@DurhamPhysics
QLM enjoyed a talk today from @Amyvsmii from @ImperialPhysics on culture, stereotypes, and social norms in physics at undergraduate and beyond. Lots to think about as we gear up towards a new year and a new cohort of students! 🤔
The dawn of laser cooling revolutionized atomic physics -- transforming atomic clocks & GPS; while laying the foundations for quantum computing with atoms & ions. In the first of a 3 part series, Chad Orzel @orzelc tells the story of its early years https://t.co/LBp7rT7BXj
This. #MAB
I haven't done my marking (~6 hours). I have had my pay cut by 50% for 37 days of May and June. "Luckily" I had three weeks of conferences and annual leave.
A thread about weekends during the #MAB.
I am contracted for 35 hours a week, with the expectation that when needed, I will work more than that, in exchange for time off in lieu at another point. (Sometimes deadlines clump and you have to work extra.)
Save the dates! The 28th International Conference on Atomic Physics will be held at Imperial College London, 14-19 July 2024⚛️
Summer school: 8-12 July (Oxford)
Satellite meetings: 22-24 July (Cambridge, Sussex), 22-25 July (Durham)
Congratulations to the winners of the Julia Higgins award and medal 🎉
Six members of staff were recognised this year for their outstanding contributions to supporting women in academia.
Hear from two of the winners 👇

Great thread on how to measure the roundness of the electron, and why it’s important.
PSA apply to work with @LukeACaldwell in London, he’s a fantastic colleague
Our paper https://t.co/vaEZWteulx on measuring the electron's electric dipole moment is now out in @ScienceMagazine. We are searching for new physics with an experiment that can fit on an (admittedly rather large) tabletop. A thread... (1/n)
This week in Science, a study reports “the most precise measurement yet” of the size of the electron’s permanent electric dipole moment.
The results have implications for an important unresolved question in physics—the imbalance of matter and antimatter. https://t.co/GyuCXRk6Zl
This week we are at the Quantum science with ultracold molecules meeting organized by Profs. @SimonLCornish, Tarbutt, and Price with the Royal Society @RoyalSociety near London
Quote 'Universities are trying everything to get around the boycott except the obvious: resuming negotiations with my lecturers'
The support students who may not graduate are showing their lecturers continues to bring me hope! #ucuRISING
