It was also so cool to present work on LIGO at the University of Maryland due to its connections to experimental physics, general relativity, and as the place of Joseph Weber's initial attempts to detect gravitational waves!

Huge thank you to the Miller Center at University of Maryland and @cjamesbonner for the truly invigorating book chapter workshop today!! So many excellent questions and insights prompting me to grapple with themes and methods in my book project in truly interesting ways!

I also provided some historical information related to the scoping and material included in the program. Huge thanks to David Kaiser for recommending to the Nova team to include me!

Shameless self-plug. I will be making a very brief appearance on the upcoming episode of PBS Nova, "Decoding the Universe: Quantum"! It is scheduled to air at 9:00 pm ET, Wednesday, November 6, 2024, on PBS and on their YouTube channel. (This is the day after the election!)

We have a telescope!🤩 Last week, summit staff successfully installed Rubin Observatory's combined primary/tertiary mirror. With all three mirrors & the commissioning camera in place, we officially—for the first time in 15 years of construction—have a complete telescope!🥳 🧵

In summary, simply collapsing LIGO's site selection to focus at the federal level provides an inaccurate picture of how the sites of large-scale science facilities are chosen and how they affect local and surrounding communities and environments.

Curious about how @LIGO's sites were selected? My dissertation provides the fascinating history! Many years of work that is result of my unique combination of history of science and physics, law, and environmental history expertise. #ligo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/37373… #siteselection #histstm
