Just picked up this book from @astrokatie.com! Been looking forward to this since listening to the Crash Course: The Universe podcast

I also got to work with antimatter! Our group tested our first prototype detector in front of a positron beam at Jefferson Lab. We're testing our third prototype now in the same spot! ⚛️ 🧪

Trying to find a good 3D model to show the scale of the ePIC detector at the Electron-Ion Collider. I think this one works well, doesn't it? ⚛️🧪

As far as we can tell, our group is the first to deploy SiPM-on-tile technology inside a particle collider! We're testing one of our prototypes in RHIC at @brookhavenlab.bsky.social ⚛️🧪

Installing our prototype detector at Jefferson Lab! Now we just have to wait for the positron beam to turn on... ⚛️🧪

I saw this as well! Was not expecting it, just looked up at the right time

I got to meet Dr. Katie Mack @astrokatie.com at my university today! She's giving a talk on the particle physics of dark matter ⚛️🧪

Here's some other angles that can give you a sense of scale
