I really don’t get last minute maintenance issues on long haul flights that arrived almost 24 hours ago, you think someone could have looked at the plane in the intervening day United Airlines

Feels like a double whammy after the NSF S4 announcement to see this from the German government about FCC

BREAKING: PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS REPITCH ENCAMPMENT ON SOUTH LAWN DURING ANNUAL ALUMNI REUNION columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/05/3…

I wrote a piece for @researcheurope on FCC and Germany: cc Martin Bauer Paolo Valente

My latest: CERN is pushing to build a new 90km megacollider. Germany, which contributes more than 20% of CERN’s budget, says it “cannot support funding of the project at this point” nature.com/articles/d4158…

Particle colliders have helped physicists build out the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Muons - electron's heavier cousin - could provide insights in the future. News from Science describes scientists' interest in researching a muon collider Fermilab: science.org/content/articl…

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A

I want to share the famous OMB memo on the future of NASA funding from '71 but let me preface it first:

Obnoxiously naive 🇺🇸 tourist strolling up to border control like

US HEP folks! Interested in working on a future Muon Collider? Now's your chance! Come to the inaugural US Muon Collider Meeting and find some cool open tasks to get involved in! *Registration deadline Wednesday!* indico.fnal.gov/e/usmc2024/

Could also apply to P5 implementation progress by DOE and NSF so far 🤔

The parent company of Orion and Meade telescope manufacturers has shut its California offices. Stay tuned for updates. buff.ly/4cYyig8

The summary of the German particle physics community workshop that took place in May in Bonn is now available. "..., an alternative collider project at CERN needs to be identified to address the open fundamental questions in case the FCC-ee would not be built at CERN."

Congrats to the MICE authors, in particular colleague Frank Filthaut nature.com/articles/s4156…

🇨🇳🇺🇸Tsung-Dao (T. D.) Lee, a Chinese-American Nobel laureate in physics known for his work on parity violation and the Lee-Yang theorem, died on August 5, 2024, at the age of 95. In 1957, Lee, at the age of 31, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. He became the youngest Nobel laureate

Just in case you were wondering if the #usmcc was well attended, we can confirm community excitement is strong!

This was a great meeting with incredible enthusiasm and physics! Hopefully we can make the dream of a Muon Collider come true Fermilab

For accelerator physicists Stony Brook University has a tenure track search this year. Work on advancing accelerator physics for future colliders such as the EIC which will be housed at BNL , Higgs factories, or 10 TeV pCM(e.g. Muon Collider ) is especially welcome: apply.interfolio.com/153473

Pre-CDR, CDR, TDR now we add the I have concepts of a plan stage

A privilege to have David Gross give this years Yang colloquium Stony Brook University on 50 years of QCD AKA “a perfect theory”
