I really enjoyed the twin seminars today on both improved theoretical understanding of the Muon g-2, and the improved experimental understanding of g-2. I look forward to all the papers on the experimental results, but the >4 sigma disagreement between the two cannot be ignored.

Had an awesome seni-normal moment today. Masked and socially distanced, one of our #PHYS1303 students and I used a force meter to measure the coefficient of static friction between a horseshoe and silicone. I said semi-normal.
