   Haunting bit of concept art. Finally had a chance to watch last week's NSF announcement of the #MultimessengerAstronomy observation. Wished I could have been there to ask 50 questions. Disappointed more local science press did not. https://twitter.com/apod/status/1018880506115608578

   Heading to #CERN again tonight by way of London. Walking DFW Terminal D before my flight to get some exercise. I choose to believe these are @SMU Mustangs on the floor mural. #PonyUp (also, #PonyDown, #PonyStrange, #PonyCharm, #PonyBottom, and #PonyTop) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1018979818761805824/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51372

   It was an accomplishment fueled by an incredible @ATLASexperiment team and collaboration, fantastic data from the #LHC, and, as always, hard work. Happy @SMU could play a part in this chapter. #Higgs #bquark https://twitter.com/SMUDedman/status/1017881788155420673

   From Nigel_Lockyer https://twitter.com/Nigel_Lockyer on Twitter: Francis Halzen discusses how ICE CUBE data miners found a dozen neutrinos from the same BLAZAR where they found the single multi-hundred TEV neutrino that points to a flaring galaxy 4 billion lights years away. https://twitter.com/Nigel_Lockyer/status/1017452201147498496/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51335

   Learn more about the awesome and ubiquitous neutrino from @PBS @novapbs "The Ghost Particle": http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/neutrino/ Available from streaming services, but the articles on the above page are excellent reading on the subject. #MultimessengerAstronomy

    Just over a year ago @SMU welcomed @uw_icecube physicist @UWMadison professor Francis Halzen to share the context, vision, and history of neutrino telescopes with us and receive an honorary degree from SMU. Yesterday, #IceCube achieved a new milestone! #MultimessengerAstronomy https://twitter.com/SMUPhysics/status/865347839723008001

    I love papers with big discoveries and unassuming titles. Today, celebrate Anderson and Neddermeyer seeing the muon in light of #IceCubes big detection of the origin of some high energy neutrinos: Phys.

    From Jukebox_jackie https://twitter.com/Jukebox_jackie on Twitter: Big thanks to @drsekula for inviting me to tour @SMUPhysics! I think the most breathtaking feature was seeing Dr.Coan's NOvA control room with its live feed of neutrinos (my favs).@ferpsihas came along for the ride & it was awesome.I'm really glad to have had this opportunity https://twitter.com/Jukebox_jackie/status/1017207589376012289/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51310

    .@Jukebox_jackie: I had a lot of fun meeting you today and sharing the @SMUPhysics department with you, your family, and @ferpsihas. I wish you the best in selecting the university that is the right fit for you, and certainly welcome your interest in our program! #Physics4Ever! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1017203332987965440/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51307
