Had a nice long run today. Not bad, considering the temperature was 79F at the start and the heat index made it worse than that, cooling-wise. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mdImJnXVD/?igshid=111hr4qx870he -

Doodles for my lecture on the path to General Relativity. How I wish it were possible to just say Ricci Tensor or Christoffel Symbol... :-) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1h3aY7HB8o/?igshid=i31s0swnv9on -

Shot some B-roll footage for Modern Physics lectures today. This snippet was the last thing I needed for the dedicated lecture video on muons as a test of relativity. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hZUfjHXHC/?igshid=3dm3qj69enlb -

Excited about the @CTESMU event this morning! Hopefully will help inspire me for #ModernPhysics, especially to get me through my final push on Relativity lecture video prep (oh, gravitational redshift... you terrible wonder) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1164890854521212928/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/60837 -

A beautiful interference pattern from shooting a red laser through calcite and taking advantage of some optics to create multiple path lengths and a split beam. Thanks to Randy Scalise for a fun afternoon! @ SMU... https://www.instagram.com/p/B1cQwiHHfsP/?igshid=1e5tyhonngn2z -

First run, after returning from Wisconsin, in the morning heat and humidity in Texas. It was 81F at 7am when I left the house. It hurt. But it was so worth it. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XHN-UnQ-b/?igshid=y14mh5e9rxw3 -

Did not get as much recording of lecture videos done today as I would have liked (only 3), but it was a good start and in a beautiful location - on Lake Michigan at Carthage College. Thanks to my host, Prof. Brian... https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NNl6GH2ob/?igshid=1fetp39xiqeu6
