Good enough, AI. Good enough.

Staff and students of @UNSWPhysics and @UNSWPhysoc practicing for the staff v student quidditch match next week. No contest … 😬.

Physics staff v students quidditch match! Are we really doing this @PhDixonOz ?

What did I just press?!

I hear these things come in a digital version nowadays. 🤔 Should probably look into that.

❤️ lab days.

Cleans all surfaces, you say? 🤨

Wait, what? Solar power generated at night! Tell me more. Great work @EkinsNed, @LaserMikeN and Team! newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/sc…

Public shaming? Certainly looks that way. sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/n…

Pimping out our old Optical Time Domain Reflectometry experiment (90s vintage from Newport) for the UNSW Physics Higher Year Teaching Lab. So cool. Now more pimp than … 🤔 … not pimp?

Ti:sapphire laser all tuned up. Time for a little retro-gaming!

UNSW Physics hard rubbish day! Must … resist … my inner womble.

Possibly my favourite student feedback comment of all time 🤣 … “Emanates the energy of a golden retriever while also being world weary so its hard to hate him. Always provides very useful feedback and genuinely shows care for his students.”

We are making chaotic circuits at home for our Physics Lab elective subject (lockdown edition). Last week’s fun challenge: make some chaotic art. Here is the winner! A strangely attractive rose garden 😉. Well done, Rhianna!

Working-from-home with added homeschooling simulator.

Lovely moon halo over the 🥶 Blue Mountains tonight.

Does anyone remember when they made helium neon lasers in Queensland?! I certainly don’t. And check out that retro “Australian Made”logo with the boomerang. What a beauty! That puts it pre 1986, probably 1982. And it still works!! Now that’s proper quantum technology.

Damn! Missed it by that much.

Sitting on train at Sydney Central for 1.5 hours waiting to leave for the Blue Mountains. #nightmarecommute. Where is that drinks trolley?!

Nice little editorial piece from a 1974 issue of The Australian Physicist. If only they knew what the future held ... 🤯🤯🤯
