We had a lovely time # hiking the "Cup and Saucer" trail today. 9.3km in just over 3 hours, with lots of scenic views on the way (especially on the cliff side of the trails). Got a little lost and had a lot of fun with @ jodi ! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/f41e11138f89f68e2f2da46bdb950ab0d44a865e2695526f46072a1f989360ab/view

Having a lovely day in # GoreBay . This place is precisely my pace: slow and happy. Also E=mc^2 on a playground! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/8ab007003a64d751fc0f51ccd2f9cdc1921ad610081601e4f75fa25dc007b01f/view

It was a lovely evening on # ManitoulinIsland . Nice to get some peace and quiet again. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/52a3b62cb973e847a77ef26873db21cfe47a02a0a00216741bf2d5cf9205ed08/view

After a very long day, nearing our destination. This day did not go as hoped. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/db4c2022ff22434f3c37eb7900919905fb5997dabf965d4c11674de58cc8e03f/view

Very excited for the M.Sc. thesis defense today of R. Hill. If successful (of this I have no doubt), he will join me as a Ph.D. Student at # QueensUniversity working on the # PICO bubble chamber # DarkMatter # experiment . We’ll be operating and analyzing PICO-40L (40l of freon, about 70kg of target) this year and next, and constructing PICO-500 (500kg of target) next year. It is an exciting time in the hunt for dark matter!

From helenczerski@fediscience.org on Mastodon: AMERICA and CANADA! The Blue Machine is coming to you, on October 3rd with a different cover but all the same oceanic wonder inside. "Helen Czerski weaves together physics and biology, history and science, in a beautifully poetic way. Fascinating, funny, and deeply moving." - Alice Roberts https:// wwnorton.com/books/the-blue-ma chine I'll be giving talks in NYC, Rhode Island and Jacksonville in the last week of October/first week of Nov. Details to follow. # books # ocean # science

So happy to be on vacation this week. Leaving for Manitoulin Island later today. Looking forward to some peace and quiet and fewer interruptions.

From evan@cosocial.ca on Mastodon: # ActivityPub is the default social networking protocol because we took the time to standardise it at the W3C. You don't have to be part of the W3C to build on top of ActivityPub. You can make extensions and new applications without ever dealing with a formalised standards organisation. But the benefit of having the W3C behind us is crystal clear. There have been dozens of distributed social networks, and none has gotten as much traction as AP and AS2.

Enjoying # Sunday afternoon on our very recently stained back deck. Love this view. Looking forward to putting in the back yard next year after we settle on the designs. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/6c0b41294d93c521c44d0191e4daf27996f82f854fa1cd0bf811057cebc39486/view

From Morvven@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Some artists use paint and a brush, this guy uses leaves and a rake! These drawings are created by raking leaves. Every fall Nikola Faller, academic sculptor and land artist creates these magic images.

From StellaLunaObs@mastodon.online on Mastodon: The first person to touch the OSIRIS-REx sample return capsule since 2016 checks it for safety and applies protective covers. She prepared it for a quick helicopter ride to a mobile clean room where it will be secured, nitrogen-purged, and shipped off to the Johnson Space Center for sample analysis. Screen grab from NASA video.
