A moment I still remember from undergad classes: in a discussion section for first quarter QM, another student complained that she was tired of the harmonic oscillator. The TA said, "I have some bad news," and then turned and wrote on the board: Everything is a harmonic oscillator

Free, unsolicited advice for physics students: many things will go more smoothly for you if you can derive and explain the simple harmonic oscillator in your sleep

We’re going to damage American competitiveness for a generation. We’re eroding our standard of living so the richest people ever to live can pay even less in taxes.

BREAKING: The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes. It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

🚨 Many NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are being cancelled for Summer 2025. www.reddit.com/r/REU/commen...

WE JUST GOT DOGE’D no funding for this year. We have to cancel the program and email 450 applicants there will be no REU program in physics at MSU. First time in 20+ years. I’m fucking livid, y’all.

Ours seems like it might be. We’re in limbo. I wrote my rep about it. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 #physicssky #astrosky

Just in time for Christmas!

Great to see that our book is finally out in RSC Soft Matter Series on Active Colloids If you want to learn more about how active colloids move and can be designed, this is a great starting point. @wuspal.bsky.social @jsimmchen.bsky.social @WeiWang #softmatter #activematter 🧪⚛️💡

Quang made Active Matter Mead for our lab's holiday party. Fuel for glucose-powered chemical microswimmers?

I thought of a sneaky way to find my people on this thing. Self-identify and I will add you... See you at APS-DFD! go.bsky.app/8Njfprh

Seems like a critical mass is finally migrating over here..? Getting fed up with what's being pushed into my feed at X, the Everything Reprehensible App
