   "Virtual Social Anti-Distancing" I love surprises. I love them more when I know about them but get to share in surprising someone else. It was a real win when I was asked if it was okay for SMU President, Gerald Turner, to drop in on my digital classroom to chat with students. The SMU President is iconic for â*¦ Continue reading "Virtual Social Anti-Distancing" http://s…

   I was pleased to be able to provide some tips to faculty (and students) engaging in educational activities from home on how to secure their environment, their media capture, and the shared video conference environment. No magic bullets; just vigilance. https://twitter.com/smuoit/status/1248243040696795137

   Jodi's cousin, Greg, sent us home over the Christmas break with some blue potatoes. I kept a few smaller ones for seeds, and this is the first new plant since I potted the potatoes a few weeks ago. Hey there. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1248346462443974658/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64512

   C'mon, you know you've missed it: the measurement of the muon lifetime! We've passed 600 hours of integrated, good quality data from the detector at SMU. Still digging some of the statistical deviations in these bins, but don't read too much into statistical fluctuations. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1248027927071076357/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64493

   So excited to welcome @SMU President Gerald Turner to @SMUPhysics #PHYS3305 yesterday! This is how we stay a campus community in these difficult times. Oh, and my student's invite stands: drop in any time to solve the Schroedinger Wave Equation! :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89KGeF0ox44

    Today in #PHYS3305, we are going to dive into the expectation value and the computation of uncertainty from the wave function and operator picture. While the expectation value can give you the typical outcome, it's important to prepare for the rare. If it can happen, it will. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1247554465613393920/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64461

    #HonorsPhysics students measured the speed of light using chocolate bars and microwaves (F=2.45GHz) in their homes tonight. Safely bypass rotating plate, heat chocolate for 1 minute, measure distance (D) between melty spots, calculate 2DF. Averaged to within 20% of correct value!

    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

    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
