At CLEO PACIFIC RIM. Had a chance to spend time with Satoshi president of @OpticaWorldwide #Optica - next year it’s my turn!
(2/2) Note: faculty from outside the department usually do not really count as much as potential future collaborators since they do not get to make the final hiring decision
(1/1) In honor of my father-the best mentor in the world- here are tips for for faculty interviewing. when asked with whom you could collaborate, go as broad as possible. Mention faculty that are also outside your area and explain how their research is connected to yours.
Voyant Photonics is hiring for several positions: voyantphotonics.com/careers/ . We aim to revolutionize 3D LIDAR, shrinking it down onto a silicon chip and enabling a future of ubiquitous chip-scale active sensing using silicon photonics. Check it out!
(2/2): I also see a lot of:” she has a lot of potential”, she is a “rising star” (for a senior PI), as well as “I have mentored her ”, “I encouraged her” , etc. I almost never see those in letters for male scientists/engineers.
(1/2)When writing references for a female, let's be mindful of implicit bias. Emphasize actual accomplishments as opposed to general adjectives describing effort and desire to succeed. I personally see a lot of: she is a “go-getter”, “trendsetter”, “ambitious” “enthusiastic”.
10 days ago my father, Prof. Raymond Fox (later Reuven Opher), has left us. The world has lost an inspiring, brilliant, caring man. He was one of Technion Physics Dept, founders in Israel (2nd top left) and later joined the Univ. of Sao Paulo (IAG), Brazil
In the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of the wisdom of an incredible mentor- my father. Here is #1 :" Try to make an impact on science or on technology. Make sure not to be in-between, doing neither. "

Three pioneer climate scientists, one of whom calculated the greenhouse effect of Carbon Dioxide 164 years ago!
A fascinating @BBCIdeas film.

Yesterday I felt ill and got tested for covid today. Positive. No idea how I got it . Please be very careful and stay healthy!

Sad news about Mark! It's a huge loss not only to the #plasmonics #nanooptics community but also the wider #photonics community! Where to get those tricky (but very constructive) questions now at conferences?
Honoring a true #greatscientist and charismatic person prof. Mark I. Stockman. #Plasmonics community and conferences would never be the same without Mark on the first row... @GeorgiaStateU #nanolasers #nanophotonics #plasmonics #nanooptics

.#WomenInScience still face significant implicit bias on the basis of their gender. Meet 6 women tech sheroes who inspire us all to break down #STEM stereotypes: unwo.men/JDBV30ny9bB #GlobalGoals
This comic reminded me of when my mom asked me how many hours I work a day...I had no idea what to answer. Reading a paper in bed count as working?

Great piece on The New York Times on #AI #Bias. Particularly this quote by Olga Russakovsky: "There 3 root causes of bias in #ArtificialIntelligence systems. The first one is bias in the #data (...). The second root cause of bias…lnkd.in/g9qp8N2 lnkd.in/gx2D_6r
Sad to hear about Watt Webb. He was a giant.
Watt W. Webb was a giant in biphotonics and a creative inventor. A huge loss for @Cornell and @CornellEng .

Very happy to have had the chance to write about some light-related Nobel prizes for a Perspective in Advanced Photonics. dx.doi.org/10.1117/1.AP.2.5.… There's a nice poster you can download as well! @SPIEtweets
