QUARK! I don't know what people have been doing in the holosuite bathrooms lately. I don't care. But please, PLEASE, splurge JUST a little on the custodial services...

"What made you want to study quantum field theory?" "...penguins."

The original penguin diagram for b→s decay, where a gluon produces an ss̄ pair. LHCb is investigating electroweak decays where a μ+μ– pair is produced from a photon or a Z boson.

I'm late in announcing this, but I'm really happy (me, happy?) to say that I've been selected as a Regional Space Advisor! I'll be working with Federation allies and partners on capacity and strategy building, along with providing Starfleet acquisitions and plan developers with regional expertise.

Currently debating the degree to which I want to paint a target on my own back. The commissar Dukat picked to restructure Starfleet announced a single-faith "prayer service" at HQ. I'm strongly considering "accidentally hitting reply all" to "politely" ask if they'll have services for other faiths.
