A faculty and a postdoc reached out to me today seeking advice about leaving academia…I don’t think this transition is talked about enough. If you’re considering, please reach out. I’m happy to share my (limited) experience.

Help me blow this up on twitter. My cousin has stage 4 uterine cancer and a bleak prognosis. She’s a writer and started a blog about her cancer experience. Please visit and RT. kissmychemo.blogspot.com

I don’t personally know Hirad, but I am rooting for him from afar in his fight against cancer. Sharing here so my network can consider donating. Thanks @SaEdNazemi for sharing. gofundme.com/f/hirad-khoshr…

Chess is not a game, chess is life. Games are for fun, life is for real.

I had limited interactions with Dr. Pedersen, but enough to know what a great person he was. And his body of work in sustainable nano speaks for itself. What a big loss, my heart goes out to his family and loved ones…

During the last 18 months, I have been contacted by 7 tenured or tenure-track faculty who wanted to leave academia and join industry. I know of 5 others who have made the move. Academia, what have you done?

I’m back on twitter to stay in touch with the many wonderful academic colleagues and to keep up with academic and chess twitter. I might also post things regarding chess and the alternative protein industry from time to time! 2/3

I’m back on twitter! As some of you know, I’m no longer an academic, I had a great time in academia and completed a bucket list item by becoming a tenured faculty, but life is too short to give up on other exciting experiences! 1/3

Silica particles are known to disrupt the membrane of erythrocytes. But what happens when the membrane loses its asymmetric structure? Find out by reading the great work of @ParnianBigdelou and @AmidVahedi (and thanks Dr. Kiosidou at the @ICMTCorrosion!) in @biointerphases!
