@adamconover Thanks, brother!

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

Amazing piece by my sister @emcconover on how quantum computers are going to transform cryptography. Read it.

[Cassie Martin @CassieRMartin]

I loved editing this story by @emcconover and legit screamed with joy when she sent me the photo that goes with it.

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

@hadriancho Very touching story, Adrian! And really interesting to hear about the history of the APS.

[H. Adrian Cho @hadriancho]

Really cool story by @ScienceNews @emcconover about a particular tile shape that can be used to completely cover an infinite plane without ever forming a pattern that repeats itself. Yeah, it kind of does my head in, too. Wish I'd written this. https://t.co/55eiAS3asp

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

@andy_hilton Well, another way of thinking about it is that your pattern only repeats once. That's not the normal definition of a pattern. A true pattern should repeat over and over indefinitely.

@GeorgiaWild WANT! 🫴 Please!

Hi! I'm going to be away from Twitter and the physics beat for a bit, because... I had a baby! She's very cute, but as far as I can tell, not at all interested in subatomic particles, gravitational waves, etc. We are working on it.

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

@richardsima woah, I missed your earlier announcement, congrats!!!

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

@goes_by_kim @ykarenkwon Congrats and welcome to DC!

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

Yes! Add to this the fact that cats are actually *terrible* at killing rats, which is one way people try to justify keeping cats outside @adamconover

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

Why you should never, ever let your cat outside

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

@Arboreal_Laurel I'm so jealous!

[Emily Conover @emcconover]

@Timondelaplaya Thank you!

Post-Roe litigation will swirl around medication abortion, and whether states can ban an FDA-approved drug.

If they can't, abortion pills could be protected nationwide. If they can, states might start restricting other drugs too.

Really informative breakdown of how scientific misunderstandings are used to support abortion restrictions. From @ScienceNews https://t.co/VtlgWdjEn9
