Sup chapos, thought I’d share here cos I don’t have many people to celebrate with.

If anyone wants to know more or has any questions, or just wants to call me a filthy lib then hit me up

Fucking sick. Make a battery that puts renewables in a position to own fossil fuels even harder.

Congrats! Battery research is honestly one of the good ones, it’s really important and about as far from bombing people as you get in physics.

Thanks man! And yeah truly, the booklet of projects when I was picking my masters research was full of weakly masked military-esque shit like “tracking individual birds within variable flock dynamics”.

Luckily I got mine on 2D materials (focused toward graphene) for use in supercapacitors, and I had a GREAT comrade of a supervisor who let me switch focus to go full-on sustainability, and also encouraged me while I unionised my workmates of a bar I worked in lmao. Nature is full of ways to help science out if we just take the time to look.

That’s the wildest paragraph I’ve ever read in my life, absolutely insane that you can do cutting edge physics with literal garbage and waste material. Good on ya

I feel like decadence and recycling is very much in the zeitgeist and has been for a while; I realized that’s the weird future Star Wars envisions, with empires building extremely resource-intensive structures while rebels living a basically feudal lifestyle salvage broken and abandoned tech to build their own tech. A non sequitur, but that’s kind of the vibe I get given how hard it is to find funding with a lot of science

“But how are you going to defend the revolution against a massive army with cutting-edge modern tech?”

We won’t need to; if we can sit back sustainably enough, we will watch it fall apart on its own.

I just tried to imagine hitting someone with a solid state bomb and I came up with dropping anvils on people’s heads like a Looney Toons character

There are some parts of astrophysics that I think are also reasonably far from bombing people, but also, you’re not really helping them either.

As a climatologist I’m glad we have some people like you working in the necessary other step of climate management.

:fidel-salute-big: thank you comrade for your hard work and dedication to saving our planet
