   Made a brief stop at the historical marker for Canada's first nuclear power reactor, the NPD. This is located near Chalk River, Ontario. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/e951419e7f9672f67fcdfba0c12bf98b172523ec339e2b13ec429397f6b4bfcf/view

   From jodi on Mastodon: The Globe and Mail recently visited SNOLAB for their feature article on dark matter. I enjoyed showing off the lab and talking science with Ivan Semeniuk and his colleagues. https://www. theglobeandmail.com/canada/art icle-the-new-hunt-for-dark-matter/

   Today is my new faculty orientation day at # QueensU ! I joined the faculty September 1 last year and missed all the orientation opportunities last cycle, so I am excited to more fully integrate into my new institution today! It is hard to be seconded to a great lab like # SNOLAB while a faculty member at a beautiful university 6 hours driving away, so I am trying to make time quarterly to be present at Queen's to build and sustain new relationships and community.

   Had a great time at the # Canadian # Astroparticle Physics Community Meeting. I especially enjoyed the two theoretical physics talks looking at new ways to explore # darkmatter and the discussions about how Canada might evolve its funding models to provide and project long-term stability for planning, executing, and completing very large and necessary experiments (e.g. with 20-30 year full lifecycles). https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/db0c6ff5e3b235af437f34842d321af4eac5aaf767e130ca29ba7ce0adb4d9a7/view

   On the road to # Kingston # Ontario for the annual Canadian # Astroparticle # Physics Community Meeting! We were a little delayed out of the gate due to duties at # SNOLAB . https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/4b954ae35cda7cb9a4703edd3350de6b4516f0d06145b5af75f1be22fca5804b/view

   What a great Sunday. @ jodi and I went to # BellPark on Lake # Ramsey here in # Sudbury and checked out # PoutineFest . Had a good lunch and took a nice walk on the path along the park, where we ran into one of the park staff repairing a mural honoring the airport that used to be on the lake. It’s made from individual colored stones. Did some yard work, worked on our # DarkMatter book, and caught up on # HisDarkMaterials . Looking forward to the extra day off tomorrow, too! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/217dec929ae97d1d95334af377c46b6d014b0658ddc7204f24d6fd2b2bbd9181/view

   From ec_euclid@astrodon.social on Mastodon: Another feature that you can see in # ESAEuclid 's first images: What are these? Satellite streaks 🛰️? Asteroids ☄️? Superwoman (or Superman) 🦸🏽 ? No, much smaller: these are traces by # CosmicRays ⚡, hitting # Euclid 's # VIS and # NISP detectors directly, depositing energy and electric charges in their pixels.

    It was an absolutely lovely day to # kayak on a lake in # Sudbury . $25 rental and a million dollars worth of peace. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/cd8f8ed70c6f17d6f28fc17ed70025448869aaa61ff4e9ae732c70c59aa05745/view

    From pfsmet@mastodon.social on Mastodon: The warmer an object, the more (infrared) radiation being emitted. This is detected by a thermal camera (typ. in the range from 3 to 14µm). Germanium is transparent for this IR (but not in the visible!), making it one of the materials used for # thermal camera # optics . # SummerOfPhysics 20/n

    From honeymango@c.im on Mastodon: Putting this out there, hoping the power of Mastodon works! My daughter just started community college and is looking for an entry level research lab role (she wants to do biochemistry). I don’t have any connections in this area but if anyone has any tips on how to get in, we’d be grateful for your help. Location: # SFBayArea Just a few extra words about my daughter. Without going into detail, she’s very passionate about finding cures for illnesses, a cause close to her heart ❤️ # biochemistry # STEM # ScienceJobs
