   From CERN https://twitter.com/CERN on Twitter: Time has come to talk of #physics💫 Today, the LHC received the first 2023 stable beams at the record energy of 6.8 TeV – weeks after the first #BeamTime of the year, and after several weeks of getting the #LHC ready for chapter 2 of #LHCRun3. Stay tuned for more #physics news! https://twitter.com/CERN/status/1649472924166791174/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3fe552bffe8d9669042d034009aa2034364edf993de92a885cd33b1909ffdb27/view

   Really excited for today’s SNOLAB research student presentations. SNOLAB employs undergraduates in the research environment and does so in three major cycles: winter, summer, and fall. Today marks the culmination of the winter season, and I am really curious to see what they have discovered! # snolab # science # physics # astrophysics # undergroundscience # students # research

   Classy. This is why, despite churn in the tools, I have never regretted keeping my focus on the use of open, federated social media platforms. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/b0f29f7c885505ab6fc315cc71cf230f10ef6584cb0622fa9e941523cf4b559b/view

     in reply to

     @steve The learning objectives for my class say I have to talk about social networks. My students were somewhat shocked when I got into the current state of Twitter yesterday. The Pearson textbook the department picked is four years old and talks about it as a vibrant public square. I had to emphasize to them again that nothing is static in the world of computers.

    Wow. A very young Andy Serkis in season 1 of “Pie in the Sky” … and yet, those vocal and facial hallmarks that would become his iconic “Smeagol/Gollum” character are all there in plain sight … !

    Oh my God yes this. Turns out I inherited my philosophy for special lectures in my physics courses from Sommerfeld, who turns out to be my doctoral great great great great grandfather. https:// academictree.org/physics/tree. php?pid=462542 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/284755958017bb76dd40a5e60212a3e0deab2b45d994265545e124616e542fc2/view

    ... and, of course, "The Armed Man: Benedictus" is streaming on WQXR as I am reading this biography. Perfect. And heartbreaking. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/73da4af53511015a0e2c7832b0bd9023a951151990b0a19466d2794191909417/view

    I was pretty tired afterward, but I wanted to make sure I did a BIG shout out to the RASC Sudbury Centre for hosting me at their Friday monthly meeting. I tried to share some of the wonder of the cosmos by focusing on astronomy without light. What made the evening particularly special were the many and excellent questions from the participants! https:// sudburyastronomyclub.com/ # astronomy # physics # public # lecture
