The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab sees fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment performed at Brookhaven Lab. #gminus2 theory.fnal.gov/events/event/f…

This is now a g-2 meme thread

My colleague Jim Sethna has written a wonderfully modern, interdisciplinary, and *free* textbook on statistical mechanics. He explains the big ideas and includes many cool exercises and applications. pages.physics.cornell.edu/~sethna/StatMe…

"Oh cool, you're in research? Your lab must be so busy! What does a typical day of research look like?" Mathematicians:

Someone should have probably checked the focal length of the glass sphere before putting this lamp on the market. This is why physics matters people!! #iteachphysics

The audio recordings of the Feynman Lectures on Physics (1961-64) are now publicly available. Don't be discouraged by the quality of the recording of Lecture #1, which is damaged. The quality of the rest is pretty good. feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/flptapes.html

Ok fixed it now! Really this time... (HT Will Kinney, and inspired to fix it by Magnus Borgh and @RikardEnberg)

Have we done this one

I tested positive for COVID this week, along with 9 of 12 fully vaxxed friends (among others), days after we attended an outdoor wedding (that required proof of vaccination) in 1 of the lowest-risk states in the country. 1/5

I put this question on exam. Some students were grateful while others were confused because it is so open-ended. Will have to work on the wording for next year. (This idea comes from somebody else on Twitter, but I don't remember who.)

I am a masters student at IISER Mohali working on the Himalayan alpine ecology and TEK. I have built a website to put together my current projects and research interests. amishdua.com Do check it out and feedback is welcome. #Ecology #AcademicTwitter #alpine #Biology

6000 tweets for the verified kings under the sky. 600 for the unverified lords in their halls of stone. 300 for the newly unverified, doomed to die. No limit for the Dark Lord Elon on his dark throne. In the land of twitter where the shadows lie.
