On behalf of @CenterForAstro, @JCherston and I proposed a 2025 @sxsw panel about how humans make big scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century!
It's currently up for voting, ft. @Convergent_FROs, @mjrieke, and @starstrickenSF! please vote for us here: https://t.co/9JoPKMl7Bh
I've started a project called CycleToScience, which catalogs bike routes to epic scientific sites. Join us on instagram & twitter :) https://t.co/txU2yPG2QB https://t.co/6yu4xzyCyv
The supermassive black hole in the Milky Way’s center, seen in this new image released today by the Event Horizon Telescope (@ehtelescope), has a strong magnetic field spiraling around its edge, hinting that a jet might shoot out from it.
No one today would accept a plan to build a massive overpass through a beautiful park and completely sever the link between the Emerald Necklace and the river. We shouldn’t accept a 90+ million dollar plan to rebuild one either.
Using quantum clouds in space to explore the quantum realm… New Cold Atom Lab hardware that recently arrived at @Space_Station will enable researchers to study more atoms at even colder temps—and could lead to new breakthroughs in quantum technologies.
Just as it did decades ago, UFO fever today indicates that Americans feel that their government knows more than it’s letting on, @marinakoren writes. https://t.co/h7k9jZhlVN
Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.
"The monstrous denizens of the intergalactic deep reveal themselves not through the light they emit, but by how they stir the space-time we share. When a gravitational wave moves through you, you are, for a moment, a different shape" https://t.co/hjk2CTUsTs by me @washingtonpost
Today's groundbreaking gravitational-wave discovery explained in pictures by @PHDcomics. Congrats to @NANOGrav@EPTAGW@InPTA_GW@CSIRO_ATNF and the Chinese Pulsar Timing Array. https://t.co/h6qQPJHUCd
BEST ELI15 description out there of the recent Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Detection comes from PhDComics for APS. Check it out! https://t.co/xIcqvYJdxa
The news is out! The @NANOGrav pulsar timing array collaboration has detected a background of cosmic gravitational waves rippling through our Universe! Let’s talk about it!

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 Major milestone on Ocean Avenue! 🚧🚧 A sturdy concrete median barrier has been added to the protected bikeway, enhancing safety for cyclists to enjoy a smooth and secure ride. 🚲🚲 We are amazed by the concrete 3D Printer! 🌊💙
major scientific facilities should be treated like cultural sites. They should have extensive public access, and opportunities for meaningful and fun experiences!
Recently @Fermilab has increased access restrictions for employees, visiting scientists, and the public. A new petition with ~2500 signatures says the policies "are dismantling the very features that have defined Fermilab to the public for decades." https://t.co/lylP7DrRy8
