With nuclear proliferation growing while arms-control treaties expire, @realDonaldTrump could leave a lasting mark by starting new nuclear talks with Russia and China, David Gross, @decohere @JuanManSantos and @cosmicpinot explain. bit.ly/467yxET

A true loss to the community. Bob embodied one of the most admirable traits I have been wanting to emulate: focus, diligence, and indifference to optics and fame. Speaking with him made me realize how long a road I still had ahead to become a great scientist like him.

Very sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague astrophysicist Bob Kurucz at CfA. His expertise in stellar atmospheres was legendary. His hours of discussion w me on spectra during SSP coffee was effectively a free graduate level class taught by the grandmaster himself.

Much looking forward to this one.

Wonderful result - first ancient star with robust age (6% error). To be honest, all previous claims are at least a factor of two worse! arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17566 @sifa_astro

RIP Tom Jarrett. You were a role model, friend, & one of my biggest supporters, but most of all, you were one of the most genuinely curious people I've ever met: a true academic & increasingly rare breed of scientist. I'm heartbroken to get this news today. You helped me get here

One of the reasons I love Canberra - walked past this beauty on my way to Oppenheimer last night. Today I read it was built as a result of Aust. Physicist Mark Oliphant - who lobbied for the Manhattan Project & could have easily been included the film. 1/3 abc.net.au/news/2023-08-0…

I have learned something new today!

The current formula sets a minimum two Senators. Once a Territory reaches 6 House seats, a 1 to 2 seat ratio applies and the Territory would get a third Senator.

Early claims of this from another group shown to be fraud. This new group has more respectability but competitors in the field say their data and methods appear sloppy: (references to ArXiV given) science.org/content/articl…
