Those are important things, Hiroki. Also: if you take your work as art, it will be subtly but decisively influenced by the environment, inside and outside work. If one wants to see their art growing beautifully, taking care of having an environment matching their energy and soft needs is essential 🌱

😅😅

Those must be the angles containing nachostructural information 😌

Congrats @jiyeonkim.bsky.social!! 👏 🎊 🌟

Of course. Pastries are actually ideal for diversity and shareability

Let's form a movement. We need a motto... "Garnish or vanish", "Publish, more Cherries" sth like that.

While enjoying keeping in mind the inconsistencies that I find, I like to focus on what makes models (thus terminology) useful, not "correct", since in absolute terms models are intrinsically incorrect (I'm a big fan of George E. P. Box's quote)

Also, like I like to remind, words mean different things to different communities, unavoidably. Lattice is latex for Italians, oxygen is a metal for astrophysicists, and elastic scattering will probably remain "reflection by ordered atoms" for crystallography students

Indeed, Richard... something I hinted at: rigorous terminology can be delusional, and for some things it's arguably too late. I would love to have people say just "peaks" but I know that "Reflection" will remain. Plus: it carries a misunderstanding story which makes the word wrong but interesting.

Ahah it sounds like an ancient relic, nice. I like reciprogram, which makes us reciprogrammers and sounds very professional.

You kindof answered yourself 😊 Diffractograms never contain only diffraction and saying the word implies that diffuse and inelastic scattering are not there. Of course, it means thinking about every time we use the word "diffraction" in structural science terminology

Oh that's refined, I would get rid of "reflection" and "diffractogram" way earlier... and "lattice" should vanish from any scientific language -- too polluted to resolve its issues, let's leave it to common speech where it came from (with the meaning of "flat strip" 😅 no idea how it became an array)

Ahah we should definitely collect those kind of takes in an official database celebrating the global diversity of minds 😄

Ahah that is an excellent "correlation vs causation" example 🤌

My brain is a 'pet peeve vault' when it comes to terminology in materials and structural science... But I try to keep in mind that absolute rigor is like model perfection: not only delusional, but sometimes also impractical. Humans are messy and science is a wonderfully human thing 😄

Practicing knowledge as an art form, when successful enough in role-playing a gross hybrid between salesman and politician. I guess kids would look at me confused...

Anyway, with the little contrast between the cookies it's basically like doing the FFT of eyes and white lines

Braggy or not? because you need at least a 2x2 unit cells for the first option... assuming that pointy blobs are Bragg enough for you :D

Nice! I Wish I had them here (of course for symmetry evaluation purposes... you know, in person you get a better feeling for it). #BakeYourPattern
