   From vicgrinberg@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Physics World has talked to me about my science and about all the things I do as a scientist that are not my science - climate activism and Astronomers for Planet Earth ( @ a4e ), my art and outreach in general :) If podcasts are your thing, you may like this one (also download able on all usual # podcast sources): ▶️ http…

   From astro_jcm@mastodon.online on Mastodon: The new 4.2 version of # Mastodon includes significant improvements in the search function! My favourite one, which I've been using a lot lately to find new people to follow, is that profile search now works on bios too and not just the user name. So if you type, say, "astronomer", "scicomm" or "journalist", you'll find people w…

   … and just like that, my # Mastodon instance is running the brand new and shiny version 4.2! Painless upgrade and I’ve made sure to mark my profile so that my public posts can be found by broader search. I hope 4.2 is the next step in the evolution of the # ActivityPub and Mastodon communities being able to better connect!

   I am VERY excited for tomorrow: we have the first @ SNOLAB Research Division retreat. We are gathering at # LaurentianUniversity to share ideas, advocate for new directions, and build a stronger community … within the division and with partners across the laboratory and our community. I don’t know what will come from this, but it will be a beautiful journey.

    From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Periodic PSA! I use lots of graph paper, so I made a LaTeX template to print my own. It was so handy that @ duetosymmetry and I turned it into a LaTeX package. There are various grid styles (graph, quadrille, hex, iso, dot grid, etc), and both custom and pre-defined color schemes. Use it to easily print your own paper, or to make p…

    Interested in introductory # physics at the # university level? Check out my lecture playlist from when I taught Physics I (PHYS 1303/1307) at Southern Methodist University. The # lectures each focus on a topic and so can be cherry-picked, etc. I taught using a flipped classroom model, with peer mentoring and active learning during class. https:// http://status.hackerposs…

    We had a LOVELY # rainbow after the rainstorms yesterday. It was nice to be able to see the effect from end to end across a wide part of the sky. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/913808ed7a2cdadf63e4e97f34b0d1579a617533b0be6dc1ea4daa58be1a7d75/view

    Two # Sunday activities: setting up a # PeerTube instance at home and staining the back deck. A sudden downpour and lightning and thunder ruined one of these activities. :-) # HomeImprovement # Federate

    I’m just going to say it: the best part of open-source federated social media is that you know the version number of the software you are using to share! I celebrate that # mastodon has reached release candidate 1 of version 4.2.0! (Also, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how awesome it is that we are “allowed” to edit posts and fix grammatical and spelling mistakes?)
