Surrealist painting by René Magritte, Man in a Bowler Hat (1964), depicting a man in a suit and bowler hat whose face is obscured by a white dove, seemingly frozen in mid-air as if time had stopped.

Did I tell yall that I ended up winning a book scholarship thing that let me buy this textbook

I also have conducted mock interviews, we do resume/CV edits, and this past fall I had a NSF GRFP working group that I found super helpful. I would love to help students apply to fellowships like this in addition to grad school. Please stop by!

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

Advertising this here: I have a physics discord server! I post research opportunities like REUs & scholarships for undergrads & grads. As a first-gen student, I thought it was super hard to find these resources, so I thought this would make it easier! discord.gg/AS3F7RH

A projection on the outside of the Old North Church reading "Let the WARNING ride forth ONCE MORE: TYRANNY is at OUR DOOR"

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone ). The tweet reads: "RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. ALZHEIMERS. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He’s not interested. He’s a nasty piece of work."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

‘Braindrain’ uit de VS: Demir wil dat universiteiten hun deuren openzetten voor Amerikaanse wetenschappers Nu steeds meer wetenschappers de VS overwegen te verlaten wegens het repressieve beleid van Donald Trump, zien Europese universiteiten hun kans om talent binnen te halen.

This is a good plan - opening Belgian universities up to academics who want to leave the US - but the money has to follow. www.demorgen.be/nieuws/brain...

Is $150 bucks a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a textbook I really want

"hidden origins" its on wikipedia

Book cover

I’ve just finished this, perhaps the clearest and most readable book on cosmology I’ve ever read.

Highly recommended.

More illustrations would have been nice, so a profusely illustrated version is clearly called for!

If you’re in Philly and want to get more involved with protecting our immigrant neighbors (regardless of immigration status), the New Sanctuary Movement has been fighting on this front since 2007.

They have upcoming trainings and other opportunities so please subscribe to their newsletter

can you tell that nuclear pasta is one of my favorite topics 🍜

When my research group found out "polarization" was on the list of banned "DEI" words, we realized that we as an AMO lab might be fucked

Heard of an engineering scholar who had their funding cut because they study "polarization" of light. So stupid.

Are you a microbiologist looking to move to Alaska? There is an opening for a microbiologist in a clinical lab in Bethel. Only requires a BS. Please share with your networks, they really need to hire someone ASAP.

Pet peeve: I hate how often ppl claim “all the researchers will just move to Europe/Canada!” You vastly under-estimate how little money there is there vs the USA- and unless that changes ASAP this loss is just going to decimate global science, full stop. 🧪🔭

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

If we followed eachother on the other site can you let me know? I've lost track of everyone so fast
