satisfying some philosophical cravings: Yale conference on inference and causation throughout the sciences! ➡️ Organized by Priyamvada Natarajan! YaleFrankeSci&Hum


What if we DON'T find dark matter!? 💥 On American public television, for the new NOVA | PBS documentary! 🤯 THANK YOU for the amazing responses everyone #pullingmyhairout


Beyond stoked with my new piece in Nature Review Physics Nature Reviews Physics!💫 How can we make physics experiments more sustainable?🌱You need experts from the humanities! w/ my friends Carlos Argüelles 🌈 Harvard Physics & Anncy Thresher Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability link: rdcu.be/dLuCJ ⭐

"The humanities can help make physics greener," according to MIT postdoctoral fellow Jaco de Swart. nature.com/articles/s4225… #thisismit #mitshass #mit MIT Physics #humanities #highereducation #mitphysics
