In this new podcast episode, Dr. Jia “Leo” Li shares his research on emergent quantum phenomena in 2D materials, their thrilling recent discovery of a new type of particle, his path to becoming a successful scientist, challenges, advice, life outside the lab, and more!
"Quanta Magazine unravels the 'mystery' of brain fluid flow, because who doesn't love a good brain fluid saga? Spoiler: it's just more fluid #dynamics but with a touch of biological jargon to sound fancy.

Wo ist eigentlich immer noch #SchrödingersKatze?
Hoffe es am nun letzten Ausstellungstag der #dpgr25 herauszufinden ...
Daher: Letzte Chance für Gespräche am Stand T16 der @tibhannover im Zelt! Komm(t) vorbei!
... eventuell gibt's ja
-Hinweise zur Mittagszeit, wenn es heißt "Let's talk about #sciencecommunication!" mit @nicolas_woehrl und #PeterKohl von der @unidue ... Auch dabei?
Our talk at the Newswise Research-To-Practice Webinar: "Perils and Promise of Generative AI for Science Communication"
We discussed our article “The Purity Myth: Why Stigmatizing AI in Academic Writing Is Harmful”
Our first #ScienceCommunication editorial is published! Here, we highlight one of our recently published studies on a classic "dinosaur trackway" from the 1940s

Did #ColliderFest today on the Viper HPC stand! It was fun talking to people about supercomputing/HPC and AI, but also exhausting.
Used my UMAP word cloud demo to talk about how foundational language models (e.g. like ChatGPT, Ollama, etc) work, and how hallucinations come about.

Here is a sneak peek of Secrets in the structure - out now on Big Biology!
In this episode, we talk with Scott Edwards, the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Curator of Ornithology at Harvard University. We talk to Scott about the new ways we can describe and understand large chunks of DNA that till recently we have not been able to characterize directly.
