I haven't been using Canvas (for practical and ideological reasons). But some colleagues were asking about how to email their large lecture courses now that canvas is down. Here's what works at @ucriverside.bsky.social (your mileage may vary).

Here's an application of birdtrack notation to prove a curvature tensor identity. It is identical to index notation, but I find the diagrammatic proof easier to follow once I picked up the rules. This is a solution to exercise [14.10] in Penrose's Road to Reality.

This month and next month our Phy-Sci Book club is reading a couple of books ahead of Earth Day. Next week we're discussing Rachel Carson's classic, Silent Spring. The book continues to hold its own as remarkable feat of accessible science writing 63 years after its original publication.
The last few generations of particle physicists, especially those on the model-building side, have learned field theory without an emphasis on the analytic properties of scattering. Sebastian Mizera's lecture notes an excellent resource: arxiv.org/abs/2306.05395
Physics of the Analytic S-Matrix
You might've heard about various mathematical properties of scattering amplitudes such as analyticity, sheets, branch cuts, discontinuities, etc. What does it all mean? In these lectures, we'll take a...

Yesterday we had a fantastic Teachers' Conference at @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social, "This is Particle Theory." The event brings together high school physics teachers to connect to the big ideas in research at the KITP. This year it was associated with our "What is Particle Theory" workshop.
Applications are open for the IAIFI Summer School on AI+Physics. iaifi.org/phd-summer-s... #physics #machine-learning
4 weeks in and the "What is Particle Theory" workshop at KITP has been fantastic. www.kitp.ucsb.edu

One of my favorite publications, the American Journal of Physics, has an open access resource letter on dark matter. It's a great place to get started when looking to navigate the review literature in the field. pubs.aip.org/aapt/ajp/art...

Editor's Note: One of the most interesting mysteries of physics is that of the invisible matter in the universe. This so-called dark matter makes up a larg

Is there etiquette for reposting revised versions of my own social media threads from other platforms? Should I provide a citation at the end of a thread to the original?
@astrophysikerin.bsky.social and @emily.space: thank you for providing the invite to bring me to to Bluesky!
