colleague: can you supervise a student's Modern Particle Physics independent study this semester? Just don't use it as inspiration for overly niche memes

Je mag er uiteraard van vinden wat je wil, maar het vervangen van deze twee kernreactoren door #wind en #zon zal een gelijkaardige inspanning vragen als alles wat er nu is aan wind en zon (!). #kernuitstap pic.twitter.com/epK7APEb4B
HISTORY OF PHYSICS

John von Neumann and Quantum Mechanics
In the fall 1926, the young John von Neumann (he was 23yo then) arrived in Göttingen to take up his duties as Hilbert’s assistant. These were the hectic years during which quantum mechanics was developing

My undergraduate research student submitted an application to the graduate program, with me as the desired supervisor, and asked me to write a recommendation letter. Which means I am writing a recommendation letter to... myself.

As my day comes to a close, I ask myself, did I do everything possible I set out to do? Peace at sunset, with its #cosmic #dance and the #Natraj promising a new day! I had to stop!

Last summer, @preskill and I worked with an amazing undergrad, Laura Lewis.

She proved that an ML algo in our recent paper on @ScienceMagazine can be exponentially improved:
Reducing the sample complexity from a large poly(n) to only log(n)!

Las sanciones para un estudiante están normadas en el artículo 95 del estatuto de la USAC. Expulsión es la más estricta de todas. ¿Por qué votaron por la amonestación más severa? pic.twitter.com/zAQbIUhE1f

Senior physicists like myself never ASK younger physicists to use FORTRAN, we merely passively aggressively tut and raise our eyebrows when we find out how long their python takes to run... https://t.co/Rv1h3CR4ll

British unis think they’re world class and yet they haven’t delivered staff a real term pay rise in 13 years, while cutting our pensions every few years. It’s a world class scandal. Well done UUK and UCEA. Top of the rankings for ruining our students’ education. @ucu @uonucu

'The crisis in particle physics'

My opinion on the crisis in particle physics or fundamental physics more broadly.

Una universidad que no acepta el disenso es una institución de adoctrinamiento. Una autoridad máxima que silencia a sus opositores es un tribunal inquisidor. Qué bajo hemos caído. #CamiloNoEstaSolo pic.twitter.com/nSYejzZYxB

I have a lot on my mind. One thought is that a fatal (intentional) flaw of DEI is that, as an enterprise, it assumes (demands) that marginalized people only want to be “successful” in an unchanged system and will uphold the system as long as “success” seems possible.

A🧵about a fundamental question in holography that recently gained attention and which I consider to be profound.

One way to think of AdS/CFT is to say that a conformal field theory in d dimensions can be seen as describing gravity (Einstein's equations) in d+1 dimensions.
