How I sleep now that I don’t have anymore homework and the quarter is *finally* done.

Yesterday, my advisor said, ‘You should start thinking about the story you want to tell in your thesis and how your PhD will come to a close.’

Wait… what? My time as a PhD student is actually ending?!

Photographer Captures Dazzling Images Inside The Main Ring of the Australian Synchrotron An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron's path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.

The Sound of Science: A Special concert at the ESRF
One year ago, Paganini’s favourite and renowned violin, Il Cannone, was brought to the ESRF for an exceptional scan on BM18.

To celebrate the anniversary of this analysis, Maestro Luca Fanfoni performed a stunning concert for ESRF staff.

Whether we like it or not, science and politics are deeply intertwined.
Expecting scientists to refrain from political discourse not only undermines the societal impact of their work and neglects the ethical responsibilities inherent in their scientific endeavours...

PhD scientists who forged a career off the beaten track These seven scientists escaped big-city life after completing their PhDs. Here’s how they make it work.

Nature interviewed scientists who chose to complete their PhDs off the beaten path about the reasons they chose to work away from big-city life and how they make it work. #Academicsky 🧪

This is a disaster, and will be particularly bad after a weather disaster. People will die and there will be vast economic costs from this. It's not about saving taxpayers' money. It's about disassembling the government.

Undergraduate research opportunities are incredibly valuable, both for the students and for the progress of the work. And having undergraduate research experience is a massive help for grad school admission. REU cancellations harm students’ preparedness & career prospects, and slow research progress

My REU was the first time I had the chance to immerse myself in full-time research—it showed me that I was capable of pursuing a PhD and solidified my passion for science. Every young scientist deserves that kind of transformative experience.

How Noether’s Theorem Revolutionized Physics | Quanta Magazine Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics.

Symmetry, the beauty, of the Universe uncovered by Emmy Noether [via Quanta Magazine] 🧪⚗️➕✖️⭐

"[She] discovered that #conservation laws aren’t fundamental axioms of the #universe... they emerge from deeper #symmetries."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stand Up For Science 2025 Announces National Day of Action: March 7, 2025 WHAT: A rally to defend science as a public good and central pillar of social progress. WHY: Science is for everyone–and benefits everyone. When the federal government supports scientific research through taxpayer funding, it fuels innovation, creates jobs, and sustains the world we live in. From purified water to the polio vaccine to the cell phone you might be reading this on, science has significantly impacted our lives in countless ways. We’re mobilizing to keep science free from interference and censorship by government officials. We’re also mobilizing because attacks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are attacks on science, and vice versa. Science is at its best when it includes everyone and when it stands to improve people’s lives. It’s time–as ever–to stand up for science, for everyone who does it, and for everyone who benefits from it. WHO: Everyone! If your life is better because of science, this rally is for you. WHERE: Washington, DC & state capitals nationwide WHEN: March 7, 2025 Forthcoming details about local rallies: www.standupforscience2025.org Press contact: standupforscience2025@gmail.com

Sent a DM the other day like "Yeah, I'll help!" and now I'm co-authoring press releases for an honest-to-god nationwide science protest, like WHAT

Coat of arms of the Royal Society, which has the motto "nullius in verba," meaning take nobody's word for it.

6/8. In science, and in institutions of learning like colleges and universities, there is a shared understanding that edicts should not go unquestioned—that we all have a duty to systematically investigate the world around us and to interrogate claims about it. We do not simply obey.

States need to increase their support for research (or start supporting it if they aren't already) and give preference to research that is being blacklisted by the federal government.

four by six array of images. The top two rows are labelled A, B, ... L. Each image is of a collection of simple shapes, such as four identical circles displaced uniformly horizontally. The lower two rows are Fourier intensity diffraction patterns, labelled 1, 2, ... 12.

In this week’s Fourier Optics course we shall be looking at diffraction from 2D apertures.
A quiz to test your understanding of the array theorem. Can you match the apertures to their Fraunhofer diffraction patterns?

Northwestern came out with their statement today
"We recommend that absent a written stop-work order or other written notice from a federal agency, Northwestern faculty, staff, students and postdocs who are supported by federal funding move forward with their normal work activities."
