@stuckinnaija Thanks for listening to the podcast. To answer your question, I think a certain amount of luck and a stubbornness (or naivety) in the face of often overwhelming imposter syndrome when younger.

@TheChills See you in Durham, NC

@kratsg In a similar vane for an intro PP course a while ago I wrote a poem to help explain the Higgs mechanism!!

V(phi) W 1
I smell the blood of a Goldstone bo-son
Be it charged, but not neutral, alas
I'll grind its bones to give me mass

Before getting "pandemic hair" cut I might as well use it in a profile pic!

@FlyingNun Nice! Will go well with the one I still have from the 10 year anniversary!!

The agreement allows broad involvement by @Fermilab in the formative stages including civil design of the tunnel. This is a first for US. Thanks to @doescience

Congratulations to our @DukeU @DukeTrinity faculty colleague Berndt Mueller for being awarded the 2021 Herman Feshbach Prize in Theoretical Nuclear Physics by the APS: https://t.co/oNV6o2SAGb

@CatherineQ Sad but very true -- one of the main differences we notice when we're back there visiting family (which alas didn't happen this year!!)

Washington Post discusses research on different face coverings for COVID protection led by @DukeU Physics Professors Martin Fischer and Warren S. Warren and collaborators. Important work! https://t.co/g9IHqSh0Po .

@chris_w_walter Likewise. Quarantine has meant I'm now a dead ringer for Kris Kristofferson!

[Mark C. Kruse @markckruse]

@preskill @Liv_Lanes Precisely.

Dropping the use of the GRE score in future application cycles is also being considered.

@nattyover Excellently written article. Curiously a deficit at ~17.5keV has about the same significance. The result assumes no tritium, which is fine, but if a systematic was associated with that uncertainty (if known) the result would be less significant. As they state, more data needed

@allyrecordsnc Indeed, would be great to connect in person and chat about mutual interests over a beer. Kia ora, aroha nui.

One of my musical heroes growing up was #GraemeJefferies (and his brother Peter). And I now find out a new label right next door in Raleigh, NC, @allyrecordsnc, is opening their account with a GJ (aka #Cakekitchen) LP. Makes not being back in NZ right now slightly more bearable!

Twitter’ s @Jack is correct. Display the tweets that come from the office of the president. They are public records.They document and reveal. They make the case for his unconscionable and unconstitutional conduct. Preserve, protect and make public his record. “A fool’s name....”

[Mark C. Kruse @markckruse]

@KyleCranmer Indeed, that could have been me talking!

[Mark C. Kruse @markckruse]

I've thought this before, but as I look down on this body I think how is this alive

A good piece on the #COVIDー19 work at the Peter Doherty Institute ⁦@unimelb⁩ ⁦@TheRMH⁩. Apologies if you hit a paywall. https://t.co/oNZgmAR4eA
