Merchandising idea for my local Total Wine, build a STEM themed endcap display. You can start with these.

Had to cut out of AAPT early to head to the @calbridge.bsky.social Doctoral Summer Institute, but at least I was rewarded with our ice cream cart for afternoon breaks!

Hope the participants had as much fun as I did playing with my spin coaster at the Advanced Labs workshop thie morning! #AAPTSM26

In the spirit of #AAPTSM26 and me climbing to the back of my closet looking for high school punk rock Sara photos, here is my first AAPT membership card I found!

Excited to be heading to Pasadena tomorrow for #AAPTSM26. Any physics friends here going?

Some great fluid physics at wine tasting!

Pre-gamed graduation enough to finally order PhD regalia from Stony Brook because I am jealous of my colleagues with cooler robes than my generic Amazon ones.

Make and take diffraction gratings for a field trip today!

At Hollywood actor is giving a talk at our local historical society in an old mission. This is some Midsomer Murders in So Cal shit.

A 12 cabin resort in Belize in an uncommonly rainy week is how murder mysteries begin. I am both here for it and want to get out before I am a suspect.

This is why I don't to to APS much. I switched to AAPT because it felt more welcoming when I knew no one there.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

So excited to be doing a ton of stuff and meeting amazing folks at CU*IP!

No proper celebration until all the paperwork is done, but I think I just pulled the "Campus grant office messed up. Error in your favor." Chance card in Academic Monopoly.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Yay! That's awesome! I will be the short person with a trivia battle jacket tomorrow so definitely say hello. :)

Thesis feedback for my first ever masters student, who is amazing and basically supervised himself because I am the world's okayest advisor.

030

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Yep. But I am going to see if other faculty want to get in on using it for student incentives at the cost of contributing some prizes. Or I could be a jerk and set the win rate really low.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

This is going to be either the best or dumbest thing I've put in my office.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Only for pics. I didn't have it in me to go out in the sexy version to trick or treat with my kid. :)

Beat lecture slide of my career so far.

Well you're not fully wrong as I will be ascending to the Advanced Labs society presidency. :)

He's 7 now. We did some kids music classes before Covid but he's all sports all the time right now. Plus a healthy dash of STEM.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Well if he grows up to he at all like you I'd be very happy. :) But...despite being half Jason's he seems to have my almost total lack of musical talent.

My kid asked for an algebra book. He doesn't know what these mean but was very excited to show me his "first graphs" this morning.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

My kid started writing his own math problems and he's really into E=mc^2 and Einstein for some reason. Wonder where he gets it.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

I'll try this an an intimidation tactic first and see if it helps. :)

New approach for academically dishonest students.

A "Faculty Learning Community" is not actually a Learning Community if you don't spend a significant amount of time building the community in the first place. End rant.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Currently reviewing internal grants and, I'm not sure if this is in the instructions but if it is, faculty should be penalized in the rankings if they put their names in what is supposed to be an anonymous proposal.

Sara Callori @saradoesscience.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

My department is hiring and looking for a physicist to join us! We are a lot of fun and have lots of candy and snacks so if that doesn't convince you to apply I don't know what will. (Also feel free to share this!) careers.csusb.edu/en-us/job/55...
