Do you want to be part of extremely hardcore sensing 2.0 with long hours and high intensity?

Hopefully you enjoy our one to nine rubidium-87 Bose-Einstein condensates generated using painted optical potentials as much as we do! 🤩


Wow. Thanks to galactica.org and the suggestion by @physicssteve, I guess that teaching got a lot easier for the second half of this winter term 🤩🤣


Preserving the twitter follower graph 

Here's how it works: the aim is to create a graph of who follows whom on twitter, keyed to ORCID ID numbers. The data are freely available under the CC0 license.

If you were/are a member of #ScienceTwitter, please add your information by going to opencheck.is/scitwitter and confirming your twitter handle and ORCID. I've done it myself, as have many of my friends, colleagues, followers, and followed.

@alexpghayes Check out the blog post linked in the post below. My advice: don't do it

Today, I will opt out of any email communication. Yet another email asking to peer review work that's clearly out of my expertise was the drop that filled the bucket.

Not to speak about the perpetuum mobile giving you vouchers for publishing your own work after you have reviewed something.

Not to speak about the insane amount of "special issues", one of which I was recently asked to co-edit while there's an ongoing one on exactly the same topic edited by a colleague.

No more words needed when you see the attached figure which I shamelessly stole from this fantastic article recommended by a friend.

This week, the world’s human #population is expected to reach 8B. About 109B people have lived and died. Each grain of sand represents 10M.

Three identical harmonic oscillators, starting with different initial conditions, and their phase-space representation (x is displacement from equilibrium, p is the canonical momentum).

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.
