I love illusions. Just came across this one tonight. Believe it or not, the shadow is produced by the box (not the bunny). We talk about artifacts all the time but I often wonder how illusions manifest in medical imaging. Here’s a fun @RSNA paper about it https://t.co/WbGehS07L7

Do not normalize Donald Trump. Yes, he won 2nite going away. But Donald Trump refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power, he tried to overthrow an election, he committed crimes attacking our democracy, & he’s pledged to be a dictator.

Do not normalize Donald Trump.

@yuanjamesrao It really depends on the probability of nuclear spallation events. It might go through at low LET, but very different story if it collides with another nucleus

[Michael Oumano, PhD, DABR, DABSNM, MRSE, CHP @MichaelOumano]

@yuanjamesrao Love this question.Well there’d likely be a ton of spallation events w v high E+LET scatter going far in all dirctions.2.4x10^20eV=38.5J so IF this were unifrmly deposted in 1 L of water, that’d be 38.5 Gy…pretty sure we don’t even have σ data for Es that high for a reliable sim

Love my #FathersDay present this year (super comfortable material too)

@DrMarinaSala Just bought it!

@historyinmemes Crazy that there were such significant outbreaks of the plague in England over such a long period of time (14th through 17th centuries). They didn’t understand the source until the late 19th.

Played around with the Cancer Imaging Archive today and I’m very impressed. I’m hoping I’ll soon have access to the Low Dose CT Image and Projection Dataset (had to specially request for some reason). Big kudos to all who’ve made this freely available

@ThePhysicsMemes Why no integral name that corresponds to “pop”? Absackle goes w crackle and absock goes w lock but no integral seems to go w pop

Sea surface temperature (SST) craziness has returned to the North Atlantic.

Covering daily data for 44 years (15,119 days), the North Atlantic SST anomaly just equaled the previous record level set on May 14th at 0.891°C above the 1982-2023 mean.

With due respect @emilymbender I really think you are thinking about this the wrong way.
👉 Congress won’t help any of us if we can’t find common ground
👉 There actually *is* common ground, since all of us are actually concerned about systems that are unreliable, poorly controlled and overly empowered
👉 The media has rightly started to ridicule the internal squabbles
👉 In the end, these squabbles are only empowering big tech to do exactly the things you don’t want it to do

Scientists have taken the world's first X-ray signal (or signature) of just one atom. This groundbreaking achievement could revolutionize the way scientists detect the materials

4yo used the word “indivisible” perfectly (unprompted) in normal dinner conversation tonight

@HikesWithDogs00 Very true. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. Gave it my best shot.

[Edgar McGregor @edgarrmcgregor]

I have no words.

The world's oceans are 0.4°F warmer right now than any other year on this date on record.

A single year... sitting 0.4°F above the previous daily record.

How do we even tell the public this?

[Michael Oumano, PhD, DABR, DABSNM, MRSE, CHP @MichaelOumano]

@HikesWithDogs00 Such a rough game! Some people make it look so easy though. Thought I’d give it a try
