We are hiring a PhD student working on analysis of CMS Run 3 data with focus on the search for Higgs boson pair production through decays of heavy resonances in final states with multiple b quarks, and work on detectors for the CMS upgrade. More info: v22.desy.de/e67416/recor...

Had a brilliant time discussing the claims that biosignature gases may have been found in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b with exoplanetary scientist @distantworlds.space These claims appear to be very premature. Want to know more? Link: youtu.be/4d1WhtUiCRg 🧪⚛️

Sam's science comedy breakdowns are brilliant; certainly a much needed guilty pleasure in the insanity of anti-science aggression by the most idiotic forces.

This week, I had the honour of winning a tiny fraction of the #breakthroughprize for fundamental #physics alongside some amazing former colleagues. Here are some thoughts and why it is fantastic to see large collaborations receiving recognition. ⚛️🧪 Link: youtube.com/watch?v=hBJXvAOMnmM

Honoured to share a tiny fraction of the science #BreakthroughPrize with dozens of amazing former colleagues. Being part of the brilliant LHCb collaboration was an incredible experience and privilege and the scientists involved taught me more than I can ever explain. Thank you! ⚛️🧪

Great discussion with @theorydad.bsky.social, Jenny List & @koppenburg.ch on the potential future of particle physics and the pros and cons of future machines. Particle physicists need to form a clear consensus in the next year to drive the field forward. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=wr3Xbnr0UD8 ⚛️🧪

Why do rapidly spinning objects often look like they're spinning slowly or even backwards? ⚔️ This is the phenomenon of "aliasing". Some cameras record video at a frame rate that's too slow to reconstruct the true motion of an object. ⏩ ⚛️🧪 Check it out: youtube.com/shorts/EjnqJ7GTeaU

Lab leak promoters have been following the Twitter Files playbook for more than a year now, constantly screaming “LEAKED SECRET FILES PROVE COLLUSION!!!” when the actual ‘leaks’ disprove their point

I’ve now been asked about the USDA H5N1 action plan quite a few times, so maybe I should say a few things about it. There are a few things I like about it, more things I don’t, and some things about it that are completely WTAF. This is the 5 step plan:

Not gonna link to or rebut the lab origin opinion in this morning's NYT. It's just the same old stuff rehashed again. Instead I briefly counted any misleading articles I could find that were supportive or uncritical of a lab origin. I found 324 articles since Mar 2020. The median month had 3.
