    From hfalcke@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Pocket book edition of “Light in the Darkness” arrived. The story of the 1st image of a black hole, that I witnessed first hand, but which already started when we first looked at the night sky and wondered about its secrets. You learn a great deal about astrophysics and the philosophical questions surrounding it. It was a #4 bestseller in Germany, has 4.5/5 stars on Amazon and is available in 12 other languages. # astrophysics # BlackHoles # books # bookstodon # astrodon # astrophotography # astronomy

    From dangillmor@mastodon.social on Mastodon: The retirement of my friend @ jeffjarvis from City University of New York's journalism school, which he was instrumental in making into the fine program it is, is a noteworthy transition -- for Jeff and journalism education. https:// medium.com/whither-news/moving -on-4eecb1c76ce3 Jeff's influence has been profound. We haven't always agreed, but that's a good thing! Looking forward to what's next.

    Some lovely recordings of performances in which my sister has participated! She is the # bassoonist circled in green in the image below. She plays a bunch of instruments, and is very active on Instagram both about music and teaching (and cats). https:// youtu.be/qkLGKuUAe3w?si=ZjPyqv _Pgg7CIsZ0 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/176340d17417708b67d3400c85384c7e0f886d91af64890488e1624451ef9e52/view

    From jeffjarvis@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Some personal news: I'm moving on from CUNY's Newmark J-school, officially retiring (but not really) at the end of the term. I am proud of so much accomplished there, which I recount with much thanks here: https:// medium.com/whither-news/moving -on-4eecb1c76ce3

    From megschwamb@mastodon.online on Mastodon: NASA's Physics of the Cosmos, Cosmic Origins, and Exoplanet Exploration Program Analysis Groups have formed a Science Analysis Group on "Astrophysics with Equity: Surmounting Obstacles to Membership". This group will explore how to broaden participation in NASA astrophysics research and education programs. Membership is open to anyone in the community! https:// docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI pQLSfrqlSwFKTI9byZq4aHYescLbemYgFYvcFvYmMkq5_v8109lg/viewform # astrodon

    This day did not go as intended. Things that needed to get done did not, but things that should be done did take their place. Also, I am now sick with a cold. Thanks, travel. :-)

    I am on shift again for the # HALO experiment. This means monitoring the data-taking system twice a day, ensuring hardware is running, and verifying the data integrity. It’s been a pretty nominal shift. There were a bunch of “coincidence” neutron bursts (random coincidences in time). No muon spallation events (where one of the two muons per day that pass through HALO cleaves a nucleus to pieces), and certainly no # supernova bursts. Oh, well! Better luck on the last day of shift! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/b74112f2f2d1a00cbfbd79f76721494f20ccd99a79fe76a77ebb07897cbb8340/view

    Neat video of the # meteor seen yesterday in parts of eastern North America. Since # xitter does not have a useful API or federation capability, I grabbed this video from the # CapitolWeatherGang account using iOS screen capture to demonstrate the folly of walled gardens. No matter how high the wall, there is always a taller ladder. “Vibrant fireball streaks across Mid-Atlantic after record hot day” https://www. washingtonpost.com/weather/202 3/09/03/fireball-meteor-dc-midatlantic-northeast/ https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/c64d0d8a077f861568d384dedd5ea74a951a878ad04cf715ba25da4de00f9c42/view

    A fascinating intersection of multiple scientific spheres: # nuclearphysics , # biology , # chemistry , # ecology , and # statistics : “Scientists finally know why Germany’s wild boar are surprisingly radioactive” https://www. washingtonpost.com/climate-env ironment/2023/09/03/radioactive-wild-boar/ # washingtonpost I do disagree with the scope of the last quote in the article. While it is certainly not possible to put the nuclear genie back in the bottle, there is hard work to clean up its mess.

    A view from the plane as we departed # Vienna this morning. I am getting my muscle memory back when it comes to this intercontinental travelling. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/2a5b82da1a1911de0b96bb094155a909030708343e4da9193a38be76f29a4696/view

    Had a pretty uneventful flight from # Frankfurt to # Vienna . Waiting for my final connection to # Sudbury . Pretty easy trip overall. Did some coding on the plane, watched # DunePartOne , napped... and met some nice folks from Owen Sound!
