The LA fires are a human tragedy. But Republican lawmakers don't seem to care about human beings, so let's re-frame it. The GDP of the County of Los Angeles is larger than the GDP of all but ~20 countries. It has a larger GDP than Sweden or Taiwan. Helping it recover is incredibly important.

Reading comments👇🏾 and 🙈! I am a scientist who came from nothing. No $ can buy grit, faith, resilience etc. grad school stipend was priceless- it was more than enough. Sorry but I believe character development and discipline will make more scientists than more resources. My apologies if I offend.

Does Africa need a light source? At ~US$ 1 billion initial cost and US$100 million annual maintenance, can the continent do it or should there be other priorities? #chemsky www.africanlightsource.org

Kostya Novoselov @ NU Singapore @nobelprize.bsky.social kicks off the African MRS meeting in Kigali, Rwanda africanmrs.net/rwanda-2024/ #nano #materials @materials-mrs.bsky.social

Amazing plenary lineup today at the African @materials-mrs.bsky.social meeting in Kigali Profs. @francesarnold.bsky.social @caltech.edu, Martin Thuo @ncstate.bsky.social, & Nick Kotov @umichigan.bsky.social + CEO Tony Githinji STL Kenya #nano #materials + I will be speaking this afternoon

Using liquid metal, scientists have devised a new way to make electronics that assemble themselves, with prototypes including transistors and diodes. By @cqchoi.bsky.social for @ieeespectrum.bsky.social spectrum.ieee.org/self-assembly

This is nothing like the liquid metal Terminator, thankfully, but self-assembling electronics could radically transform how we make computer chips. It could also be much cheaper than today's billion-dollar chip fabs with their expensive lithography machines. 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2459...

onwards to the NSF ICORP nationals, will this the be the biggest challenge yet? Thanks @shiplives.bsky.social, @cqchoi.bsky.social and @jeremyhsu.bsky.social for fantastic highlights of this work! spectrum.ieee.org/self-assembly

I don't know if it's Christmas yet in America, but if so, allow me to share my favorite Christmas meme.
