SAVE THE DATE! On Wednesday, March 25, be part of LSU Giving Day and help create real impact. Your gift supports students, faculty, and researchers as they pursue new opportunities, breakthroughs, and discoveries that extend beyond our campuses. ✨ give.lsufoundation.org/lsu-giving-day…

@LSU Astrophysicist Eric Burns is leading an investigation of a gamma-ray burst detected on July 2, 2025 that may expand on what scientists know about these powerful cosmic explosions. ✨Learn more here: lsu.edu/physics/news/b… @LSUResearch @NASA #WBTTW #LSUScience

Congratulations to Prof. Mette Gaarde @LsuPhysics on being named an LSU Boyd Professor! 🎉 An internationally recognized leader in physics, she is also the Fall 2025 LSU College of Science Commencement Speaker. 🔗 bit.ly/4ajnVFB

Because liquids lack fixed structure, their ultrafast solute–solvent interactions have been difficult to study. A team from @OhioState & @LSU shows that high-harmonic spectroscopy can reveal molecular handshakes. Learn more about the @PNASNews study: lsu.edu/science/news/2…

In the latest @Microboone result, the collaboration used one detector and two beams to study neutrino behavior, ruling out the single sterile neutrino model with 95% certainty. news.fnal.gov/2025/12/microb…

This SUNDAY. You won't want to miss it 🤭

New MicroBooNE result in Nature! We exclude, at 95% CL, the 3+1 explanation of the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies, as well as regions allowed by the gallium and Neutrino-4 anomalies. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Some great images from our science colloquium yesterday.
