Does the fact that financial firms hire particle physicists point to a secret Manhattan Project at SUNY Stony Brook University? If it does, @superconformal.bsky.social points out that Wall Street must be Los Alamos. Clip: youtube.com/shorts/mj5XmYeeNSU Full: youtube.com/watch?v=wXMQRz5h1bo ⚛️🧪

Guiding protons around the Large Hadron Collider doesn't have to be just a tough engineering challenge! Take control of those pesky electric and magnetic fields with your phone! ⚛️🧪

Filtering Higgs Boson candidates from backgrounds is conceptually very simple and can be a fantastic and fun work out 😅🏋️‍♂️ ⚛️🧪

At the end of April this year, I got to take my highly interactive, fast paced, and energetic particle physics show "Hunting the Higgs" back to @cern.bsky.social . Here's the full recording of the show. Do you have what it takes to "Hunt the Higgs"? Link: youtube.com/watch?v=yIoF... ⚛️🧪

Christian Ferko - and many others - have noticed that there is a very well trodden rhetorical path in contrarian "science" communication circles. Have you noticed it? Why does it recur so often? Clip: youtube.com/shorts/SbIuc... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=J7lL... ⚛️🧪

Preview clip of a wider discussion on private funding of science. Is Google really eating the public sector's lunch in science? Not so fast says @livlanes.bsky.social Private companies and academia fulfil different roles. Clip: youtube.com/shorts/Ukgaq... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=_Fw8... ⚛️🧪

Creating cutting edge physics theories is incredibly difficult when you don't understand the basics of the field. Everyone is welcome in science, but you need to do the work if you want to push the field forward! Clip: youtube.com/shorts/4oMEL... Link: youtube.com/watch?v=d07L... ⚛️🧪

Debunking more terrible physics with @timhenke.bsky.social and @superconformal.bsky.social . This time we discuss why so many people with little/no physics training are obsessed with creating physics theories. Is physics fan fic just a fun hobby? Link: youtube.com/watch?v=d07L... ⚛️🧪

Christian Ferko explains why simply being a "physics contrarian" isn't a virtue and those with alternative theories need to do the work to convince the field. You don't get points for edginess! Prove it! Clip: youtube.com/shorts/-qf5q... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=1Lrq... ⚛️🧪

Does pushing back on physics cranks and grifters risk sidelining renegades and stalling progress or do we need to clean up online spaces overrun with garbage? @timhenke.bsky.social , @superconformal.bsky.social , Christian Ferko, and I want the mop! 🧹🫧 Link: youtube.com/watch?v=1Lrq... ⚛️🧪

C-14 is vital in a huge number of fields and is one of the most important isotopes ever discovered! Preview clip of my discussion on the science behind radiocarbon dating with archaeologist @flintdibble.bsky.social . Clip: youtube.com/shorts/BMvzt... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=yZvS... ⚛️🧪

This is wild...

Christian Ferko explains why QM only allows you to reconstruct your deceased grandma if you're an all powerful God/computer outside the universe! 🗣️ "This seems like essentially religion with extra steps!" Clip: youtube.com/shorts/BtHL2... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=p3lq... ⚛️🧪

Sensor expert Dr Ramsey Faragher explains why it would be insane to use a quantum sensor to detect the heartbeat of a downed aviator rather than a GPS based tracker! Clip: youtube.com/shorts/JesHM... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=FpZN... ⚛️🧪

Preview clip. @mickwest.com explains that UAP researchers making extreme claims that satellites may have been orbiting the Earth pre-Sputnik need to accurately define their datsets *and* make those datasets available to fellow scientists and investigators. Clip: youtube.com/shorts/7k7W_C13Myw ⚛️🧪

Great chat with investigator @mickwest.com and sensor expert Ramsey Faragher about claims scientists found satellites orbiting Earth pre-Sputnik. Spoilers: the relevant analyses have severe flaws and the datasets used are hidden and extremely opaque. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=PTww... ⚛️🧪

This week, my high octane and hugely interactive particle physics outreach show comes to @cern.bsky.social - the home of euro particle physics! If you've ever wanted to be a CERN particle physicist, grab a ticket now! Tickets: indico.cern.ch/event/160688... Promo: youtube.com/watch?v=Lwh8... 🧪⚛️

Preview clip from our chat with @davidkipping.bsky.social on engaging sceptical audiences. 🗣️ "I try to offer an olive branch. [...] Let's work through it! [...] I get why you would think this, but here's why it's wrong." Clip: youtube.com/shorts/ZeSX0... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=aT3S... ⚛️🧪

The latest Science Counterpunch just landed! 👊 This week we chatted to Prof "Cool Worlds" @davidkipping.bsky.social about engaging sceptical audiences, how to better communicate physics and how scientists should engage massive influencers. Don't miss it! Link: youtube.com/watch?v=aT3S... ⚛️🧪

@mickwest.com explains that UAP investigators need to conduct a serious investigation if they want to show that scientists are being targeted. 🗣️ "You have to do the work [...] and not just blindly repeat the headline." Clip: youtube.com/shorts/jDBLT... Full: youtube.com/watch?v=2iOe... ⚛️🧪

Fantastic discussion with investigator @mickwest.com and sensor expert Ramsey Faragher on the "missing scientists" panic. Mick explains that there is no evidence that scientists are being targeted. This is lazy, motivated and unethical clickbait. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=2iOe... ⚛️🧪

Using more terrible physics tweets as teachable and fun moments with @superconformal.bsky.social , @timhenke.bsky.social , Ivano Basile and Christian Ferko. Today, Roko declares physics dead at 150 years young. We think the basilisk ate his brain 🦎🧠🤷‍♀️ Link: youtube.com/watch?v=o5Vp... ⚛️🧪

Using terrible physics tweets as teachable and fun moments with @superconformal.bsky.social , @timhenke.bsky.social , Ivano Basile and Christian Ferko. Elon Musk loves talking about the double slit experiment, but seems to have no clue what it shows 🤷‍♀️ Link: youtube.com/watch?v=NUIVdPD-KoA ⚛️🧪

The @guruspod.bsky.social guys decide on whether delusional true believers or cynical grifters are worse for our modern discourse. @ckava.bsky.social has some problems... Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFfI... Clip: www.youtube.com/shorts/PFfPc... ⚛️🧪

The latest Science Counterpunch just dropped! This week we chat to Prof @chrischirp.bsky.social about how to track attacks on science and democracy, how to communicate science to the public more effectively, and why we all need to stand up today! Full discussion: youtube.com/watch?v=F1NN... ⚛️🧪

The Science Counterpunch just landed! We chat to Dr Dan Wilson ( @debunk-the-funk.bsky.social ) about how anti-vax misinfo has become mainstream, how journos and politicians ask ineffective questions to cranks, and how to Debunk with Funk! Check it out! Full: youtube.com/watch?v=QJB2... ⚛️🧪

The BASE collaboration at @cern.bsky.social has successfully transported loose, anti-matter particles by road for the first time! Anti-matter delivery is a reality! If you want to understand the latest developments, check out the explainer video here: youtube.com/watch?v=nopk... ⚛️🧪

Great discussion with life long AIDS activist and epidemiologist Prof @gregggonsalves.bsky.social about the destruction of public health in the US and how we can push back! Gregg has transformed global public health once and he's looking to do it again! Full: youtube.com/watch?v=iiejPpoPl4E ⚛️🧪
