@theAliceRoberts Your "The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being: Evolution and the Making of Us" is one of my favourite books. What age group is "Wolf Road" aimed at?

It’s been *forever* since my last Physics Twitter Thread 😳.

But today I ran into a beautiful artistic physics demo in my hometown that inspired me to write a few lines.

I’m sure you’ve all seen these massive floating granite balls. How do they work?

TRAPPIST-1 b: We give it a one (M-dwarf) star review; it lacks atmosphere. ⭐

Webb found the dayside temperature of this rocky exoplanet to be about 450º F (227º C) — suggesting it has no significant atmosphere: https://t.co/TGYqguDgT4

Here’s why this is a big deal ⬇️

We face a choice: continue to ignore deaths from COVID-19 or prevent them. In collaboration with @RealOzSAGE, we call on the Australian government to act urgently to reduce transmission of COVID-19 by using the tools we have, instead of abandoning them.

My condition has declined fast. It’s clear I have severe #MECFS

I can’t eat solid foods, or feed myself.
I have moderate pain almost 24/7.
I have trouble breathing and lose my ability to stay fully conscious when my symptoms intensify.
I cannot leave the bed.

I am scared 😔

Learned that from The Phantom..."The Ghost Who Walks."

Behold one of the mightiest tools in mathematics: the camel principle.

I am dead serious. Deep down, this tiny rule is the cog in many methods. Ones that you use every day.

Here is what it is, how it works, and why it is essential.

@theAliceRoberts @mcdonal01 @HannahWillowArt But good for the penguins!

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

I protested against the poll tax, against the Cardiff bay barrage, against the Iraq war… under this new regime I would not have been exercising democratic rights: I would be a criminal.

@thephysicsgirl @Apple If you are not interested in reusing/recycling... then see if @SimoneGiertz is interested.

Am I sad I won't be presenting 2 major parts of my research about Mars salts analyzed by ChemCam at #lpsc2022 in person wearing this outfit I made ? Yes.
Am I probably making more cool outfits for a future LPSC? Also yes.

[Piotr Zalewski @p_zalewski]

Remarkable speech. Addressed to the Russian people, it should also be heard everywhere.

[Dr Pamela L Gay @starstryder]

When I was 17 I was a student astronomer at the 6-m telescope in the Caucus mountains in the USSR. It was one of those peacekeeping student exchange things where Soviet teens were at Harvard-Smithsonian at the same time.

I left a few weeks before the coup.
