[Mark Thomson @ProfMarkThomson]

Held a fantastic #UKatCERN get together yesterday evening at @CERN, ahead of the #CERN70 celebrations next week. As always, good to catch up with @claranellist, @Sci_of_Steph and many other 🇬🇧 colleagues working at CERN.

@hywelowen This sounds like the precursor to the Trolley Problem. Are you sure it wasn't a Physics of Philosophy lesson?

[Patrick Meade @theory_dad]

Wow NY times coverage with the @MuonCollider featured prominently in the #p5report https://t.co/MBv9RIVEp4

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@hywelowen It's treatment to help you recover after having to study RF electronics

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@PhysWiz My favourite is finding papers from the 1980s that have already completed "that exciting and innovative new idea" you thought you came up with yourself last month

[Cari Cesarotti @caridoesphysics]

all my friends my age are having kids and buying houses but honestly if I’m going to invest 30 years of my time & money into something I’d really prefer a muon collider

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@TheGoodestBoi7 I noticed myself doing this, and have since been trying to end conversations with a "ta-ra" instead

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@TheGoodestBoi7 Especially being thrown off by all the ATLAS/CMS/Particle seekers that list their main interest as Accelerator Physics and Beam Optics, because they don't know that isn't HEP particle physics

@Haken_Official Elephants Never Forget was a fantastic surprise - every section was a different world!

Nightingale will always be no. 1 on the album. Epitome of the classic unique sound of Haken!

Academia: The system where extremely educated and specialised experts must beg for scraps of funding to attend things they actively dislike, despite having no time to do them.

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@FinitePhysicist Penguins haven't done anything to deserve this shame.

[the finite physicist @FinitePhysicist]

STOP DOING PARTICLE PHYSICS.

SMALL THINGS were not meant to be EXAMINED.

DECADES of collider experiments yet no real world use beyond protons and electrons.

"Yes please SYMMETRY BREAK the HIGGSINO. Please give me SU(5) apples" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

Ever had a design for an accelerator but then was like "The politics for that accelerator is too complicated, there's no funding that lets me invest time and energy in that" 🧲💀

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@MuonCollider Would love to buy! You may need to change the redbubble link in your bio 👉

The muon collider has finally arrived 💥💫

[Muon Collider @MuonCollider]

New to twitter, nice to meet μ!

[Vava protiv rata @particleist]

OK intermission over. The short story is that we discovered misidentified hadronic backgrounds which had not been taken into account in previous RK or RK* measurements. They affected the electron mode and pushed the results away from the Standard Model expectation.

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@Seeker No they didn't

[Taylor, R @AccelRTaylor]

@PhysWiz Underrated household pet.
Although it's important to feed your domesticated reactor responsibly.

Laser fusion time! 😎☀️☄️

[Tom Wilson @thomas_m_wilson]

SCOOP: Net energy gain in a fusion reaction has been a holy grail in science for decades. Now I’m told US scientists have done it. A massive breakthrough with revolutionary potential for clean power. US Energy Secretary to hold a press conference Tuesday https://t.co/aiyyRU3ehO
