Excited to spotlight MARSS, set for 7/1-7/5/24 in Delft, Netherlands! Supported by IEEE-NTC & IEEE-RAS, MARSS is the go-to hub for small-size robotics—covering manipulation, automation, & measurement (nano to centimeters). marss-conference.org

I rarely speak up, but when it happens so much… Dear grant reviewers: Stop suggesting male colleague “experts” to “oversee” research of female PIs who are experts themselves. Are the many, many pubs not sufficient credibility? This does not happen to male PIs. Trust female PIs.

Make small progress everybody regardless of any circumstances.

Show up daily even when you don't want to. Success doesn't wait for your feelings or mood.

Motivation is a myth. Taking action despite feeling low is what drives you closer to your goals.

Celebrating our faculty champions that inspire a culture of innovation! Bravo. 🎉Commercialization Champion: Bo Zhang, VT School of Plant and Environmental Sciences 🎉Startup Builder: Webster Santos, Virginia Tech Chemistry By Example Awards: 🎉Bahareh Behkam, Virginia Tech Mechanical Engineering 🎉Robert Gourdie, Virginia Tech Biomedical Engineering & Mechanics bit.ly/3xTZoFR

We have not one, but TWO graduate programs ranked in the top 10! Our civil engineering program is ranked #9 and environmental engineering is tied for #5 by U.S. News and World Report. Read more about all of the rankings at news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

Science is a career full of rejection & self doubt. Most scientists don't go around collecting awards & kudos but sit there wondering if anyone reads our papers. Telling a scientist whose work you like that you value & appreciate what they do is a small & very meaningful gesture.

Stress doesn't come from hard work, it comes from inaction If you feel stressed, watch this 👇
