@ElberethM @kek_jp @ilc_tsushin @DanielJeans4ILC Thanks! This is cool!

@physicscat0x7d I stopped counting at 300 failed applications. There were many more than that. Keep applying, start opening up what you consider an acceptable job, outside your comfort zone. Just keep going, and you'll land something

@PhDewhurst I hit one with a hammer!

[Ryan Bodenstein @evenkolder]

It was quite an honor to participate in this event!

[Jefferson Lab @JLab_News]

Excited to join the first State of Federal Labs event by @VAPenChamber! Showcasing @JLab_News & @NASA_Langley. Our nuclear physics and data science work drives discoveries, benefiting the nation and solidifying the Peninsula as a tech collaboration center. https://t.co/drA1qHTgga

@ElberethM @StewMH @DanielJeans4ILC @DGCerdeno @AWarb Thanks!

@JLab_News caught me on camera in my element: giving a tour of a #particle #accelerator!

[Ryan Bodenstein @evenkolder]

Quite a set of accomplishments!

Not sure I'll ever make it to 35 years at @JLab_News, but I'll certainly try!

My "integrated time" is at ~12 years (May 2004 - December 2012 + February 2021 - present). Nothing like these all-time greats! I've learned so much from them!

[Jefferson Lab @JLab_News]

Honoring 35+ years of dedication at Jefferson Lab! Meet the amazing employees who've been with us for over three decades. Their stories of commitment and passion inspire us every day. https://t.co/KbFjKQLI1b

Side task: I was asked to convert the PERLE lattice from a series of separate OptiM files into a single multipass Bmad file for a BBU study. The relevant sections are multipass, but the other sections would be a lot of work to clean up.

@stephenjbrooks I guess I can get really drunk before I go public. That should help with the coherency at least. Probably.

Just to put it out there again:

My family is awesome. Yuna ordered me a custom shirt (including the back of my head, Logan's head, Lucy's head, and Nibbler's head) based on the game I've been playing lately: Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Logan and Lucy made me awesome cards.

Happy Father's Day indeed!

@Andreadful_ @PPapakonNucl Other than the example above? Pretty much anything outside of physics. And frankly, many of her physics hot takes aren't great either. She's a theorist, and tends to forget that experimentalists and applied physicists are also physicists, who have different and valuable insights.

[Ryan Bodenstein @evenkolder]

@CosylabHQ See you there!

Low-res versions of my three main-author poster contributions to #IPAC24 from my work at @JLab_News.

They all have QR codes to read the pre-prints.

Tomorrow, I'll be driving to Nashville!

This one is a status update for our current LDRD grant studying the degradation of permanent magnet materials in CEBAF's radiation environment at @JLab_News.

This one is about our past LDRD grant on attempted Start-to-End simulations for the FFA@CEBAF energy upgrade study at @JLab_News.

@martinmbauer Congratulations!

[Ryan Bodenstein @evenkolder]

@stephenjbrooks @JLab_News They do have a Gauss/Tesla option for units, but we need to enter a few variables so it can spit out the right numbers.

We will have to figure out how to do it, but it seems relatively easy. Hopefully

[Ryan Bodenstein @evenkolder]

Our Helmholtz Coil finally arrived for our @JLab_News #LDRD project.

Now to learn how to use it.

It's exciting to be able to learn and do totally new things in #accelerator #science after so many years. This is one reason I got into #physics in the first place.
