Putin has always feared democratic breakthroughs. Today, he is using his military to roll back Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity. Rumors are that he will even arrest those who led it. For the history, read this: journalofdemocracy.org/what-putin-fea… via Journal of Democracy

"Russians thought they knew their president. They were wrong.” The brilliant Anton Troianovski, NYT Moscow bureau chief, describes the shock in Russia over Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. nyti.ms/3shh5Kd

This is striking: Thousands of Russians protest Putin’s assault on Ukraine. Some chant: "No to war!” nyti.ms/3vv5BoD

Putin: saving people from genocide is main goal of military operation in Donbas / Reality: more civilians died in Donbas in the last five days than in the last five years. / Black is white and lie is truth in Putin’s Russia

When a scientist is invested in obtaining a specific result, the onus is on them to ensure that their data collection and analysis is as unbiased as possible. Yes I’m referring to you.

Next up is Synchrotron SESAME and their mug submitted by @M3wamleh. SESAME Aims to promote peace between Middle Eastern countries, choosing Jordan as it was then the only country that maintained diplomatic relations with all the founding members. it has a circumference of 133 metres.

Back to European donuts we have the European Synchrotron and their self submitted mug. ESRF is a 4th gen 6 GeV synchrotron with an 844 metre circumference ring and forty tangential beamlines. It also have some very nice views.

Our penultimate competitor is Synchrotron SOLEIL and their self submitted mug. The name SOLEIL is a backronym for Source optimisée de lumière d’énergie intermédiaire du LURE (LURE optimised intermediary energy light source)... Wow. It has a circumference of 354 metres.

Our final competitor is Sincrotró ALBA💡 and their mug submitted by Elizabeth Shotton. ALBA means sunrise in Catalan/Spanish. It's a third-generation 3GeV synchrotron light source in Barcelona housing 8 beamlines. it has a circumference of 270 metres.

Saturday night!

Statistical mechanics seems to be working again today
