I am very happy when I get to spend time talking with students about physics. Thanks to the graduate and undergraduate students who made that possible today. Your curiosity keeps me on my mental toes, constantly thinking about the universe from a different perspective. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1106316220352159744/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55934 -

Here is a pie chart pie we made to visualize the composition of the universe (and also represents the proportions of our friends that prefer dark, milk, and white chocolate) #PiDay2019 https://twitter.com/PhysicsCakes/status/1106236126493327361/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55931 -

It's Pi Day, and I'm working on a #Jupyter/RISE upgrade of my "Pi Monte Carlo" lecture. I'll be guest lecturing on this subject next Tuesday in Prof. Scalise's "Theoretical Methods" course... with a new, shiny, interactive slide deck!

Hmm. An application of Bayes' Theorem here is wise. The probability of being high-achieving and having these routines is not at all guaranteed to be the same as the probability of having these routines and being high-achieving. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1105931178257862656/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55889 -

It was raining this morning, along with scattered thunderstorms. At 11, the skies cleared and were a rich blue. I went for a lovely run around SMU before having lunch with a grad student. And got a bunch of work done today. This was a good day. -

.@HEPFeickert: a timely article, given potential guidelines for submitting your thesis. Faxing is old tech.

I cannot ever fully understand the challenges that women face; but I can celebrate how they have made everything better by increasing the boundaries of knowledge. We are a better species when all of us can be viewed with equality. #InternationalWomensDay http://landing.perimeterinstitute.ca/postergallery https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1104073205923397640/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55761 -

Today is payday for my students in #PHYS1303. Every time I make a mistake in my class, I put a dollar in the mistake jar at the front of the class. Enough mistakes = donuts for the class. It is ok to make mistakes. Admit them. Own them. Learn from them. Don't quit. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1103640934540021768/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55726 -

Actually, given the number of options one can combine on this establishment's menu, there are something like this many finite and countable possibilities... https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1102288504090963969/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55613
