Highlighting a book a day for #BlackHistoryMonth. For 2/21 - @chanda.bsky.social's "Disordered Cosmos" - a brilliant book, seeking truths about science and the world, unwilling to hide from reality. Physics, cosmology, and academia can't be great until they become part of a liberatory future.

We scientists need to up our game in communicating what we do as it helps to be able to describe your work lucidly to reviewers and the public. But professional science communicators need to come to the forefront too. What is happening in the USA is undermining all the good that you do.

This agrees with other studies I have seen. Physics is different than most other sciences. Fewer women choose to study physics in the first place. 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ 🧪 🎢

💡⚛️🧪 New LiDAR tech offers superior spatial resolution, which could improve monitoring in challenging conditions: bit.ly/3Ev3QOy The single-photon time-of-flight depth system measures the time it takes for a laser pulse to travel from the system to an object and back again to calculate distance.

Happy #QuantumDay to all who celebrate! Max Planck submitted work on blackbody radiation to the German Physical Society #OTD in 1900. His novel “quantum hypothesis” suggested that matter emits and absorbs light with frequency f only in discrete chunks of energy E=hf. 🧪 ⚛️ (1/n) Image: AIP

Jocelyn Bell Burnell transformed astronomy #OTD in 1967 when she made the first observation of a pulsar. She and advisor Antony Hewish initially dubbed the object LGM-1 (“Little Green Men”) for its regular signal, but soon identified it as a rotating, magnetized neutron star. (1/n) 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

As someone who sits on the interface between science policy and making things happen in 🇨🇦 quantum, a key takeaway from #CSPC2024 is that the general public needs to hear more about longitudinal successes in quantum technologies #SciPol 🧪⚛️
