Oh, now you're just confusing things even more. I was going to reply to @clacke's original post that I've seen both CDNpoli and slightly fewer CANpoli hashtags (I subscribe to both), as well as CNDpoli -- probably for "Canada Poli".
But now @lnxw48a1 pops in with *currency* abbreviations, and that's properly represented as $4.50CAD (maybe "CAnadian Dollar"?)
So should there also be a CADpoli?

I was saddened to hear that Nora Fueten passed away on 10 January 2024. Nora was my campaign manager for the 2019 federal election. Nora was highly qualified for this, as she had previous run in the federal elections in 2011 and 2008 gaining 7% of the vote, the highest ever achieved by a Green Party candidate in Brantford-Brant. During the 2019 campaign Nora was indefatigable. …

From http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24664 on Mastodon: 14 hours to go before we see the first full-color images from the ESA Euclid space telescope. Euclid, the explorer of dark matter, will make a 3D-map of the cosmos by observing billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years, across more than a third of the sky. 5 images will be released tomorrow in a ceremony t…

How to watch the Tuesday @ ec_euclid reveal of their first images! https://www. esa.int/Science_Exploration/Sp ace_Science/Euclid/How_to_watch_the_reveal_of_Euclid_s_first_images_live I plan to watch from 6800ft underground in the @ SNOLAB research laboratory.

We had some absolutely lovely fog on a subzero morning yesterday. Just lovely. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/c970a9beb25c68c68b46b43059afa7882856257f9c99f7bdfb65b48d1ac86a41/view

My # fediversary isn’t until January, but it was certainly this time last year when I realized that it was important to spin up a # Mastodon instance for close friends and family and create a new home in this part of the # fediverse . I wouldn’t get a chance to do that server work until the new year (2023), but I had a failed attempt at a Mastodon server install lying…

My last comment on my non-fiction # books is about that project that has been distracting me from the series I started in 2021. An opportunity arose: to transform some lectures given by my spouse and colleague, @ jodi , into a monograph. Her lectures on # DarkMatter , over several months, were transformed in a book we are calling "The Search for Dark Matter: A Young Scien…

I have been working on the next # book in the series, "Light and the Invisible Cosmos" (based on the lecture I shared earlier, https:// http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24777 ve/111358241005508476 but with an expansion of the history and ideas). However, work on that book has been on pause in lieu of a slightly more ambitious project, which was slowed by our move to Cana…

The University Synthesis Series is intended, so far, to be an e-book series. That could easily change in the future. Part 1 will always be "A Bite of Newton's Apple", implying a taste of the physics without too much mathematical depth. Part 2 will always be the "Core of Newton's Apple", implying we go deep. Both parts explore the subject in complementary ways. # fedibookfair https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/a04caf08b26640b8aea50fda75d3d096518ac2e2df76f2945fe2100f8fdba599/view

We eventually settled on a title for the # book series: the University Synthesis Series. The idea was to blend parts for the general public with parts specialized to help university student solve problems in the subject area. Part 1 of each book will be sold separately from Part 2, and generally accessible. Part 2 will be hard core university physics problem solving on th…

As you can probably guess, at this point the # publisher of "Reality in the Shadows" (also the editor), Otto, saw my special topics lectures on the web. He basically said, "Nice lectures you have there. Be a shame if you turned them into a book series". So after we talked, he grabbed the automatic transcriptions and started editing. We decided to make my Nuclear Medicine …

The beauty of this "special topics" approach was that there is ALWAYS a kernel of introductory or low-level university physics in ANY topic, even topics like # DarkMatter and # quantumphysics This was a way to get the STUDENTS to choose something of wider interest to them and yet STILL deliver essential introductory # physics ideas ... wrapped up in something THEY wanted …
