Can we still spend this on transportation? @KatjBallantyne @jake4somerville @JudyForWard7 @bgm_ward5 @BenForWard3 wbur.org/news/2021/11/18/gre…

Heartbroken. Once in high school I got the privilege to meet the Justice. Found out her favorite ice cream flavor was pistachio. Let’s all have a bowl of pistachio ice cream this weekend to remember this legend.

Start following a bunch of infectious disease MDs and epidemiologist and Twitter is starting to think I am an oncologist. Or it’s AI is all knowing about my yet undiagnosed leukemia.

Feeling a bit more positive reading about different Covid-19 vaccine clinical trials starting and then had the grim realization of how soon after we get a Covid-19 vaccine do we have to deal with Covid anti-vaxers?

Science goes on, as best as it can. Here's the writeup from the meeting on challenges in QCD I attended at Lund University last summer. Very productive discussions with @AleksasMaz @MarkFMace @cbierlich (and many not on Twitter of course!). Preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2003.10997

Much of what’s being sold as "AI" today is snake oil. It does not and cannot work. In a talk at MIT yesterday, I described why this happening, how we can recognize flawed AI claims, and push back. Here are my annotated slides: cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/ta…

Fellow academics: please remember to be cautious of using the terms "easy," "simple," and "trivial" when describing physics concepts and/or problems. Physics may come easy to some people, but not to others.
🇫🇮 Today is Independence Day here in Finland! 🇫🇮 The big event of the day is the Presidential reception, this year's theme being "Our Shared Environment". Refreshing to be somewhere where this is taken seriously... vox.com/policy-and-politics/…

Post-travel/back to work blues are definitely reduced when you have a new computer to set up (and then use).
One way to make America great: also have ground level rear plane deboarding. This is done all over Europe with no massive chaos. Sometimes the 20 or so minutes waiting for people to get bags together and deplane is more painful than the flight.

What in the world is a gluon soup, and how is it related to nuclear physics? But most importantly, can we experiment with it? Find out in this week’s post on Many Body Physics!

Exciting new results on short range nuclear correlations. May be relevant for stars... and even heavy ion collisions?

Officially turned in my PhD thesis (yay!). However, to retain the rights for MY thesis, I had to pay $95 to some company called UMI/ProQuest. What gives @stonybrooku? Shouldn’t they pay me to take the rights if I choose to do so? I see zero value in what they’re doing at all 1/n

Has anyone in physics in the last 20 years actuallly made any royalties on a thesis? I highly doubt it. Who’d pay when it’s all free. I’d like to know if anyone makes money ever. Or are they just filling their pockets with people like me who want to post their thesis online? 3/n
