Prelude

Welcome to Dice With the Universe!

Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.

The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.

Welcome again. Enjoy your stay.

A good day (more news on the papers)

Well, I have to say that I didn't anticipate such a rush of publicity for our recent paper. After being featured in Nature, it is also got the cover of the upcoming issue of ACS Nano and, in addition will be featured in Nano Today and Materials Today. There also was a phootoshoot of our group for a University press release on the subject. My advisor was also invited to write a feature article on the subject for Polymer with a promise to appear on the cover as well. All this is kind of overwhelming. In a good way, though. This day of good news was topped by the fact that another of our papers was accepted with really minor revisions to another pretty big journal. Lots to be cheerful about (there is, of course, Israeli Independence day coming next week as well :-) )
