Micky Holcomb

Female physics professor who discovered a new type of easily switchable magnetism, collaborates with NASA, plays guitar, eats fire and is generally awesome

This is me #EatingFire today for my #physics class! #demo

Enjoying the holiday weekend! #fireworks #FourthofJuly

@Liv_Lanes I'm in this awkward stage between too sizes. I'd like to think I can lose some to fit in the lower size easier but probably not happening soon. I don't want to gain more. So sweat pants or dresses, depending on my mood. 😂

6 straight days of 24/7 beamtime working on our NASA and magnetism projects went well. Remotely using a synchrotron feels different, but working from my couch has perks. Thanks to my student GB for working really hard this week!

Creating a 20 Megaton blast!

Physicists have long suspected the real reason why Italian restaurants never serve pasta with the anti-pasta course — if the two ever combined they might spontaneously annihilate, creating pure energy, ruining your dinner.

Would be amazing to see any of this with my own eyes someday

Someone thinks they can make warp drives. That would be awesome. #WarpSpeed #space https://t.co/acWPdeKjkq

How was it born? The simulation in this article looks really cool! #astronomy

@twodoodle @SenCapito @POTUS Many of us here are concerned that we shouldn't be opening the schools here either. My kids are staying remote for the schoolyear. Like anywhere, there are some eager to open and some concerned it will set us back. Many in both camps.

@michiokaku I'm hoping for someone to help me find a use for my magnetism discovery for my prize 😁

For the beginners looking for resources, I have put together everything that I could think of in one blog. I hope it serves the purpose. #QuantumComputing

Very impressive!

[✨Star Stuff✨ @SpaceRachey]

Starship SN10 freaking stuck the landing!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤩🥳

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! 😭🚀👏

How cool is this? @dwavesys demonstrates performance advantage in #quantum simulation of exotic #magnetism https://t.co/GFcAHbguir via @physorg_com

It would be such an amazing experience to help out the team. #DearMoonCrew

[Micky Holcomb @MickyMagnets]

@TaoliLiu @MountainDew Just guessing

[Micky Holcomb @MickyMagnets]

@celza69 I did

[Micky Holcomb @MickyMagnets]

Agreed

If you write a professor and they don’t respond, email them again. In the last 30 days, I’ve read 5132 emails (75% within 30 minutes of receiving) and sent 555 emails. I work really hard to not miss emails, but it’s easy to do! Profs want to help, and some may need a reminder!

@bradmiska Funny. Lemming mass suicide is a myth but I support the analogy

[Micky Holcomb @MickyMagnets]

@JoeBiden I think you should point out that bad cops and bad politicians (like Trump) project their weaknesses on others. They feel better to think they are all bad. But that's not true. Trump thinks the good ones are losers because they don't take advantage of others.
