Black-and-white portrait of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, 1903. She is seated in a chair, wearing a dark dress with a light, patterned collar, resting her head on one hand and looking directly at the camera. public domain

Lise Meitner around 1906 in Vienna. She is wearing a long dress and a hat, standing among large plants and looking to the side. public domain

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday, trailblazers! ✨

I have mixed feelings about that. If scientific papers are about the most accurate understanding of nature then citing later papers seems a good thing. Bjorken first proposed jet quenching in a never published and incorrect paper. Does he really deserve the credit in every jet paper?

First Oxygen Ion collisions at LHC | Aleksas Mazeliauskas July 2-5, 2025, I made a short but memorable trip to CERN, where—for the first time in its history—the LHC collided oxygen ions.

Hegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readiness The move blindsided the State Department, Ukraine, European allies and members of Congress, who demanded an explanation from the Pentagon.

Very excited to share our new paper “Solving the QCD effective kinetic theory with neural networks” (arxiv.org/abs/2506.19632)

QCD kinetic theory simulations are used to simulate the early stages of heavy-ion collisions, during which a plasma of quarks and gluons is created.

Some European countries and Canada issue advisories for travelers to the U.S. The advisories come after some citizens from European countries and Canada have been detained and deported by immigration officials while traveling to the United States.
