NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Hey, guess what? This 🤡 is still doing the same thing at another colloquium. #APS did nothing. #Snowmass did nothing. Yet the #Physics community continues to give him a platform to spout his anti-accessibility rhetoric.

And @kylecranmer.bsky.social talking about the future @lukasheinrich.com @giordonstark.com @matthewfeickert.com

finished another #pyhf tutorial - this time at UH Manoa (University of Hawai'i).

new paper out a few days ago: arxiv.org/abs/2412.11644

Hey @matplotlib what do we call this and how can we make this plot? https://images.app.goo.gl/Y9gWutyXJkcnZJSM7

Truly the best captioning that money can buy.

it's hard to say if this is a session break or not (I assume so) but the autocraptions don't indicate anything... If there were actual Deaf attendees there in person, they would not be able to rely on this for any sort of announcements that are important for logistics or safety.

In case anyone is wondering, @ENERGY sponsored @CERN FCC week in the US is providing this as "captions"

Pro tip: got a PDF file that's just too big to upload for an application? Here's a ghostscript command that does the heavy-lifting for you: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

I'm shocked by the disparity between the quality of @StanfordMed and the (lack of) quality of the #ASL staff interpreters they have for their #Deaf patients. https://t.co/pKGJMEmaEw

This was a nice surprise from @united and the pilot :)

One of the best experiences/moments for me in the past few days was to meet @MarieCoppola68 in persona, and to find out that we have some overlapping interests in improving policy for the intersection of science funding and disability.

And out on arXiv! https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.08347

Particle Physicists looking for more funding. #P5 #Townhall #Fermilab

It is absolutely important to have embargos on important announcements that impact your future career in particle physics. So definitely don't read https://science.osti.gov/-/media/hep/hepap/pdf/Meetings/2023/P5-HEPAP.pdf before the meeting happens.

I acknowledge but I don’t understand. @CERN

The view from @CERN this morning h/t @ATLASexperiment @CMSExperiment @ALICEexperiment @LHCbExperiment

Update: Cornell fixed their application - so now all submitted!

Just finished submitting all (11) faculty applications. List so far: UVic, Buffalo, KIT, Irvine, Notre Dame, Caltech, Cornell*, Harvard, UBC, UArizona, and NYU. * = application portal bug, cannot submit just yet

I wonder if @Skype realizes how much @CERN keeps them in business. 😅

I am discovering today that Germans do not understand the difference between cakes, pies, or tarts.

It's really weird to see a new HEP Faculty position open up at $INSTITUTE for a job you applied to already, got short-listed, and never got rejected. So instead of using the same short list to hire, they just do a new search instead? Ok...

I'll be @CERN from Nov 11th to Dec 9th if anyone wants to invite me out to give a seminar talk or just hang out. #HEP

If you are an email provider of longer than 10 years (such as say.. @CERN), you might want to consider that you have the obligation of not trying to screw up your users workflows and making sweeping changes to the email that forces your users to constantly re-adapt.

I've got a bunch of folks on my timeline who deal with grad admissions (for Physics primarily) who would definitely want to read/be-aware-of this paper. https://twitter.com/cientificolatin/status/1692195963157225585

Congrats to Javier :) https://twitter.com/UCSDPhySci/status/1689305890250260480

Nice to see the work by @aud2526 and others here https://twitter.com/SignatureDeaf/status/1689931244425871360

Now @Fermilab (Family Lab) is talking about reducing the evil corrections. Truly a Demon Immune Institution.

Definitely @Fermilab has the best #craptioning - great use of @ENERGY funding

> Remember that the "=" syntax for coupling order means "<=". This is why we don't let physicists write code.

The following places I applied to for a physics faculty position (2022-2023 cycle) never bothered to let me know if I was rejected or not: SMU, Harvard, UBC, Princeton, JHU, and UCSD. I don't understand why this is still a thing. Just send a courtesy email...

Need to dump this very niche, but useful knowledge for everyone else's benefit who uses #docker. This is a 🧵about #zombies (not the flesh-eating kind!) First, for context, when you spin up a docker image, the #CMD is your PID 1 process, e.g. a webserver or a database. 1/5

Me: "so much work to do and make slides and prepare talks" Also me: "Why is nobody else sending me emails or pinging me on Skype for help to distract me from my work?"

Gotta love it when it's all words and no actions @APSphysics : "APS Sharpens Focus on Ethical Conduct in Physics" also @APSphysics: (ignores reports filed a year ago on various conduct violations)
