@de_isja Thanks for the suggestion, I will do some research about it!

Ahhhh - I had not realised before that about half my spoken words consists of 'um'😮. How can I get better at talking?

@ja_pascoe Thanks! Perhaps I should intentionally speak slowly - i.e. leave silence between each word, and test how long it takes to sound awkward. I noticed it in a recording of myself giving a talk. Almost every word is punctuated by 'um'.

@TEMguru Thanks - that sounds like a good idea, even reading out loud to myself to start with. I read really fast in my head by my reading out loud ability is worse than the average 12-year old

There is always time for #ScienceCake when preparing slides: meet this very hungry fatigue crack in a cake-jelly composite 🐊🍰 Do these cake crystals have an easy-crack plane? What about WC crystals in WC-Co hardmetals? Find out at #EUROMAT2023

"Just add water" pancake mix under SEM. Looks like blobs of buttermilk/oil and crystals of baking soda in a sticky gluten substrate

Super exciting news about Smith, Meyers, @cs_kaplan, Goodman-Strauss's discovery of an "einstein"—a single shape that tiles the plane aperiodically! I decided to create a 3D-printable version of it. You can find it here: thingiverse.com/thing:5923307 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798

I'm not great at managing travel admin, and get *very* tired from new places & people - this can be chaotic/stressful! Virtual meeting options help a lot. This time, attending in-person was definitely worthwhile as it's easier to actively participate.

Ngl - my workload in the run-up to the workshop was rough! (If I tried to keep it up for much longer it would have broken me.) But I am grateful for awesome colleagues at NPL who took on a lot of my 'normal' work so that I could join in #MTEX 2023.

Just wrote some notes from #MTEX 2023 workshop - ended up with >1700 words! Super grateful to have 8 days to focus 100% on #EBSD #MATLAB #crystallography. I learnt so much, & so many exciting things I want to do / help with / contribute to now!

Would any Berlin-based folk here be up for meeting on Friday afternoon? :) Alternatively, any recommendations for interesting things to do?

I am running out of time to prepare slides for a talk and therefore procrastinating with powerpoint stick figures... meet the 5 main EBSD users in our lab👍

@DrStuartR Cool - that looks incredibly clean for an organic nonconductive sample! How do you get the sample surface flat? Do you need a cryostage to keep it from melting?
