An ultra-high-vacuum chamber sitting on an optical table in a physics lab. The chamber is attached to a turbo pump and has been completely covered in aluminium foil for insulation during the bakeout.

Our space potato (aka the vacuum chamber) is toasty! Currently baking gently.

Kali stands in front of a large tree. She is looking upwards, at the top of the tree that is well out of the frame of the photo.
I recently enjoyed a trip to the US Pacific Northwest. Lots of excellent physics conversations at DAMOP2025 in Portland, and a focused workshop on compressible turbulence at the UW's Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle. Of course I also took some time to walk in an old-growth forest!

The Watcher beside Basilica of San Lorenzo - sculpture of a naked man with head tilted to the sky and pillars extending from his eyes skywards.
Korf17 in piazza del Duomo - a pair of statues of naked men wearing goggles and looking upwards.
Caught a few unexpected statues in Florence. I feel like these could spice up my next laser safety seminar.

The LGBTQ+ STEM Day logo (a stylized atom with the rainbow colors featuring in the external overlaps of the orbital ellipses) followed by LGBTQ+ STEM Day - and below the two versions of the hashtag #LGBTSTEMDAY or # LGBTQSTEMDAY and in between itβs written November 18. The background is a rainbow palette with a faint lattice structure.
Happy International Day of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM #LGBTQSTEMDay to all the brilliant folks in our community!
And here in the UK, itβs the 20th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28 so join us in saying #NeverAgain to state sanction bullying and ignorance.
