Yesterday I ran into a desperate student from Nigerian who just arrived at campus. He was lost, did not wear enough layers and without a functional phone. As we see more international students arriving this year due to relieved travel ban, here are some helpful tips to help them-

I agree with Europe: Wearing medical-grade masks will be important to slow the spread of the B.1.1.7 strain. We have consistent evidence that single-layer cloth masks are not as effective as surgical masks, and N95 or KN95 masks are even better. washingtonpost.com/world/eur…

No yellow stars. The Sun and other mid G-class stars are really essentially white. Hotter stars are blue. Cooler stars are orange.

Attention, students and educators of physics, for this upcoming insightful opportunity:
Students: Register to join us on Feb. 11 for our Inspiring Future Women in Science event! Ask a particle physicist, aerospace engineer, oceanography student, and molecular biologist about the rewards and challenges of a career in science. #IDWGS hubs.ly/H0DSsGZ0

If you are at all interested in the Milky Way's spiral structure, you need to learn about OB associations. This is a great overview about what is known about them (especially Sco OB2, the closest - which some astronomers informally call Sco-Cen).
IMPRESSIVE REVIEW!!! "OB associations and their origins" by @nick_nwright arxiv.org/abs/2011.09483 "X-ray observations, spectroscopic surveys and astrometry from the #GaiaMission allows their full stellar content to be identified and their dynamics to be studied" #GaiaDR2

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

It's official! @UCMerced is the first public research uni in the country to be carbon neutral! Awesome efforts by @SustainUCMerced, verified by @theclimatereg, @LeadOnClimate. We're leading the way! bit.ly/36kTtt4 #co2emissions

Two weeks ago, a 12-year-old from Poland found a comet – making him probably the youngest person to discover a comet in history.
Here's how he did it, and what discoveries like this can teach us about the Solar System.

I just got out of giving a physics colloquium at Cal State Dominguez Hills @DHPhysicsClub hosted by Prof. @ximenaccid1 . It was a ton of fun to engage with their community.
I'd like to take a minute to gush over my dear friend, the amazing Ximena.
