Interesting. I made an animation that switches between your Feb Instagram version and Trump's version of this (despicable) image. It looks like the whole top ~5% of the image was changed, not just the horned beast. Maybe the original image was cropped then extended using AI? Regardless, weird.
⚒️🧪 Got an @earthscope.org email saying that the #ArtemisII re-entry shockwave may be audible in coastal southern California between 17:00 and 17:15 PDT or so today!

"All the President's Men" is my all-time favorite movie. Lots of interesting tidbits and trivia about the movie in this thread:
A montage of pills we tested using Disintegration Fingerprinting.
I've got one!
After learning from @who.int about the global problem of substandard and falsified medicines a few years ago, I made it a priority in my research lab to develop low-cost and easy-to-use tools for identifying fake drugs: groverlab.org/fakes/

Woo hoo #microfluidics on Artemis II!
This is batshit crazy... So just to make sure I understand, was the Facebook-AI-generated copy suggested for you to use in an ad *you* would pay for to promote your article? Or is someone else paying Facebook to generate ads like this and Facebook was getting your OK to link the ad to your article?

The paper is at pubs.acs.org/articlesonre... and if you have any problems accessing it, an identical preprint is at www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1.... All data, source code, and CAD designs are freely available at open.groverlab.org. [4/4] 🧪
Disintegration Fingerprints for three pills (orange, blue, and green) of each of 32 different drug products. While each product’s DFs are relatively similar, DFs of different products are strikingly different.
Average Disintegration Fingerprints for the 32 products tested
We used DF to test pills from 32 different drug products and found that it correctly identified 90% of these pills. Even when testing pills from 33 different manufacturing lots of two similar drug products, our technique still correctly identified 100% of the pills. [3/4] 🧪
Our prototype Disintegration Fingerprinting apparatus. (A) A servo drops a single pill into a water-filled cup atop a magnetic stirrer. The pill begins to disintegrate into particles (B), and an infrared optical sensor on the side of the cup detects the light reflected by individual particles as they pass the sensor (C). As the particles disintegrate and dissolve further, the number of particles detected changes (D). A plot of peak count versus time (E) serves as a “Disintegration Fingerprint” for this pill.
The technique converts the disintegration and dissolution of a pill into a digital fingerprint that can be compared to other pills' fingerprints to find a match and determine the authenticity of the medicine. [2/4] 🧪

Our latest out today in the journal Analytical Chemistry:
"Disintegration Fingerprinting" uses a $4 optical sensor (meant for use in toy robots!) to identify substandard and falsified medicines, which are a massive problem in many parts of the world. [1/4] 🧪#chemsky
Very cool work. When life gives you layer-line lemons, make microfluidic lemonade!
Ah, the human brain... I have to stop and think to remember my phone number, but I still remember every stupid TV advertising jingle from the '80s.

I have a literal typewriter in my office for those times when I'm tempted to throw my computer out the window.
I faced something similar and got around it by setting the new WIFI name and password to be the same as the old WIFI name/password, so the various smart things didn’t realize that anything had changed. Maybe that might work?
Anyway it’s indeed a headache, good luck!
The experience of browsing for a rental in Reel Video on Shattuck in Berkeley was 1000% superior to anything I've ever done on a computer in my entire life.
I wonder if those are "tin whiskers" coming out of the lead between the two resistors? Or maybe just plating flaking off...
spam text I received reading "I might make pancakes tomorrow want some"
I know it's a scam but I also want pancakes...
Wait, is that an art exhibit or the actual loo?
Well if we're sharing 3D periodic tables, here's a 3D printed one I made, based on a design Canadian chemist Paul-Antoine Giguère published in 1966:
Congratulations Jack!
skybridges on skybridges on skybridges in downtown Atlanta
For comparison, downtown Atlanta has over 70 skybridges, most of them the work of John Portman (who coincidentally designed L.A.'s Westin Bonaventure in your video). Convenient for workers in Portman's buildings, but criticized for making the street-level pedestrian experience less pleasant.
