Nesse episódio, eu conto como um império formado por duas pessoas, um príncipe, que morreu de diarréia, é um beato, que foi espancado pelos súditos do príncipe, saiu da sarjeta para dominar o Saara Ocidental, o Marrocos e... a Espanha?!

Só ouvindo para entender.

(Oli vaihe, että koordinoimaani ALD-historiaprojektia ”VPHA” vastustivat enemmän tai vähemmän kaikki muut Suomessa, paitsi #Suntola itse. Ilman sitä projektia ei olisi tullut Millennium-palkintoa.)

… Minulle tämä nosto on suoraa jatkumoa aiemmalle avoimen tieteen toiminnalleni, josta sain kunniamaininnan 2023 Aallossa.

Ensimmäinen avoimen tieteen projektini oli Virtual Project on the History of ALD (#VPHA #ALDep), joka mm. johti #Suntola ’n Millenniumpalkintoon 2018.

Avoimuus vaikuttaa.

This of all my publications has the highest #Altmetrics attention score, 39 at the moment.

"A Short History of Atomic Layer Deposition: Tuomo Suntola's Atomic Layer Epitaxy"
doi.org/10.1002/cvde...

(Quite a story itself, the publishing of it would be...)

Great first event as @britishvets.bsky.social President! VPHA & AGV Conference is a friendly, engaging and informative event

I didn't get to the annual meeting this year, but VPhA had a ce session on it, fwiw.

Returning to work after some time truly off-work - was needed.

In the meantime, one paper accepted (great!) and a minor revision (great, too!).

And I learn that a core collaborator from the #VPHA #ALDep history project has published a book! I will share the link in a reply.

Happy New Year, all!

Some time ago, I gave a visiting lecture about the history of atomic layer deposition #ALDep in a course organized by Prof. Miikkulainen at @aalto.fi. The slides and lecture capture are now available, please see my blog post for links. blogs.aalto.fi/catprofopen/... 🧪 #Suntola #VPHA

The book is by Yu. Koshtyal and A. Rumyantsev. Yury was a core collaborator in the #VPHA #ALDep history project. I am eternally grateful for him for volunteering: the project would have been very different without him.

New post in ALD History Blog: The #VPHA #ALDep history website is to retire.

I set the website up - what, 13 years ago? It has served its purpose, time to let go. For any contents anyone would like to save, good to go & download in the near future.

Digging back some materials from the #ALDhistoryblog, I notice: according to the total pageviews image, there are quite some recent visitors, and the total is well over 250 000. Not bad, for #ALDep history #VPHA.

Oh, and the VPHA papers! (Virtual Project on the History of ALD)

Noiden mainittujen esseiden lisäksi julkaisimme kaksi artikkelia.

Ensimmäinen oli suositeltu lukemislista vanhoista artikkeleista, jonka koostimme yhdessä VPHA-osallistujajoukon kanssa. Artikkelja on enemmän kuin ehtii käsitellä, joten äänestimme, mitä kannattaa nostaa yleisempään tietoon.

Kahdeksan vuotta #JAP2005 review-artikkelin julkaisemisesta, vuonna 2013, aloimme Virtual Project on the History of ALD (#VPHA) -projektin, johon kaikki halukkaat kaikkialta maailmasta olivat tervetulleita. Koordinoin sitä (harrastuksena) monta vuotta, aluksi aktiivisesti, nyttemmin vähemmän.

Itse tilaisuuteen sain kutsun (ja tiedon voittajasta NDA:lla suojattuna) koska olin kirjoittanut organisaationi edustajana voittajasta nimityskirjeen. Sain sille maailmalta 40 tukikirjettä. Pohjan menestyksekkäälle nimityksellä loi koordinoimani Virtual Project on the History of ALD (#VPHA #ALDep).

PHSA students stepped into policy work during a Legislative Advocacy Day. As Sonia Riaz, M.D., M.P.H., noted, “Advocacy requires… strategic communication rooted in teamwork and consistency.” Our students showed exactly that.
