I'm excited to have been selected as a #PAEMST finalist for Massachusetts! Thank you to Ariel Serkin, Jeremy Secaur, and johanna brown for the help with the application and to my supportive colleagues! This was a great end to the week and I am celebrating with some puzzle time!

There's nothing like trying to do a mix of virtual and in-person conferences when the internet is down. This is the longest outage we've had in a while.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/75e5e3d… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

We won! One of our two teams got 1st place in the Women of Science Competition 2023. Each of the three members of the team gets a $1000 scholarship. So excited for these science superstars!

There has never been a lesson I have reflected on more than the one in my #PAEMST video. I'm teaching that lesson again tomorrow and I'm feeling a lot of pressure to make it really good.

Physics people: AAPT is near me this summer, so I thought I should apply to present, but I've never been to AAPT, so I don't really understand the format. I've only ever presented at NSTA in 30-60 min sessions, but that doesn't seem like the way AAPT is set up.
