MicroBooNE Did you know that the MicroBooNE collaboration was the first major particle physics experiment to have two women spokespeople? The project to build the detector was also led by women (project manager, deputy PM, and integration engineer). #WomenInSTEM

Remember the story of Matt Hancock and Alex Bourne, the publican turned medical equipmemt supplier, a photo of whose pub Mr Hancock kept on his office wall?

Big news! Major milestone reached! The second, and last, wire plane has been installed! You can see the 2 wire planes on each sides with the cathode in-between. Thank you to the incredible team of people whom have made this possible throughout the years! #neutrino #sbnd #fermilab

Check out #4! MicroBooNE had a record year with 23 new papers in 2021. All pioneering work being done by our amazing students, postdocs, faculty, and scientists in a very challenging year.

Busy and fun day today! At 11:00 CT, Bonnie Fleming (Yale) and Pedro Machado (Fermilab) are speaking about big questions in particle physics! indico.fnal.gov/event/52285/

Welcome to Matt! He joins our other spokesperson Justin Evans as we move into our analysis phase making even more detailed measurements of neutrinos.

Can confirm that the jet lag was worth it

The new #Wboson mass value shows tension with the value scientists expect based on the Standard Model. If confirmed, this measurement suggests the potential need for improvements to the Standard Model calculation—or extensions to the model.

Last week many of our researchers attended #IOPHEPPAPP2022 - the first big in-person event for many in over two years. Thanks to IOPHEPP and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory for hosting such a great event. Here's a round-up of some of the great talks/posters by Cambridge University researchers...

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter. So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out) (long 🧵)

And that's a wrap on DUNE collaboration week. So much progress, new people, and new institutions. Can't wait to see where we go from here. See you in Manchester! #dunescience #collaborationweek

Workshop at Universität Bern LHEP on physics to be done with a prototype (2x2) neutrino Experiment at Fermilab.

10 more days to join the petition! Please share your voice for the future of Fermilab! reopenfermilab.com

Triantis began his journey with the DUNE project by crisscrossing the State of South Dakota at least a dozen times. He has taken thousands of photos of the people and places along the path of the future beamline. symmetrymagazine.org/article/life-a…

The case against Israel for the crime of genocide is absolutely devastating. It's been filed by South Africa, and it presents a terrifying body of evidence to justify the claim. I've gone through the document to explain what it says - and why the world must know about it.

The prototype of a novel particle detection system for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment successfully recorded its first accelerator neutrinos! 🙌 news.fnal.gov/2024/08/dune-s…

Congratulations to MicroBooNE collaborator Karolina Wresilo of Cambridge High Energy Physics Group for winning the US National Lab Physics Slam in the Scientific Discovery category, explaining how neutrinos can explain the origins of the Universe.
