Had a blast at the annual CAP Congress! Judging student presentations was fun but a challenge given how good they all were. Learned a ton about ideas in axions, neutrino experiments, and from new experimental results. Also learned a ton about grant applications to key Canadian agencies. Was thrilled to spend time with some of my new colleagues at dinner last night, swapping stories and ideas. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/111500e78156d1f1fa047f3a9e6f2852361562bd37b551f0dc1a9feb56614729/view

Enjoying coffee in the morning air before heading to the airport. In other news, our backyard grading is complete! We can move on to the landscape design phase. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/9ba3d1e91c9224f6c32bb1a82db63504595e64b75504cc2a28576fb63a59c750/view

A rare treat these days. This is known as an "Oppenheimer". https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/170c06efa999549032bc6d61663ad68d8f782b6035b45fc0cb37502c7df707ee/view

Found this beautiful sleepyhead sunning itself while I was mowing the yard. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/15b43802bd26b35507da0f491855277ad1a302370dcb944c40ae5a0da9793c99/view

"From Sudbury to Fredericton" Tomorrow I will board a plane at the Sudbury airport and, connecting through Toronto, depart for Fredericton, New Brunswick. I am excited about this for at least a two reasons. First, this coming week is the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) annual Congress. The week-long meeting will bring students, post-docs, and career researchers from across [β¦] https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2023/06/17/from-sudbury-to-fredericton/ ( Feed URL: https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/rss ) https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/92007fb9814b70fba3aa517a7b45b451874fb4034a593f3b7cc7ff0148a8e47a/view

On our walk last evening we came across a red-bellied snake, apparently one of the smaller snake varietals in Ontario. It was an extra treat since they are primarily nocturnal. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/2da4500aa1f7c958e2e87140bda0da1f67d0a7f08cdf2b107d538c5a85988b4b/view

After a lovely dinner, @ jodi and I enjoyed a walk in the nearby trails. We particularly wanted to see where the bridge on this boardwalk was out for repairs, and it was gone gone - two barriers separated by a watery gap! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/ac9fedb8d43394a23c0d30cc427551510db5787752f85a792247bb7c2287bab2/view

A nice end to the week. A lovely afternoon, a Steam Whistle, and feet up on a chair on the patio. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/e9f3c56e78cc95f681433f995c50f0da9e0b2321dc94307c01641296b2745abe/view

It has been intellectually invigorating to work with students again. They ask the best questions, leading to deep discussions about the nature of reality, the structure and value of mathematical ideas, and the character of physical law. They also remind me of how to view the universe with fresh eyes. I missed this.

Very excited to go underground to the main lab at # SNOLAB tomorrow. On the menu: some machine learning related work for # HALO and a look at oxygen sensors in the Cube Hall as part of a separate machine learning project with a student. Short day, though: an all-hands meeting starts at noon, so we are up on the 11am cage.

Only 90 minutes left to home. Whew. There is such a thing as sitting in a car (or a plane) too much at my present age. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/c34256e166577580cf5a2df03fc6769b8bd3be8613422a91dd75f7142c175ce2/view
