#postdoc Last few days to apply to this call! But the application is simple. If you're looking for a postdoc in condensed matter, do not hesitate. Now that the whole world is on crisis, Argentina 🇦🇷 is not different (and we have more experience 😌). Spread the word!

In a fit of madness, I decided to start converting all my slides from 4:3 to 16:9, as is now the most widely used aspect ratio of most displays 🖥📽. I hope it'll remain unchanged until my retirement. If someone decide to establish a new standard I'll kill them with my bare hands #AcademicLife
