On shift for the NA62 experiment at CERN - oh, the glamour!

@LordRennard Here here. Remembering you Mum from long ago.

Tobacco smoking helped to make me an orphan at the age of 16. It causes much harm beyond that to the smokers themselves (50% of whom will die as a result of their habit). It is fantastic to see the Tobacco and Vapes Bill returned to Parliament today, the first step on a road to a smokefree country"

@ab_drake @jps_astro Terrible - hope it returns

Someone nicked the planetarium.. isn't that horrible!?!?

@HertsPolice @jps_astro @UniofHerts Shocking - I hope it is recovered, they have worked with us using it for several years. They don’t deserve this.

Diwali greetings to all. May your light shine on…

@MamaPhysikerin @on_lothianbuses “they line to drive in convoys, They’re most gregarious…”

Is it bus twinning day @on_lothianbuses? Every route seems to be coming in pairs! Currently on the 11 following another 11.

An early form of cloud computing was developed to contend with the immense data storage and processing required for the LHC. The worldwide LHC computing grid was invented to connect computers so that physicists to analyse data using national datacentres WLCG activity in 2017

Part of what we’ve been up to. Upward fluctuation or new physics? Time and more data will tell. lancaster.ac.uk/news/na62-expe…

@Manics @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Bring a brolly!

Manic Street Preachers hit the stage at 6:30pm for #R2InThePark in Preston today, with a set that includes the debut performance of new single ‘Decline & Fall’. Listen on @BBCSounds Watch on @BBCiPlayer.

@katelamble @maitlis A sad loss

Today is my last day at the BBC. To be totally open, I’m being made redundant Whether running More Or Less during the pandemic, reporting on Grenfell & the climate, I’m extraordinarily proud of my work Public service broadcasting can be engaging & essential & I hope to continue

Some nice A-Level Physics teaching resources here, from Lancaster University 🙂 #measuring-the-em-ratio-547156-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lancaster.ac.uk/sci-tech/about…

@PhysicsStrath Dr. Licia Ray of @LancUniPhysics will be joining us in October for a visit to Jupiter, the king of the planets, to explore how it connects to its environment and produces spectacular aurorae! 📅: Wed 30 October 🕖: 1900 🎫: glasgowsciencecentre.org/whats-on/david…

Oh the joys of parking in Morrison’s car park. No note with contact details (let alone an apology). Hey ho

As @PhysicsNews says, increase in pupils taking A Level Physics encouraging, but the proportion of girls is still miserably low iop.org/about/news/iop…

In addition to our #NSSRockStar status (3rd in Teaching & 2nd in Academic Support for Physics in the UK!), we are also in the top 10 of each of the three subject league tables*! #SubjectLeagueTableRockStars *The Times 2024, Guardian 2024 & Complete University Guide 2025

NA62 announces its first search for long-lived particles CERN’s kaon factory pushes the energy frontier to probe uncharted #physics territories. The collaboration recently presented the results of its first search for long-lived new #physics particles – a #DarkMatter candidate – at #ICHEP2024. The voiceover in this video was extracted from an old interview with NA62 former technical coordinator Ferdinand Hahn (1959–2018). Find out more: home.cern/news/news/phys…
