THIS. See, I accept that my dogs are dumbasses who really don't want to listen to me and I don't know why everyone else isn't this way! (Actual working dogs are an exception.)

If didn't hit me how entirely absurd it was til I was teaching E&M a few years ago and the students were like... Excuse me, what?! Apparently it made mathematicians made but, hey, it modeled the physics quite well!

"Especially competitive..." Right because it was such a cakewalk before. Vought can go step on a thousand Legos...

On a different literary note... I dropped some "Stealing from Wizards" on my friend's 13-year-old and have been delighted to share that with him and his little sibs. Magic! Scrappy underdogs! Found family! Two of those three relate to our actual real lives... stealingfromwizards.com

Had a particularly fun panel on Dragoncon SciFiLit co-designing a world for this alien with fellow panelists and audience. Some of whom had co-designed the alien earlier. This is what biology by committee would produce 😂
A menacing looking alien sketched in marker on a white board with air sacs on its head, pincers (just because), retractable shell and sonar dome, pumice skin arms, a tech screen on the face showing eyes, whale teeth, and lots and lots of long skinny tentacles. It has microbes as predators nearby. Underneath says, "please do not era." My unintelligible scribble and doodling of the world is on the papers next to it

Him: I believe you. I just... nope. Anyway, here's the video series "Imaginary Numbers are Real" that I share with my students whenever we get into complex numbers that makes the argument that numbers are two dimensional once you bring i into it. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Yesterday I had a wide-ranging discussion about a bunch of things with my spouse and the subject of the imaginary number "i" came up... Him: They just made up a new number. Me: Well, it expands the number system so that numbers are two-dimensional. Him: No. Me: What? Him: Nope. 😂

I recognize that this is true, and I deeply appreciate the science communicators inhabiting these spaces. I, however, am not in these spaces... So, do me a favor? Drop a link to your favorite short-form video science communicators! (Maybe it's even you?) Let's share the good content! #SciComm 🧪

I'm feeling quite hopeful and buoyed by the discussions this thread led to yesterday. A lot of us care about quality and, perhaps even more in danger here, trust across research networks. Group hug, y'all.

I think the decision is GREAT! And, it makes you really have to trust your lead authors in big, complex projects.

Though I have been on some huge 60+ person papers that were chunked out in sections to different teams.

Nicole Gugliucci @noisyastronomer.com · 19/05/2026
So then... Would arXiv take that under advisement? It sounds like, via their terms of use, the 30 folks that made the cyclotron run are as responsible for the citations as the lead author. (I do NOT usually work in teams that big, but I'm curious.)

I HAVE been wondering about how this works with those experimental physics projects that legit have like a hundred people working on it. Including instrumentation focused folks.

At least SOME of the blame needs to be put on the "publish or perish" bullshit in academia.
