Come with me on a tour of the @SMUPhysics Department! https://t.co/5dTRYAnE1R Some fun facts about the video: 1. One take 2. No script 3. Yes, there is such a thing as homework at the college level that is different from the high school level. 4. Made with open source tools. -

From NASA https://twitter.com/NASA on Twitter: Beautiful Mars! Our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter launched 15 years ago today to study the Red Planets atmosphere, weather, subsurface water, and more.

UNC-Chapel Hill launches in person despite coronavirus crisis Ambassadors at the doors to tell you which way to go. Traffic pattern markings. And that is just from the front door to the classroom. You need a multimedia team for what happens next. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/unc-chapel-hill-launches-in-person-despite-coronavirus-crisis/2020/08/11/972681b2-da38-11ea-809e-b8be57ba616e_story.html -

While my county, Collin, is apparently headed in the right direction with total tests... the state as a whole seems to be in trouble. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1292962030194917379 -

COVID-19 cases in Collin County, TX, are shooting up... but this appears to be driven by a recent surge in testing. The County now reports about 3000 tests/day, up from 1000/day just last week. This drives positivity rate from 16% to 7%. Will take time to settle this out. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1292977584683266049/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66991 -

Human health is the foundation of both education and research. Without human health, you can have neither learning nor discovery. Let us work to first preserve human health, so that we can have all the other things that depend upon it. -
