When @EFRCQ isn't laying down quantum-material foundation for an energy-efficient, fault-tolerant computer inspired by the brain ... apparently, they are pretty good poets.
CONGRATS on the @doescience Energy Frontier People's Choice Award: energyfrontier.us/poetry-sci… cc: @UCSanDiego
ALT Text of poem A Quest Profound: In this time of technology catching our gaze, Talk of AI is the wildest craze. But here’s a playful jest to impart, Did ChatGPT scribe this from the start? This search for progress, our thoughts ignite, With physics as guide, we seek the light, Energy efficiency—a quest profound, With quivering quanta, we thread the ground, For quantum materials, the mystery’s clear, Computers like the mind we hold so dear, Data’s dance in energy’s embrace, A kinship to the brain, in time and space. Why have logic and memory in serial, When you can instead use effects most ethereal, Whereby your resistance Exploits the existence— Of hysteresis in a quantum material!

The goals of a meritocracy are thwarted when affordability cuts the playing field.

Today's SCOTUS decision rejecting President Biden's #StudentLoan relief plan is disheartening. College affordability is a top priority at UC. Here's what we're doing to help students access a UC education ⬇️

Today’s SCOTUS ruling barring consideration of race in college admissions is disappointing. UC has worked to address inequity in #HigherEd without #AffirmativeAction for decades and we remain committed and prepared to support our peer institutions in expanding student diversity.

Disappointed in the SCOTUS decision to bar consideration of race in college admissions. Student diversity remains a top priority for @uofcalifornia. We will continue to create pathways to college and address inequality using every tool available to us. universityofcalifornia.edu/p…
