From keratx on Twitter: The Delta variant of the coronavirus is spreading so quickly, it's likely the strain will become predominant in the U.S. within weeks. The most contagious yet among those not yet vaccinated, it already accounts for at least 14% of all new infections. https://www.keranews.org/health-wellness/2021-06-22/delta-variant-of-the-coronavirus-could-dominate-in-u-s-within-weeks https://twitter.com/keratx/status/1407438256527003653/photo/12021-06-22T20:51:53Z via NavierStokes To: Public

Fun fact: I bought this cup in Geneva, Switzerland in the summer of 1998 when I spent the summer working at CERN before starting graduate school. I needed a reusable coffee cup since I was drinking a lot of CERN coffee. I have kept it ever since. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1405881677986123777/photo/12021-06-18T12:21:01Z via NavierStokes To: Public

A great measurement provokes some fun reflection on science, physics history, and the roads ahead.

Every day I wake up - the sun shining through the gaps in the blinds in the windows, birds singing their morning songs, an surrounded by the warmth of family - I am reminded of a simple truth of my life: I fucking hate memory management in C++.2021-06-06T00:51:05Z via NavierStokes To: Public
We are having some right proper summer thunderstorms here. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1401338295402041345/photo/12021-06-02T00:10:57Z via NavierStokes To: Public
After a two week break, it was great to be refreshed and back at SMU to start summer research with one of the 4 students I will be working with this summer. Looking forward to ramping up work with the others and getting into a regular work rhythm again.Annual modulation results from three-year exposure of ANAIS-112.

I was so happy that @profcooley and I could welcome a few current or future graduate students to our home for a cookout. It was great to catch up with people in person and to just be able to be people again.2021-05-29T22:51:13Z via NavierStokes To: Public

The other troopers of this season are the potato plants that sprouted from a single half of one potato I planted a few weeks ago. This thing is growing fast and I am optimistic about a good crop of potatoes this time. https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/2021-05-29T22:41:06Z via NavierStokes To: Public
After moving the lemon trees into a small popup greenhouse, one of the trees produced fruit for the first time in 7 or so years. Looks like a bumper crop of lemons for this year! https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/
