Did you tell students that you’d be issuing your take home final on BlueSky?!? Will they be submitting their responses here, too?

In case you are interested - tune in live to watch the hearing at the WI legislature on nuclear energy

Reminds me of the time I made an input file template for modeling a fuel assembly with a variable “ass_gap” to give to students

I do this too - but I have a grading rubric for the concepts I want to see and it really shows who understands vs who is just scanning for formulae to do homework

I didn’t see “wrong answers only” in the instructions??

TFW you find your WI self in NYC when the Brewers are in town for opening day at Yankee stadium (and don’t care)

It is taking all my concentration to not lay hands on the computer driving this workshop that has not maximized the Zoom screen for the remote presentations....

Opinion | Canadians Know Americans. They Don’t Want to Be One. (Gift Article) Donald Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state. Canadians have a lot to say about that.

This captures things pretty succinctly...

Looks like the Steelers?

I know it’s not the point, but I literally thought that Noah & Putnam were making hot dish while conducting the interview until I scrolled to the photos 🤣

Maybe monoatomic graphite? Or monoatomic coal?

Monoatomic graphite? Monoatomic coal?

Good to keep those electoral muscles limber!

This is a great program and I'm excited to see my students participating to share their work more broadly

NYT headline that gives some credence to false Trump claims about fentanyl traffic from Canada, from linked article

Quote from linked article providing evidence about how insignificant the smuggling of fentanyl from Canada is

This headline should simply be “Less than 1% of fentanyl is smuggled across the Canadian border, despite Trump lies.”

And maybe don’t bury the lede…

Thanks to @nuclearkatie.com for teaching me so much about state-level approaches to safeguards and how our Cyclus software can support those needs. Her diverse interests and leadership drive are sure to translate into a career of leadership in nuclear science and technology.

While an immediate funding freeze is a blunt instrument that impacts a wide swath of people from many backgrounds, I can’t help but wonder if the impacts are more concentrated in institutions/organizations and their workforces that are less aligned with the new administration - #itsafeaturenotabug

Concerning to see that some of our WI representative support this as a “responsible move”

Opinion | Surprise! The media just discovered Bidenomics works. Trump is getting a strong economy. If only the media had explained the Biden economic achievements.
