That is 11 Muon Colliders. A single one could probe for new physics far beyond the LHC's reach. Learn more: muoncollider.web.cern.ch

Introducing my new science outreach tracking tool DOCENT, designed for a department or institution's outreach efforts to be distributed across all eager science communicators. Enables everyone to bring their own creative approach to reaching the public and share info with each other.

Members of all but four cohorts of #CottrellScholars since 1994 were in Tucson this week to welcome a new group of outstanding teacher-scholars to this special community. Congratulations!
New Cottrell Scholars and Holland Award recipients raise their trophies in celebration.

Not sure what they're on about BUT.. The US Department of Energy's particle physics budget is only about the price of one coffee per American per year. With that, the US has helped discover the majority of the Standard Model's particles, most on US soil. Imagine what we could do with two coffees...

Yoooo - Thanks for coming out last night to see Harmonic Motion Scruffy City Hall (w/ a Science&Reason DJ set). Was a blast to play some bloops, crack open a guitar, and try a hand at live VJing for Science&Reason in #touchdesigner. So good to see everyone and hope to play again for you soon!

Honored to be UTK’s second Cottrell Scholar (after @tovaholmes.bsky.social!). I’ll work on accelerator projects towards a future muon collider and developing support structures for students transferring from community college (as I did) who face unique challenges in physics programs (as I also did!)

Hey y'all US friends! Did you see my postdoc ad to come and work with me on CMS? inspirehep.net/jobs/2864716 We usually get very few American applicants in EU unis (zero again, so far), but maybe at this moment in time it's a nice opportunity? Deadline is flexible.

NSF has taken down their award management system while conducting a comprehensive review to check compliance with recent EOs. This means, among other things, that NSF fellows can’t request their Feb 1st paychecks What a time to be on a “prize” fellowship

Great talk by Mark Palmer on US muon collider activities at HEPAP today. Scrappy grassroots efforts by hundreds of scientists while we wait for official US funding agency responses to the P5 “muon shot” so we can collaborate more effectively with the International muon collider collaboration! 🧪⚛️
