Ate-a-Pi on Twitter: "The papers were not ready for publication. Lee &ampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampamp; Kim had been working on the material on and off since Kim was in graduate school in 1999 (LK-99 geddit?). Lee never makes tenure and is still stuck as an adjunct professor 19 years later. Kim goes off to work in battery materials…" / Twitter https://twitter.com/8teAPi/status/1684385895565365248 147 comments

Andrew McCalip on Twitter: "Meissner effect or bust. Day 1. Made good progress on the list of to-dos. I'm doing this all after-hours, so it's been a long day. Since we're gated by the delivery of the PbO + Pb(SO4), which should be tomorrow, we're working on infrastructure first. https://t.co/CLHlL5DOul" / Twitter https://twitter.com/andrewmccalip/status/1684433849781202944 3 comments
Alex Volkov - targum.video on Twitter: "Oh boy, do we have a space prepared for you? Myself, @8teAPi @sanxiyn and hopefully @andrewmccalip @alexkaplan0 @Andercot and more folks, will go through what we currently know about LK-99 developments, including Seoul ground reporting and timelines! https://t.co/264dn74wua" / Twitter https://twitter.com/altryne/status/1685398317570949120 2 comments

Andrew McCalip on Twitter: "Meissner effect or bust. Day 2 An absolute emotional rollercoaster. We've been back so many times, I've lost count The first reaction to make Lanarkite (PbO + PbSO4) is running in the furnace! We opted to do 80% in an open air alumina crucible and 20% in a sealed quartz tube https://t.co/7km6Lc1C1Y" / Twitter https://twitter.com/andrewmccalip/status/1684821396411809792 0 comments
