Having been part of scientific research councils in Canada, the UK, the US, and Mexico, I consider the NSF to be hands down the most rigorous, fair, and impactful agency. It is now being dismantled, which is a catastrophy for global science. This is serious folks. www.instagram.com/p/DJcHVW6tv6...

Congratulations to #silvascience alumn Dr Esteban Rojas Gatjens who was a finalist for the Division of Chemical Physics Justin Junkas Doctoral Dissertation Award of the American Physical Society. His PhD thesis on nonlinear coherent spectroscopy of 2D metal halides was highly original and impactful.
