   FAcQ (Frequent Academic Questions): Q: Is that really what your home office looks like? A: No. Like everything happening in Zoom, this is done with a fake background and some basic photoshopping. The cats you sometimes see are animated gifs. I work out of a small hall closet. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1246198541661372422/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64409

   We've exceeded 500 hours of data collection from the muon detector at @SMUPhysics Fondren Science Building! The events at early times <1000ns have a problem due to the electronics, which we could finally see in the shape of the data. It's removed now. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1246142897629663239/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64401

   My #PHYS3305 students are experiencing their first real struggles in quantum mechanics, navigating that tension between interpreting and just using the wave function. David Mermin's advice will come in handy at this time. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1245825148499955712/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64391

   From Ri_Science https://twitter.com/Ri_Science on Twitter: What happens after a supernova explodes? In this clip from Jen Gupta's fantastic talk, she'll explain all you need to know about neutron stars, pulsars and what becomes of the remnants of these mysterious celestial bodies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1C2-a8-10&feature=youtu.be https://twitter.com/Ri_Science/status/1245750376395137024/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64381

   FAQ (Frequent Academic Questions): Dr. Sekula, do you always wear a suit at home? Yes. This is my morning suit. I'll switch to my more easy-going pin-stripe afternoon suit once I've concluded lunch. In the evenings, I prefer the relaxed look of a tuxedo. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1245727892870508544/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64377

    As we have explored a little this semester, Bragg Scattering would also prove a crucial tool in directly revealing the wave nature of matter. #PHYS3305 https://twitter.com/nobelprize/status/1244870546040422400

    Moar decaying muons! This weekend I learned how to generate the error band in the fit plot in Python. This is also the first evening the low side of the error band in the highest decay time bins has NOT included zero at 1 sigma. Statistics filling in nicely!

    "Sunday in the Park with Pandemic" Scenes from Collin County, TX. Sidewalk chalked with Biblical messages, presumably ahead of Easter. â**Spread hope, not Coronavirusâ** one implores. The sidewalk runs in front of the park. Itâ**s a city park. A sign is staked into the ground nearby, indicating the park is closed by order of the city. Children climb the monkey bars and…

    Let's get our muon lifetime fix! Since starting this report, the detector recorded 3931 muon decay candidates over 339 hours of continuous data-taking. An exponential decay + flat combinatoric model gives a lifetime of 2176 +/- 36 nanoseconds. Model visualization is fancier now! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1243676968790474760/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64079

    From megwatzke https://twitter.com/megwatzke on Twitter: What's a pulsar? It's the dense, rotating core left behind after a giant star collapses. This is the Vela pulsar, which rotates faster than a helicopter rotor and shoots out jets about 70% the speed of light that @chandraxray sees. #space #science https://twitter.com/megwatzke/status/1243161851057201153/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64057
