I loathe the narrative that engineering faculty (both R&D focused and education focused) aren’t doing real engineering.

If your save the date isn’t a calendar notice, if your big event you want your staff to attend didn’t include a calendar notice, if your regular but randomly scheduled meetings don’t have a calendar notice, they don’t exist.

My researchers keep asking for a forklift when we have pallet jacks at home.

Does anyone know of a citable source for US power demand projections over the next 3-4 years or ideally longer?

A good trait of a leader is one who listens to concerns and criticisms without being dismissive or attacking the person who spoke up.

Headhunters are the most nonsensical people I’ve had to deal with. Completely unprepared to recruit or fulfill their contracts if they’re reaching out to TT faculty for entry level jobs expecting a serious response.

Virginia tech’s football team is so bad they’re trying to give away tickets to their football game to all state employees. 🤣

Fusion energy folks crapping on and disassociating from nuclear energy folks stems from nuclear energy folks saying things like you did about how “it’s a dream”.

Please don’t engage with me again.

Yeah no, that’s not the message folks should get from my original content.

I’m thoroughly amused by fusion folks who hates hearing/seeing folks say/write “nuclear fusion energy” and not “fusion energy”.

Pretty sure the terminology nuclear fusion is what popular culture will use.

I really wish fusion energy companies would not crap on nuclear energy as a way to promote fusion.

Reminder to NIH funded folks, you are not the only people who get federal funding. Those of us funded through DOE/NSF/USDA/etc are not irrelevant. Please do not treat us like we do not matter because we do not do NIH funded work.

I desperately want the background story movie behind the SmokeStack twins from Sinners.

I'm joining this because my institution does and it's the worst experience.

@americanair.bsky.social your customer, in Seat 3C on Flight AA4990 RIC to ORD, physically threatened me after I asked him to not poke and slap the person sitting next to me in seat 2D.

I hope y’all decide to tell this person to chill out with the attempts at physical intimidation on planes.

i’d rather we invest our time and energy and improving the ability to make flat pack modular mass timber pre-fabrication more cost-effective and viable than spend $ chasing dreams of 3-D printed concrete houses

Too round to be serious :3

I really feel conflicted by this. QT makes sense for GA, if you grew up there you know. But Buckees is more popular than Pilot in Tennessee? Wat

@dannyavula.bsky.social are you (The City) going to give grants to helps restaurants that have to cancel service again today through the rest of the boil water notice?

Water boil advisory twice in the same six month period is going to be extremely damaging to the restaurant industry.

Regulatory Reforms the Nuclear Industry wants I surveyed lots of people in the nuclear industry and made a list of reforms that most people agreed on

Everyone says nuclear power is overregulated. With the big nuclear EOs looming, I spent a few weeks talking to people in the nuclear industry to find out which reforms they thought would be most helpful, and which they were nervous about. Here are the top 12. whatisnuclear.com/news/2025-05...

I could really go without a grant agency claiming charges on a year past closed out grant are retroactively not allowed.

Journals, please stop trying to shorten review time. A review is gonna take a month no matter what, don't ask me to do it in 7, 14, or 21 days.

Unigiri at the bar?

（Uni sometimes looks like an onigiri, so I call him Unigiri）

the most stubborn dog on earth

It's fun to ask what kind of mathematics different animals would discover first, what they would find intuitive.

Octopi would obviously instantly figure out differential geometry, but I think possums would discover statistics before the Pythagorean theorem.

End of the academic year fatigue has kicked in. Oof.
