Today, I will opt out of any #MDPI email communication. Yet another email asking to peer review work that's clearly out of my expertise was the drop that filled the bucket.

Not to speak about the perpetuum mobile giving you vouchers for publishing your own work after you have reviewed something.

Not to speak about the insane amount of "special issues", one of which I was recently asked to co-edit while there's an ongoing one on exactly the same topic edited by a colleague.

No more words needed when you see the attached figure which I shamelessly stole from this fantastic article recommended by a friend.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying there's nothing wrong re: publishing culture in science in general but #MDPI is really pushing it here

Can you spot the difference?

One of the downsides of heavy-butt turbo pumps: they only spin up to 650 Hz 👂💥🤯

Yo #ScienceMastodon,
If you are looking for #quantum chitchat, at times useless trivia, and #research updates on our work in the field of #quantumtechnologies for inertial sensing: this is where it's at!

Did you know that humankind will likely never laser cool potassium worth the amount in a single 🍌?

#TIL today I learned, that Pauli called Fermi merely a "quantum engineer", and since it was Pauli, most definitely in a super condescending fashion. Can't stop laughing from today's perspective 🤣

All those years I bragged about my 462MHz Yahi-Uda type antenna. Turns out it's resonant for 438MHz and only works well enough for us 😅

What might be an "archival journal" to you is a major milestone to me. Extremely happy that our work on fast generation of Bose-Einstein condensates written and driven by @derherbstistda is finally published @PhysRevA!
