What I have done in November:
1. Work on two manuscripts.
2. Apply to two awards.
3. Review two papers (first time as independent referee).
4. Prepare for one poster and two talks for MRS.
Looking forward to MRS and then finally being able to go home after three years.

@zac_iton
worked his a** off on this paper - we started writing in 2021🥴 ZnPS3 takes up *a lot* of H2O in the grain boundaries, Zn2+ solvates into the H2O, leaving it's anion behind in the solid, to yield a superionic Zn2+ and H+ conductor.

I know that I have learned problem solving in grad school when some one asked me a question I don’t know:
Me in first year: “I don’t know.”
Me in fourth year: “ I haven’t done that myself, but I know *** has done it. The results show that ***. So I think ***.”

As I grow older, my goal in graduate school shifts from “have I got any data that can be published this week?” to “have I learned anything new this week?”. But the fact is, the more I learn, the more I find that I don’t know.

Whenever I feel life is difficult, I try to remind myself that it could be much worse, e.g. I was stuck in China and couldn’t finish my PhD.
I am starting to observe more negative impacts of the pandemic on mental health of graduate students, and of faculty/instructors. I'm worried. What were hairline cracks before are becoming big fault lines.

Papers published in other journals are pinned on another board. I agree it’s not a good thing to publish only on one journal. Diversity is a good thing for both the group and students.

These compounds could have been buried in the SI of my previous paper. But instead, Mercouri encouraged me to fully study and expand them into a new project.
