Had an awesome 12 hour shift in the underground lab yesterday. Took time to visit the future site of the # PICO -500 experiment. It will be constructed inside this water shield tank, formerly home to the MINICLEAN # darkmatter search experiment. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/13e43e9cee837974a0e57ca319a8d9a4a178271a134fcd9b7fe0c12c32f36feb/view -

From StellaLunaObs@mastodon.online on Mastodon: SUNSPOT COUNTS HIT A 21-YEAR HIGH: It's official: The average # sunspot number in June 2023 hit a 21-year high. Solar Cycle 25 has shot past its predecessor, # Solar Cycle 24, and may be on pace to rival some of the stronger cycles of the 20th century. Full story @ Spaceweather.com -

Womp womp. The gutting of the # twitterverse continues unabated. Joking aside, it breaks my heart to watch the tools I once used to manage my social network engagement wither and die as a corruption tears through the heart of the underlying theory and architecture. This is like watching a social virus spread and kill, choking and murdering the things that people worked fo… -

It's warm in # Sudbury today, but I managed a nice run. It's very humid, but not too hot (yet). Did not manage to run the full 4K but happy I got out. One foot in front of the other ... and repeat! I am really hoping we get some rain this afternoon. The South End of # Sudbury has not been winning the lottery on rain this weekend, even while other parts of Greater Sudbury did see some. -

An excellent perspective from my colleague and boss at # SNOLAB , and particularly close to my heart as graduate support has been a deep concern, and project, of mine since before I was Physics Graduate Director and then Department Head at SMU in Dallas ... and the challenge is even bigger here in Canada: "The Research Economy Constrains the Impact ad Pace of Canadian Inn… -

Went to breakfast first thing this morning. Five minutes after the place had opened, we were still the first people in the door. We had the place to ourselves for almost an hour before anyone else showed up. Normally, the place is packed on a weekend. When people clear out and go to camp for Canada Day, they really clear out and go to camp. I feel like we had the city to ourselves this morning! -

A full day of work with students and colleagues reenergized me after a crummy Thursday. I am grateful to the students especially for the energy and insights they bring to their work ... and the quality of the puzzles they generate. -
