It has been 10 years since the discovery of the Higgs boson. I shared my recollections of that day, as well as perspectives on the meaning and implications of the discovery, in our book "Reality in the Shadows" w/ Frank Blitzer and @Dr_JimGates https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Shadows-What-Hecks-Higgs/dp/1936411393/

This report from the AIP is worth several reads. It is especially helpful as a guide for people to understand why certain behaviors (put downs, implicit assumptions, etc) are negative and can easily cross into harassment: https://www.aip.org/statistics/reports/exploring-harassment-and-discrimination-experiences-astronomy

1. Ancient footprints in New Mexico raise questions about when humans inhabited North America
  
  When humans first populated North America and how they arrived has long been a matter of spirited debate. A recent study detailing what archeologists believe are the oldest known footprints in the United States is sparking new questions and upending long-held beliefs. Stephanie Sy reports.

1. Final FY22 Science Budgets Fall Short of Aspirations
  
  All science agencies will receive budget increases through the final appropriations agreement for fiscal year 2022, though they are generally below the ambitious amounts initially proposed and less than the current elevated rate of inflation. Some supplementary funding proposals remain pending.

2. First evidence for off-shell production of the Higgs boson and measurement of its width
  
  The first evidence for off-shell Higgs production is reported in the final state with two Z bosons decaying into either four charged leptons (muons or electrons), or two charged leptons and two neutrinos, and a measurement of the Higgs boson width is performed. Results are based on data from the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 140 fb$^{-1}$. The total rate of off-shell Higgs boson production beyond the Z boson pair production threshold, relative to its standard model expectation, is constrained to the interval [0.0061, 2.0] at 95% confidence level. The scenario with no off-shell production is excluded at 99.97% confidence level (3.6 standard deviations). The width of the Higgs boson is extracted as $Γ_{\mathrm{H}}$ = 3.2$_{-1.7}^{+2.4}$ MeV, in agreement with the standard model expectation of 4.1 MeV. The data are also used to set new constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings to W and Z boson pairs.
