   When teaching is forced to go from in-person to digital, communication is a crucial teaching task. I've been using bulletins in Canvas to do this for my classes. I've also spun up a podcast: https://t.co/MB1ENJMQfJ for our uncertain times. Short tales of physics life.

   "Training Day" SMU is running two straight days of online faculty training for teaching digitally in the next few week. I spent a good part of today in various Zoom sessions, listening to rundowns of how to use certain features for certain purposes. The most useful thing, though, was hearing the concerns about mapping in-person teaching into â*¦ Continue reading "Traini…

   "The Joy of the Muon" Muons are a gateway drug. They are just difficult enough to detect that they are really not obvious to humans. They are just easy enough to stop in material that, once you learn to spot them, you want to stop them and watch them do what they do. What do muons do? They decay. In about 2 â*¦ Continue reading "The Joy of the Muon" http://status.hacker…

    Having an unnecessary amount of fun measuring the muon lifetime remotely accessing a detector in the hallway in the basement of Fondren Science Building. Shout out to my colleagues Tom Coan and Jingbo Ye on the detector, and @smuoit's Guillermo Vasquez for the RPi connection. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1239995241203195905/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/63652

    Accomplishments for the day: in addition to getting advice from the SMU high-performance computing experts on how to use ManeFrame II like a boss, I did a podcast for my #PHYS3305 students and wrote a newsletter for them for release tomorrow. Also, verified the muon lifetime.
