to day feeling like nothing huge is happening in the background. Tomorrow it's us.

This is insane! Are we going to war against Canada? Seriously? Thanks all the morons who voted this insanity into reality. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

I never expected to agree with Bannon on anything. But here, he has a valid point.

Thrilled & honored to be a recipient of a Sloan Fellowship in Chemistry. Thanks for my mentors, colleagues and most importantly my students, for making this possible. #SloanFellow.

It is so ironic to hear nothing about genocide when our new King is proposing to ethnically cleanse Gaza from Palestinians & use it as his beachfront property! It looks like Genocide Joe was never really about genocide after all.

It looks like we can no longer talk about "biased MD simulations". From today, umbrella sampling and metadynamics are banned in the US.

The revenge of South African Apartheid from the leader of the free world :(

Thrilled to announce my promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure at @YaleEngineering. Grateful for all the support/mentoring from my family & colleagues, but more importantly, for the ingenuity & hard work of my wonderful students without whom this wouldn't have been possible.

Maybe Tulsi Gabbard can let Assad stay at her house, since they are pals.

This is a very emotional moment for me, celebrating the liberation of Syria after five decades of brutal dictatorship & 14 years of painful war & suffering. As an Iranian, Syria was a defining moment for me. It not only made me permanently ashamed of the death and .

Our paper is out just in time for #EM_Monday! It is about a specialized neuron-specific ER, called the spine apparatus, which is found close to synapses and has a very peculiar shape. If you think neurons are special, the spine apparatus is their🦄 horn! But how does it form?! doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Few thoughts for people who continually talk about leaving the country. 1. Not everyone has that option or the resources and that’s not their fault. 2. In terms of solidarity it communicates you won’t be an ally if things get bad. 3. This is a worldwide movement. You can’t escape it.

Gas was already 10 cents more expensive today. #Trumpflation.

Stupid rubes like these deserve betrayal. Sadly many Muslim leaders played into this & hurt our community as a result. Hope they have the courage to admit mistake or the decency to shut up.

Hi! I am here to share things about myself and my group's work, and to vent about all the craziness and insanity.
