Preparing my 2025 Day of Light outreach lectures, I bought a glass sphere and made a rainbow. But I saw some odd things, and so hereโ€™s a thread with some photos and raytracing pictures. There may well be mistakes so tell me and I'll fix them. First the basic setup showing the primary bow.

This PhD student helped to win a major pay hike for Canadian researchers Kaitlin Kharas is part of Natureโ€™s 10, a list of people who shaped science in 2024.

Kaitlin Kharas is awesome. She became the โ€œface and voiceโ€ of a campaign to boost stagnant salaries for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers across Canada, and they won. #PhDStudents
