My mother sent me a New Jersey care package. Luckily the laundry and tan notes are much more pronounced than the gym ones.

I'm at a wedding for one of my students and I think this might be the first time the phrase "internal reference frame" has been used in a wedding vow.

Its finals weel and I went into an unused lab room to watch trash TV while I grade and students just started coming in and sitting down and studying and asking me things. Next time I silently grade in a dark room.

This government is going to ensure that the NSF follows its mission to "to foster scientific progress, improve national health and prosperity, and safeguard our nation’s security" by...checks notes...ending programs that help ALL AMERICANS participate in STEM. 😠🤮 www.nsf.gov/edu/updates/...

They’re making sure to get the Vatican national anthem some spins here because they know there’s no way any of the Cardinals are winning the 110m hurdles at the Olympics

TIL the Vatican had a marching band and I didn't expect the popening to sound line a small town USA July 4th parade.

Proof that it's not all in my head and, yes, I probably take on too much.

For those in the physics (and STEM) education sphere, one of my favorite FREE resources had it's funding cancelled by the NSF because this government hates 1) education and 2) equity and access to educational resources. Consider donating to sustain PhET! I just did! phet.colorado.edu

Now this is the type of cultural indoctrination in our schools that I can get behind.

Me as soon as my talk is done at a conference. Credit to @elysegraham.bsky.social for using this as a quote in her book and to Goethe, I guess.

Reflecting on this trip, I really am inspired by a lot of the conversation about the convergence of science and the humanities. But my proudest moment was being told I was recommended for the event because I am a known "talkative scientist."

During two days of dialog with some amazing archeologist, art historians, and even an archeogeneticist (!), I've realized how much of my approach to teaching and thinking about physics is informed by my own education in the humanities and I feel like a humanities person that does physics!

Spending two days in a medieval studies library in Czechia, talking about science and the humanities. This is one of the more surreal things I've been invited to do so far in my career!

April 1st is one of my favorite STEM days each year because it's when April Fools papers come out on the archive. While I am not sure what can beat my favorite, the Soup-Salad-Sandwich phase diagram, there are some solid ones you can find collected here: www.reddit.com/r/Physics/co...

Coming from someone who finds AI to be a black box, William Ratcliffe in ACC 155 is doing a great job showing how it can be a useful tool to inform experimental studies I am getting convinced that maybe I shouldn't be as skeptical with AI as I thought! #APSSummit25

Really coming in to my Full Professor powers as I wear a free vendor swag shirt to the conference I got it at. To be fair, it's a pretty great Grand Theft Auto inspired design. #APSSummit25 Check out the ICEoxford booth and their cool quantim computer set ups, both lifesize and Lego!
