@MaximZiatdinov Not to mention the fact that most companies stopped sharing internal instrument schematics 40 years ago (unless you contaminate yourself and team up), so we are left with trying to figure out how to infer or guess badly what it's like inside.

@MaximZiatdinov This is me guilty as charged in the field of electron optics, although I partly blame the fact that almost every electron optics paper written in the past is either an advert for bad expensive commercial software, or shares no code which now has to be remade. 🤷‍♂️

Everywhere you look there is reason for the UK government to spend more money. Health, schools, water, transport, housing and energy. But the government and Labour say there is no money left. That, I suggest, is simply not true. A thread…..

My PhD conferring ceremony took place last week 👩‍🎓

I am delighted that Charlie, David and I were conferred in the same ceremony. By pure chance, we managed to get a photo taken exactly where we were introduced during orientation week ten years ago!

@_Alice_Shannon @BerAngley @UL @sci_engUL It was great to see both of ye again this time in red robes, and very apt to meet together there by accident! Best of luck into the future!

Just commented on @thejournal_ie: Sexton has 'probably proved me wrong' after Lions omission, admits Gatland - https://t.co/4EuQiMRl1n

@Suhail @karpathy Spyder's debugger is better than vscode for me. Vscodes stupid "just my code" option (which is really awkward to change) means I can't inspect packages, and I can't print plots to terminal while debugging in vscode, but I can in Spyder - if only spyder had good ssh integration!

@quantumbeans Hey, that's my software! Shameless plug: https://t.co/fNbFzm1Yvc Beware, there will be lots of bugs, and it's slow on Macs for some reason I have not figured out yet. And I can't guarantee green electrons depending on which OS you use.

Protons are not fundamental particles, but dynamical systems made of quarks and gluons. What a proton looks like depends on 2 quantities: the momentum at which you probe (Q^2) and the fraction of the proton momentum carried by each quark or gluon inside the proton (x) 1/6

I am standing amazed of my long-term collaborators in Kiev that just submitted the revised version of our joint paper....

There is a lot of pressure on academics to be extraordinarily successful. Is it worth it?

I once saw an incredible lecture in Berkeley by a historian of science, one of the best talks I have ever seen. He started his talk sitting on the desk amongst a huge pile of physics textbooks from history, each in its day "the best textbook of its time."

I am blown away by https://t.co/N0TCTx4ujf. Such a useful tool for research.

This in-browser graphical LaTeX tool gives you free-form drawing (tikz export), WYSIWYG rendering, symbol shortcuts, and even picture-based symbol search. I might even write full papers in this...

The tweet below is exactly why I'm so delighted that @bingbrunton has agreed to be one of speakers at the inaugural @neuromatch for kids in December.
In two colourful accesible notes to explain "why is the sky blue" she touches on physics, probability and perception.
Phenomenal!

Michael McDowell is wondering whether the PDs should make a return. Obviously he believes Irish society is not unequal enough.

[Michael Nielsen @michael_nielsen]

Very cool diagram showing mass versus radius for various celestial bodies. Structural differences between (eg) main sequence stars and red giants just jump off the diagram! As do many other striking differences.

Oliver Cromwell, known as founder of modern Ireland, introduced Irish people to blessings of one crop monoculture, famine, and slavery to foreign overlords.

@JeffCassidy7 @matt_veasey @KeithHuewen Do you have a source for that Jeff?
