"CERN Travel Journal: June 10 – 16, 2018"
This was a glorious week at CERN. Being away from the United States for a little while, in place that is both host to the complications of international cooperation and a reminder of how things can actually be when people of different nations cooperate well, has been an out-of-body experience for me as an American. …

Hey! Put down that phone, @profcooley! ;-) (unless, of course, it was to look up some cool thing about cold dark matter... then I stand rebuked) [I stand rebuked no matter what!] https://twitter.com/MBKplus/status/10078180241648148492018-06-16T06:41:20Z via NavierStokes To: Public
Wishing @profcooley a great travel day as she concludes her time at @KITP_UCSB and the cold dark matter program and returns home to Dallas. Bon voyage from @CERN! #proflife https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1007873801365966848/photo/1 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1007873984531255298/photo/12018-06-15T08:11:24Z via NavierStokes To: Public
Very excited to be signing some copies of "Reality in the Shadows" this morning at #CERN. The books are destined for some very lucky students back in the U.S., and made the same trip to CERN that physicists make every day to do research at this frontier facility! @Dr_JimGates https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1007531750006886400/photo/12018-06-14T06:51:58Z via NavierStokes To: Public

From emcconover on Twitter: 100 years ago, mathematician and all-around badass Emmy Noether came up with a theorem (two, actually!) that totally changed physics. If you've never heard of her, read up! And if you have, you're probably a fan, so... also read up! https://www.sciencenews.org/article/emmy-noether-theorem-legacy-physics-math?tgt=nr2018-06-14T06:51:55Z via NavierStokes To: Public

"CERN Travel Journal: June 5 – June 9, 2018"
I’ve decided to use my blog to reflect on my summer research activities as they unfold. I find such reflection not only useful for thinking about what is accomplished and what is not, but also to communicate to an audience some of the aspects of the research life of a particle physicist (at least, one …
