Emily Conover

@adamconover Thanks, brother!

Amazing piece by my sister @emcconover on how quantum computers are going to transform cryptography. Read it.

I loved editing this story by @emcconover and legit screamed with joy when she sent me the photo that goes with it.

@hadriancho Very touching story, Adrian! And really interesting to hear about the history of the APS.

Argonne National Lab has begun a rebuild of the Advanced Photon Source, the x-ray synchrotron for which my father led the design work. A look how one cantankerous soul found his place in the small community of scientific machine builders. Love you, Dad. science.org/content/articl…

Really cool story by @ScienceNews @emcconover about a particular tile shape that can be used to completely cover an infinite plane without ever forming a pattern that repeats itself. Yeah, it kind of does my head in, too. Wish I'd written this. sciencenews.org/article/mathem…

@andy_hilton Well, another way of thinking about it is that your pattern only repeats once. That's not the normal definition of a pattern. A true pattern should repeat over and over indefinitely.

@emcconover Hmm, maybe I don't understand the definition of a pattern here. I assumed the general definition of the direct adjacent and repeated orientation of an objects shape. Maybe I'm looking at this too hard.

@emcconover Hey Emily, I had a question on your repeating pattern piece at sciencenews. Doesn't this pattern repeat or do I misunderstand the intent?

@GeorgiaWild WANT! 🫴 Please!

reply with a 🫴 and we'll give you a native species

Hi! I'm going to be away from Twitter and the physics beat for a bit, because... I had a baby! She's very cute, but as far as I can tell, not at all interested in subatomic particles, gravitational waves, etc. We are working on it.

@richardsima woah, I missed your earlier announcement, congrats!!!

First day of school vibes

@goes_by_kim @ykarenkwon Congrats and welcome to DC!

@ykarenkwon Yep, I've relocated! But unfortunately I've been housebound due to COVID, then others in my household getting it.🤦‍♀️It never ends... I would love to meet all the DC folks once all this has boiled over!

A belated career news update: I've joined @cenmag as a life sciences reporter! I've teamed up with @marshalljessica @GinaCVitale to cover all things biotech & pharma. Are you working on drug discovery? Or a PR in the biosciences? I'd love to connect with you! 👉s_kim@acs.org

Yes! Add to this the fact that cats are actually *terrible* at killing rats, which is one way people try to justify keeping cats outside @adamconover sciencenews.org/article/feral-…

@Arboreal_Laurel I'm so jealous!

@Timondelaplaya Thank you!

@emcconover Read your article last night. Great science writing and reporting! Annnd, you’re a very good book reviewer. You have some real gifts.

Happy Higgsiversary, everyone! 🎆🎇🎂🎉🥳 #Higgs10 sciencenews.org/article/higgs-…

Attention science writers and communicators! @DCSWA is having our Professional Development Day on July 23, both in-person and online! We are excited to have panels on making podcasts and video, dealing with harassment, and more! Deets + registration here: dcswa.org/event/professi…

What we've learned in the 10 years since the Higgs boson discovery and what is still to come from the @CMSExperiment @ATLASexperiment at the @CERN LHC by @emcconover

Post-Roe litigation will swirl around medication abortion, and whether states can ban an FDA-approved drug. If they can't, abortion pills could be protected nationwide. If they can, states might start restricting other drugs too. My latest @gridnews grid.news/story/science/…

Really informative breakdown of how scientific misunderstandings are used to support abortion restrictions. From @ScienceNews sciencenews.org/article/aborti…
