"Failure as a Teachers Aid" Any person with a minimum sufficient experience in life has been rewarded with failure. A subset of those people, with sufficient practice, will come to recognize failure, not as a friend, but as a teacher. A recent useful (and ultimately harmless) failure in my class became a key teaching moment, and may serve as a ⦠Continue reading "Failure as a Teacherâs Aid" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2019/04/04/failure-as-a-teachers-aid/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: The youngest person awarded a Nobel Prize in the sciences (so far) - Lawrence Bragg was born #OnThisDay in 1890. Together with his father William Bragg, he was awarded the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discoveries within the scientific field of X-ray crystallography. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1112256214921035776/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/56445 -

That moment when you're like "Oh, an anaconda2 directory... I don't need that any more" and you delete it and are then reminded you had this crucial thing that depended on it/python2 and it is now broken and you have to reinstall anaconda2. Sigh. -

It is a beautiful day at Fondren Science Building. Perfect for hanging a bowling ball from the ceiling and letting it swing at my face. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1110541244369915904/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/56327 -

From ben_j_lindsay https://twitter.com/ben_j_lindsay on Twitter: One of the most underrated #Pandas functions in #Python is `.query()`. I use it all the time. data = data.query('age==42') looks so much nicer than: data = data[data['age'] == 42] And it allows chaining like: data = data.query('age >18').query('age < 32') -

From felix_led https://twitter.com/felix_led on Twitter: "The current state of (deep) learning theory is a bit like physics in the early 20th century - they had a classical theory, a lot of weird results from experiments, and no convincing theory (=quantum mechanics) yet to explain them." - Lenka @zdeborova #machine19 https://twitter.com/felix_led/status/1108432492686508032/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/56174 -

While the Presidents budget is always a fantasy and this one is DOA, nonetheless federal agencies have to plan using this proposal until Congress actually passes a budget. Thus it is imperative the Congressional budget process proceeds effectively. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2019/03/19/trumps-budget-slashes-science-heres-what-would-be-lost/?noredirect=on -

There is real joy in multiplying the Sun's surface temperature, raised to the 4th power, by the Stefan-Boltzmann constant; or dividing the power output of the sun by its surface area; then seeing for yourself those numbers are nearly identical.

I am very happy when I get to spend time talking with students about physics. Thanks to the graduate and undergraduate students who made that possible today. Your curiosity keeps me on my mental toes, constantly thinking about the universe from a different perspective. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1106316220352159744/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55934
