Of the great reasons to join the @SMUPhysics department as a PhD student, here is another: @SMU is now one of only two U.S. universities to host an NVIDIA DGX SuperPod. Apply to our graduate program today! #PonyUp https://www.physics.smu.edu/web/degrees/graddegree.html https://twitter.com/SMU/status/14588121238748364802021-11-10T13:21:27Z via NavierStokes To: Public
“Unvaccinated Texans 40 times as likely to die of covid as those fully vaccinated in 2021, study says” … And 45 times more likely just to get infected if also unvaccinated. Science for the win. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/11/09/texas-unvaccinated-deaths-higher-covid/2021-11-05T13:41:03Z via NavierStokes To: Public
This past was an exciting one on @SMU Honors Physics. This was "Hack-a-Thon" week, where students spent class time conducting experiments or doing calculations to help finalize their grand challenge problems on "The Physics of Cartoons." https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1456617006606831622/photo/12021-11-01T17:50:59Z via NavierStokes To: Public
From ATLASexperiment on Twitter: Check out these beautiful new event displays!🎆 On 29 October 2021, the ATLAS Experiment at @CERN recorded low-intensity test collisions. The LHC accelerated proton beams to 'injection energy' – 450 GeV per beam – in preparation for its restart next year. https://twitter.com/ATLASexperiment/status/1455227573093519360/photo/12021-11-01T17:50:58Z via NavierStokes To: Public

Another clue in the hunt for dark matter rocks... Recently awarded an honorary degree by SMU, Dr. Francis Halzen gave a talk about neutrinos in this Dallas Hall auditorium space! #DarkMatterDay2021-10-29T16:30:51Z via NavierStokes To: Public
Join in the hunt for dark matter rocks! Here is yet another clue: In this place, a monument to Diversity, Unity, Integrity, and Harmony, you can sit and be surrounded by our unique students year-round. Tria Ut Unum! #DarkMatterDay2021-10-29T14:31:08Z via NavierStokes To: Public
From SMUPhysics on Twitter: It's Dark Matter Day at SMU! 26 Dark Matter rocks are hidden across the campus (in accessible locations). Can you find one? If so, bring it to Fondren Science Building 102 to claim your prize! (a card is provided with each rock with instructions)2021-10-29T14:00:58Z via NavierStokes To: Public
We have so many EPS conduits to align today, and someone just detected a huge neutrino flux using only a small, handheld device. We are ready for science! Happy Dark Matter Day @SMU! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1454083483052040195/photo/1
