This month's Physics Teacher has a piece on the Physics Show (doi.org/10.1119/5.02...)! It's great to see our model disseminated. @barnettdreyfuss.bsky.social tells her journey in the American Journal of Physics (doi.org/10.1119/5.03...). We came up in the same ecosystem, it was a joy to read.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

We've put away our equipment and cleaned the stage. Over the past two weeks we've done physics outreach shows for 10k+ members of the public and roughly 2500 kids from Title 1 schools.

Lots of school busses.

Second day of field trip shows for kids from Title 1 schools.

Today we hosted 800+ kids from Title 1 schools. Let your friends know they can support our science outreach work by buying tickets for our weekend performances. www.thephysicsshow.com

The Physics Show If you have never had fun with physics ... ... you haven't been to The Physics Show!

Silicon Valley folks, we will have Physics Show performances for the next two weekends. Tell your friends that they can get seats at www.thephysicsshow.com. Proceeds go towards bringing kids from Title 1 schools to our campus for fun science learning!

Giving blood. Please donate if you are able. #Give4Life

Very happy to see this. Fond memory of ud being sent to another room for too much talking during a new physics teachers workshop 20 years ago.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

Failure of reconstruction has no videos attached to the content.

Native American societies before contact has daily video 2 without daily video one. European exploration in America's has daily videos 2 and 3 with no #1.

Interactions between American Indians and Europeans is missing daily video one

Slavery in the British colonies is missing both daily videos one and two while still showing 3

College Board deleted vids for multiple classes on AP Classroom about issues dealing with American Indians, Slavery, Racism, and sexism. For APUSH the first two videos on Slavery in the British Colonies were deleted, videos on Native American societies and Euro conquest, and Reconstruction. #edusky

I'm glad that @aapthq.bsky.social is getting some art. Side note... Norton Dodge, son of AAPT's Homer Dodge, smuggled thousands of pieces of dissident art out of Soviet Russia, which is retold in John McPhee's "The Ransom of Russian Art." It's a quick, fun read.

Man giving blood.

The Physics Show If you have never had fun with physics ... ... you haven't been to The Physics Show!

We are doing a weekend of performances at the end of March. Tickets are at www.thephysicsshow.com. Same setlist as last Dec/Jan.

It's the #DayOfRemembrance. Over the past month I have thought often of my grandparents' lessons. They taught to resist, even if the odds are overwhelmingly against you. Comply when needed, but only when needed. Nurture and protect your communities. They survived, and so will we.

If there’s one truly American attitude it is fuck you, I wont do what you tell me and we must tap into it as never before

I highly recommend Julia Lee's "Biting the Hand: Growing Up Asian in Black and White America."

Everyone please check on your trans and immigrant friends they are very worried about tomato prices.

Amache Internment Camp page is down: www.nps.gov/amch/index.htm

This is where my family lived in World War II.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

For Fred Korematsu Day, a photo of Japanese-Americans in their Internment camp. They are meeting with the White businessman they hired to oversee their farms. My grandfather (marked) helped them form a collective and write the contract. Unlike most JA, they didn't lose their farms.

Organize.
