#UKElections2024 tv coverage is a tutorial in modelling, confidence estimation, statistics and data science and visualisation for the general public. I want to see one of the data science team explain their Python/R in this coverage.

@jianghongping Aaaah I was wondering how physics PhD students were immediately earning more than me on graduation 🥲. But seriously who works in publicly funded basic research for the money. It is sad the difference in salary is so large.

@boazhsan I feel fortunate to have learned to program in the 80s, learn from books, see the internet rise, have a computer/phone in my pocket, instantly communicate with colleagues and watch news and entertainment instantly from around the world. So understanding first and deeply 🫡

Fantastic LUXE and strong field QED meeting at the @WeizmannScience. The first time for me to meet colleagues in person. Now every physics department needs one of these. When I see a building like this I think it should house a Van de Graff.
