From StartsWithABang https://twitter.com/StartsWithABang on Twitter: Goodbye, DAMA/LIBRA: Worlds Most Controversial Dark Matter Experiment Fails Replication Test https://t.co/t1qzxQUfU4 If you were pinning your direct detection of dark matter hopes on DAMA, looks like you bet on the wrong horse. Keep going, ANAIS (and COSINE) collaboration(s)! -

This arrived today! It's still amazing to me how short the Higgs section is (e..g compared to Z or W) despite the decade of effort on that hard-to-observe particle. Here's to the decades ahead! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1367295472931586048/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/71196 -

Texas freeze killed winter produce, with some food prices expected to spike We support a local farmer with a subscription for delivery, and that farm lost all its outdoor hydroponic lettuce production. It is grim. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/02/26/texas-storm-produce-shortage/ -

It's likely that backlogs from the state have affected the 7-day case averages in the South. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1364726821225259012/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/71137
