Dominique Brown's tragic death reminded me of something I noticed last week. It's 2024, nut allergies are very common, and United Airlines still pushes the death-pellets onto unsuspecting passengers. How about asking first? And have the list of ingredients for all food served onboard.

Congrats to the #PECASE awardees! Including PopLab alumnus David Estrada, Ph.D., and Stanford/SLAC colleagues Amir Safavi-Naeini, Arianna Gleason, Chelsea Finn, Guosong Hong, Debbie Senesky 🚀, Dorsa Sadigh, Mary Wootters -- and to Stanford alumnae Duygu Kuzum & Saniya LeBlanc! whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

Thursday, in the life of a professor.

Confusing sight today, at Stanford... is that an abandoned Porsche SUV or someone driving around and parking with those things, hoping to confuse parking enforcement? Note how they're arranged, almost too neatly.

On the research job market? I posted some advice about interviewing on LinkedIn. This is about faculty jobs, but some of it is pretty universal: linkedin.com/posts/eric-pop…

I often read that academia isn't producing PhDs ready for industry jobs. To me, this is fake news among US #engineering departments I know. I charted the PhD and postdoc career paths from my own group, and posted more thoughts on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

If you work in semiconductors, have you considered "underdog carriers," the "Schottky hurdle," and "voltage preference"? Because "minority," "barrier," and "bias" seem to be on a naughty list at NSF now. I wrote more about this on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/posts/eric-pop…

Thank you, Russ Altman and Future of Everything podcast (link below), for inviting me to talk about the future of electronics, going beyond silicon and copper.

Thank you for inviting me to this, USC School of Advanced Computing. It was a thought-provoking symposium on the future of computing -- as well as a great chance to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.

If you're at the Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring 2025 Meeting in Seattle, stop by to catch our group's 7 talks! Topics range from #2dmaterials to (nanoscale) thermal transport, flexible transistors, and radiation-hard materials. #S25MRS mrs.org/meetings-event…
