Love it, so true ✨ and the truth is hopeful & inspiring ✨

"There’s the famous saying that when you’re a carpenter, every problem looks like a nail. I guess when a rising politician centers her brand on her time as a Navy helicopter pilot, every crisis starts to look like Iraq."

One of the many reasons so many of us fight for justice in the US. In honor of Medgar Evers. #tdih 1963 WWII vet Medgar Evers was murdered by white supremacist in driveway outside his home in Jackson.

Second generation periodic table of the elements 💘 Only charm-strange quarks. Some day, people are going to do this!! Then third gen!!

All of this LHCb work is brilliant, love it. Naming patterns, do not love. They obscure identities! Eg, the ssc baryon called Omega^0_c. This is a 2nd generation neutron! Gens are (u d), (c s), (t b). 3rd gen neutron is tbb. Lots of cross-gen hybrids. But many baryons are fancy protons and neutrons!

I love this ⚡ Every label conjures up so much!

Truth to Power. Grazie mille to the witnesses outside of Delaney Hall 💜.

The points Chanda makes. Crystal vision. "Because these guys don’t have tattoos: they have missiles and fighter jets and a target population that they’ve been murdering. On balance I think that’s probably worse, but hey I’m just a Black Jew who’s thought about it!"

Belfast stepping up just like Minnesota. The battle against fascism and xenophobia is worldwide.

I'm so glad you do! I feel strongly about it because it is easier to study them in the context of 2nd gen neutron, 2nd gen proton, excited 2nd gen neutron, etc. Connections & insights come easy: 2nd gen neutron + 2nd gen proton => 2nd gen deutron!! There are shared properties and predictions!
