      Last Lectures at SMU: Alien Life and the Probability of Life
      By steve from The Adventures of My Pet Hamster
      When I delivered Parts 1 and 2 of the last lecture of Physics 1303 (Introduction to Mechanics) on May 2 and 3, 2022, I had an inkling that these might be my last ever lectures to SMU undergraduates…

    Since news of @profcooley's selection as the next Executive Director @SNOLABscience is now public, we can talk about all the other things going on in our life. For example... Know anyone looking to buy a house in the Dallas area? We have one for you! https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1124-Hampton-Dr_Allen_TX_75013_M82747-34243?ex=2944379997

    This report from the AIP is worth several reads. It is especially helpful as a guide for people to understand why certain behaviors (put downs, implicit assumptions, etc) are negative and can easily cross into harassment: https://www.aip.org/statistics/reports/exploring-harassment-and-discrimination-experiences-astronomy

      Ancient footprints in New Mexico raise questions about when humans inhabited North America
      from PBS NewsHour
      When humans first populated North America and how they arrived has long been a matter of spirited debate. A recent study detailing what archeologists believe are the oldest known footprints in the United States is sparking new questions and upending long-held beliefs. Stephanie Sy reports.

      First evidence for off-shell production of the Higgs boson and measurement of its width
      from arXiv.org
      The first evidence for off-shell Higgs production is reported in the final state with two Z bosons decaying into either four charged leptons (muons or electrons), or two charged leptons and two neutrinos, and a measurement of the Higgs boson width is performed. Results are based on data from the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 140 fb$^{-1}$. The total rate of off-shell Higgs boson production beyond the Z boson pair production threshold, relative to its standard model expectation, is constrained to the interval [0.0061, 2.0] at 95% confidence level. The scenario with no off-shell production is excluded at 99.97% confidence level (3.6 standard deviations). The width of the Higgs boson is extracted as $Γ_{\mathrm{H}}$ = 3.2$_{-1.7}^{+2.4}$ MeV, in agreement with the standard model expectation of 4.1 MeV. The data are also used to set new constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings to W and Z boson pairs.
