Very excited about @ferpsihas visiting @SMUPhysics tomorrow and presenting her perspectives on deep learning and neutrino physics. Thanks to @Jukebox_jackie for introducing us! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1064248204802359302/photo/12018-11-18T17:31:58Z via NavierStokes To: Public
From NASASun on Twitter: It's #SunDay! ☀️ Our Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite saw the Moon pass in front of its view of the Sun on Nov. 7. Such transits can help scientists calibrate SDO's instruments for better images: https://t.co/vZxvqMZWiU https://twitter.com/NASASun/status/1064188482086678528/video/12018-11-18T15:01:53Z via NavierStokes To: Public
Summer in North Texas means spending a lot of time indoors, or being active but only in the morning; fall and winter really make up for that with beautiful days and lots of outdoors opportunities. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1064170710292209664/photo/12018-11-18T00:51:09Z via NavierStokes To: Public
