Tonight, on @cbcideas, join neutrino hunter @BenofTam as he journeys deep underground at @SNOLABscience in search of the elusive "Ghost Particle!"
Story at 8 p.m.!

IS YOUR CHILD TEXTING ABOUT NEUTRINO PHYSICS?

LMAO = Lepton Mixing And Oscillation
WTF = What's The Flavor?
BRB = Bad, ROOT! Bad!
TFW = That Force is Weak
NP = Nobel Prize
SMH = Solve Mass Hierarchy, or Standard Model Higgs, depending on the context.

Nothing provokes a louder groan from physics students than "I will provide a table of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients", except possibly "I will not provide a table of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients".

@SNOLABscience Hats off to Nigel proving it’s never too old to be a student.

[Queen's University @queensu]

On May 10, #queensu and collaborators launched a new national astroparticle physics research institute. @McDonaldInst will advance our knowledge of the frontiers of physics and create unique opportunities for researchers and students https://t.co/EnCs6K2g5w

We all spent the day staring at the eclipse when we should have been invading the Fire Nation. #Eclipse2017 #AvatarTheLastAirbender

[Kirsty Duncan @KirstyDuncanPhD]

All suited up for the long decent down to @SNOLABscience, the world-class science lab located deep underground.

[Benjamin Tam @BenofTam]

@SNOLABscience Tough crowd.

@SNOLABscience You mean this Lively morning? Har har har.

Spotted @CTVNorthernNews: the cold, hard stare of a man who chaired 4 hours of plenaries before an interview. @SNOLABscience #TAUP2017 https://t.co/6hg0qaMULG

Not all heroes wear capes: Xenon1T at #TAUP2017 supporting Superman through advanced Krypton(ite) removal techniques. @SNOLABscience

[Benjamin Tam @BenofTam]

Some corny and sappy tweet about #TAUP2017 because apparently that's what I'm known for now. @SNOLABscience

[SNOLAB @SNOLABscience]

This is how you kick off a conference! #TAUP2017 Thanks to @StackBrewing and @Studio123 for showing off our SNOLAB Blues! #whyIloveSudbury

[Reza Moridi @rezamoridi]

Yesterday, I visited @SNOLABscience 2km below Earth's surface, where #Ontario's #physicists are studying #darkmatter & neutrinos #InnovateON

The rise of flat-Earthers in society provides some of the best evidence for the failure of our educational system.
