On behalf of @CenterForAstro, @JCherston and I proposed a 2025 @sxsw panel about how humans make big scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century!
It's currently up for voting, ft. @Convergent_FROs, @mjrieke, and @starstrickenSF! please vote for us here: panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/15…
I've started a project called CycleToScience, which catalogs bike routes to epic scientific sites. Join us on instagram & twitter :) instagram.com/cycletoscience… xitter.cf/cycletoscience

The supermassive black hole in the Milky Way’s center, seen in this new image released today by the Event Horizon Telescope (@ehtelescope), has a strong magnetic field spiraling around its edge, hinting that a jet might shoot out from it.

No one today would accept a plan to build a massive overpass through a beautiful park and completely sever the link between the Emerald Necklace and the river. We shouldn’t accept a 90+ million dollar plan to rebuild one either.

There are more attoseconds in a second than there are seconds in the age of the universe.
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”

Using quantum clouds in space to explore the quantum realm… New Cold Atom Lab hardware that recently arrived at @Space_Station will enable researchers to study more atoms at even colder temps—and could lead to new breakthroughs in quantum technologies.
The coolest place in Earth orbit is getting an upgrade 😎
The Cold Atom Lab, a quantum science lab aboard the @Space_Station, makes it easier to study atoms in ways that aren't possible on Earth. The upgrade will expand our research of the quantum realm: go.nasa.gov/3OLtCkw
ALT A rectangular white metal box is shown on top of a steel table. The box contains the label "Cold Atom Lab" to the far right of it, next to one of two white handles. To the left of the box is an indentation with room for three knobs of small to larger sizes, a rectangular vent with a "caution" label on top and then two larger knobs in silver and black right underneath. At the very bottom on the left side of the metal box is a sticker with an atom illustration in various shades of blue and the words "CAL Cold Atom Lab" in white.

Just as it did decades ago, UFO fever today indicates that Americans feel that their government knows more than it’s letting on, @marinakoren writes. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

"The monstrous denizens of the intergalactic deep reveal themselves not through the light they emit, but by how they stir the space-time we share. When a gravitational wave moves through you, you are, for a moment, a different shape" washingtonpost.com/opinions/… by me @washingtonpost
BEST ELI15 description out there of the recent Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Detection comes from PhDComics for APS. Check it out!
Today's groundbreaking gravitational-wave discovery explained in pictures by @PHDcomics. Congrats to @NANOGrav @EPTAGW @InPTA_GW @CSIRO_ATNF and the Chinese Pulsar Timing Array. physics.aps.org/articles/v16…

Not every day we get a Nobel prize worthy physics announcement !
The news is out! The @NANOGrav pulsar timing array collaboration has detected a background of cosmic gravitational waves rippling through our Universe! Let’s talk about it!
(Full press conference tomorrow, nanograv.org/news/2023Announ…)

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 Major milestone on Ocean Avenue! 🚧🚧 A sturdy concrete median barrier has been added to the protected bikeway, enhancing safety for cyclists to enjoy a smooth and secure ride. 🚲🚲 We are amazed by the concrete 3D Printer! 🌊💙

MIT commencement speech tomorrow 😬. I’m not promising my graduation hat isn’t gonna fly away 400ft into the air at the end :)
major scientific facilities should be treated like cultural sites. They should have extensive public access, and opportunities for meaningful and fun experiences!
Recently @Fermilab has increased access restrictions for employees, visiting scientists, and the public. A new petition with ~2500 signatures says the policies "are dismantling the very features that have defined Fermilab to the public for decades." pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/on…
