🎉 We have reached 200 #GravitationalWave candidates in O4! 🎉

The fourth observing run (O4) of our detector network has had the best performance so far, with more candidates than ever before! We are currently busy analysing all these wonderful data and look forward to sharing results

Back in Southern California for #APSSummit25! Here to support CSUF students and postdocs and other collaborators with some awesome presentations on gravitational-wave astrophysics.

If you have clear skies, Mercury is just 6° below and to the left of Venus (for northern hemisphereans). It was easy to spot with binoculars for me just now! They'll be close for a few more days, too.

Saw Venus bright in the twilight tonight, with the thin arc of the crescent moon drifting through sunset-pink clouds below. ✨

So @jocelynread.bsky.social posted her HS/UG calculator. My undergrad calcs were a folding Casio fx7500g and an HP11c. Still have both. Escalated to an HP48g (thru an HP48sx that died) and STILL use it every day. I won't say if I have several spares in case of failure... Show your #firstCalculator

Some weekend organizing unearthed my well loved calculator from high school and undergrad! Such a delight to use. It's so lightweight!

I'm teaching introductory electricity and magnetism this semester and Faraday's law must have seemed like such a weird conspiracy of the universe as it was discovered.

Hello bluesky! I'm still figuring out how I want to use this account.

What do you want to see more of here?
