I am happy to be featured on this episode in this fun and insightful podcast. @weinersmith.bsky.social and @danielwhiteson.bsky.social are really great in answering absurd questions!

What if you could beat the Likelihood Ratio Test? A fun and potentially transformational phy-statistics paper with Ann Lee, James Carzon, @rafael-izbicki.bsky.social, luca Masserano and @danielwhiteson.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2507.17831

. @danielwhiteson.bsky.social & Andy Warner's new book, "Do Aliens Speak Physics" is available for pre-order! It asks the question: when aliens arrive, can we talk to them about physics, or is our science a little bit human rather than completely Universal? wwnorton.com/books/978132...

"Do Aliens Speak Physics," my 6th(!) book is out in November and you can pre-order it now. Written w/ @danielwhiteson.bsky.social, it's all about aliens, math, physics, and how much of the world around us is really the world around us. It's also got a lotta silly cartoons! www.alienspeakphysics.com

If you read a book you enjoyed, EMAIL THE AUTHOR. We love hearing from readers!

Wondered what it would take for AI agents to design and test new theories for fundamental physics, just like a physicist? We show how, an example in neutrino model building! Paper with Jake, Max, Victoria, Jason leading crucial aspects, also @danielwhiteson.bsky.social . arxiv.org/abs/2506.08080

What a perfect, tragic example of these misguided policies. Instead of expanding our new ability to listen to the Universe, they choose to return to deafness.

You mentioned galaxies of antimatter earlier - there was this amazing comic called 2001 Nights where Paradise Lost was woven into this story about Planet X being made of antimatter, the last remnant of an antimatter accretion disk next to our proto solar system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Ni...

Daniel and Kelly talk about dark matter and anti-matter!

Can antimatter help us find dark matter? Daniel and Kelly look for ways that mysteries of antimatter could shed light on the mysteries of dark matter www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Stars go BOOM BOOM

Daniel and Kelly answer questions about chain reactions in space, the chemistry of life, and how a theory is accepted.

Ep3 of the "Case for a new collider" series is out! Why is mapping the Higgs potential at a new collider so important? Such a mapping may allow us to understand how the universe may end and why we are even here to ask any questions at all. 🧪⚛️ Link: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This weak on the @DandKUniverse pod, it's Weak Force Week! Episodes on the left-handed-ness of the Universe, and what 'weak hypercharge' is and what it tells us about symmetries.

Episode 2 of the "Case for a new collider series" is out! Today, we explore the Higgs potential and how its form in our universe is still a deep mystery that might hide answers to some of the most pressing open questions in particle physics. 🧪⚛️ Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Daniel and Kelly talk about the extraordinary ability to tardigrades to survive extreme conditions, and ponder whether those abilities have kept them alive after a space craft carrying them crashed into the surface of the Moon. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Now(ish) on arxiv: Learning Broken Symmetries with Approximate Invariance Invariances (or, as physicists call them: symmetries) of the data can be baked into a ML model to improve performance or data efficiency. However, in reality, these symmetries are often broken. How to deal with that?

New paper! Learning Broken Symmetries with Approximate Invariance Led by HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT Seth Nabat, with Aishik_Ghosh, Ed Witkowski and GregorKasieczka. arxiv.org/abs/2412.18773
