From Jukebox_jackie on Twitter: My physics teacher has arranged a school trip to @CERN and I would love to go! Seeing the accelerators which I have read about and studied for these past 2 years would be wonderful. #GirlsInSTEM #STEM #STEMeducation https://personal.eftours.com/secure/make-donation.aspx?poid=D321A9F7&utm_medium=web&utm_source=paxsecure&utm_campaign=fundraising https://twitter.com/Jukebox_jackie/status/1044025255902277632/video/12018-09-24T02:12:31Z via NavierStokes To: Public
From Jukebox_jackie on Twitter: SMU visit was a success! I got to visit Ajax & Dr.BP. But the visit made me quite happy. I'm glad to know I am supported everywhere I go. Many thanks to Dr. Stephen Sekula for encouraging me to pursue my dream job. ⚛💕 https://twitter.com/Jukebox_jackie/status/1043957886228090880/photo/12018-09-24T02:12:19Z via NavierStokes To: Public

Well, if I get canned in the next three weeks I'll be thinking about things. Unemployment doesn't really pay out much for "Acts Of State" when the Congress and the President get into deadlocks like the one that seems to be brewing. Clock is running: https://timeanddate.com/s/3jkr

From crystalbennes on Twitter: Oh my GOD! A friend in Helsinki took some proper photos of my CERN stained-glass window in its new permanent home at Aalto University and it looks AMAZING! You can finally see all the colours properly. I'm so made up. Also, I still can't believe I actually *made* this. https://twitter.com/crystalbennes/status/1041745484824682497/photo/12018-09-18T11:21:54Z via NavierStokes To: Public

From Dr_JimGates on Twitter: In 2019 I will have graduated from high school 50 yrs ago! I often think about how so much has happened that I couldn't even dream of as wishes. A lot of this I owe to my high school #physics teacher, Mr. Coney.

On the first homework, #PHYS1303 students investigated time using a pulsar. Learn more about the story of their discovery: “She made the discovery, but a man got the Nobel. A half-century later, she’s won a $3 million prize.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2018/09/08/she-made-discovery-man-got-nobel-half-century-later-shes-won-million-prize/?noredirect=on https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1038777280535965697/photo/12018-09-07T20:41:50Z via NavierStokes To: Public
