[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.

At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change. 

I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.

[村山斉 @sleptogenesis]

The long-anticipated P5 report will be released after 1pm Eastern tomorrow (Dec 7) at https://t.co/sOprfcuZqW which is a “draft for approval” by HEPAP on Dec 8. #P5report

@CDBrownII Happy #WorldQuantumDay! Great video featuring @CDBrownII and others!

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

Last day of classes...Congratulations everyone! What a year it has been! Good luck to all students with their finals.

[Yale University @Yale]

Happy last day of classes!

New results from CUORE today! Come and join us to see our latest results! Congrats to the whole collaboration.

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

OMG. It is hard to believe that this can happen. And with @SNOLAB nearby. Is there anything the scientific community can do to support Physics at Laurentian and reverse this? So many memories of working at SNO and visiting Laurentian...

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

Congratulations to the HAYSTAC team and @ReinaMaruyama on this new result! Proud to host the experiment at Yale Wright Lab and the @YalePhysicsDept.

Come celebrate the most amazing physicist of all time, Madame Wu Chien-Shiung who turned the world of physics upside down. She showed us symmetry is not to be taken for granted. Here are the ceremony details: 11am EST on Thurs 2/11

90 years ago today, Wolfgang Pauli proposed the existence of a new particle: the neutrino! You can read Pauli's letter here: https://t.co/H6CztBrsEn

A New Data Milestone for CUORE Experiment in Italy https://t.co/efdukK8n8i. -- Yale Wright Lab is excited to continue our work on CUORE, and we look forward to the next step in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay with CUPID!

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

Some 20 years later I am still in awe of the beautiful results obtained by @SNO. I remember the first time we observed neutrino flavor change. It was an honor to be a graduate student on SNO and the collaboration. Experience of a lifetime!

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

Scientists at Yale Wright Lab are involved in a suite of experiments probing the nature of the "ghost particle": PROSPECT, Daya Bay, MicroBooNE, SBND DUNE, CUORE, CUPID, nEXO, Project 8, IceCube....when will we understand neutrinos? #neutrino90

[Berkeley Lab @BerkeleyLab]

90 years ago this week, physicist Wolfgang Pauli penned a letter proposing a new particle, which became known as the #neutrino. It was found 26 years later, and our scientists and others have since learned a lot about this “ghostly” particle. #neutrino90

DOE Explains...Neutrinos. Thanks to ⁦@doescience⁩ for supporting PROSPECT and other experiments in neutrino physics. https://t.co/xzJs5Wzqpn

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

Will this be the future format of our meetings? Broader access is good but the way we do science will change without personal interactions.

[American Physical Society @APSphysics]

Compared to previous in-person conferences of about 900, more than 4,000 neutrino physicists gathered online for the 29th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics for eight days between June 22 and July 2. Read more in APS News: https://t.co/CbGlO3mC2K

An essay by Yale PhD Brooke Russell on the importance of having mentors. This is so critical. We need to do better as a community so everyone can find their mentors!

[Karsten Heeger @karstenheeger]

Congratulations to @ReinaMaruyama from @YalePhysicsDept for this recognition!

[YaleQuantumInstitute @Yale_QI]

Congratulations to @ReinaMaruyama for becoming an @APSphysics Fellow for innovative and wide-ranging contributions to the experimental study of rare events and fundamental symmetries! https://t.co/V3MsaDwRI1
