From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “It proved an American misstep, fueled by xenophobia, that would forever alter the global balance of power.” Kathleen Kingsbury, the editor of Times Opinion, tells the cautionary story of a Chinese scientist who was deported from the U.S. during the Cold War.

My two most common editorial suggestions for manuscripts I handle are: (i) improve writing style by avoiding exaggerated terms, and (ii) ensure machine learning studies include a repository for reproducibility and reuse of models and data #EditorLife #ChemSky

I've taken a tiny step against facism by making a backup of the Department of Energy (NREL, specifically) Laboratory Analytical Procedure documents that I use periodically at work. I can't promise to track document updates or anything, but at least if these are deleted we'll have something. #ChemSky

Start of another day of #F24MRS and thick snow on the 30th+ floor of my hotel ❄️ Energy levels are somewhat running low at this point of the week and it’s tempting to crawl back into bed and watch the snow fall, but plenty of great science still to come 💪 #KeepGoing #TravellingScientist
