If Trump gets a Nobel, it will have the effect of lowering the energy level of all electrons in the universe to below the ground state, causing an instantaneous collapse of the wavefunction that binds together the fabric of reality so that it unravels & twists itself into an as-yet-unknown topology.

Me haz discovered new quantum concept. It called Schrodinger's Terminator. It like Wigner's Pal, except cooler. I can has Noble Prize? If not, then you know my response.

One good thing about the Halloween season this year: lots of fake horror to distract us from the real horror happening out there right now!

He later made a cameo on the show of the same name and won a million dollars on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?", proving decisively that he was by obliterating the little brat in the process, perhaps his proudest moment. OK, I made that last part up. You never know.
RIP many, many Smoots away!!

After earning an MIT PhD himself, he became a postdoc researcher under the legendary Luis Alvarez at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He went on to study the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background, not Color Me Badd) using satellites to confirm the Big Bang Theory, for which he won the Nobel Prize.

Berkeley: George Smoot, Nobel Laureate Who Helped Confirm The Big Bang, Dies At 80 George Fitzgerald Smoot III, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose experiments about space provided some of the most convincing evidence that the universe began with a Big Bang, died on Sept. 18 in...

The Smoot Operator himself, George Smoot, also recently passed. Not only a celebrity Nobel prize-winning physicist, but also a unit of measure made famous by a distant relative. All good MIT students know the Smoot unit that was used to measure the Harvard Bridge distance between Cambridge & Boston

Jane Goodall, Trailblazing Primatologist and Chimpanzee Conservationist, Has Died The anthropologist was famous for her pioneering research with chimpanzees and her influence on conservation

Rest well, Jane Goodall.

Whoa, 'Alien: Earth' is sooo good. The 4 new species should be interesting, especially "Species 64", T. Ocellus (octo-eyeball). But I did not anticipate the long-awaited return of Michigan J. Chestburster.

Beavers were welcomed back to the Netherlands.

I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding. The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

No need to ask, he's a unitary operator....

Unitary Operator.

How easy is it to fudge your scientific rank? Meet Larry, the world’s most cited cat “Exercise in absurdity” reveals flaws in Google Scholar’s productivity metrics

Larry Richardson appeared to be an early-career mathematician with potential, racking up more than 130 citations in 4 years.

It would all be rather remarkable—if the studies weren’t complete gibberish. And if Larry wasn’t a cat. #InternationalCatDay scim.ag/4lg3wTp
