Optical imaging, interested in STEM topics. First generation graduate from ETH Zürich Associate Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center
Mathematician Joan S. Birman, at the young age of 99 years, solved the Burau theorem* for n=4: arxiv.org/abs/2607.05283 Congratulations! * Mathematical Mapping of braid groups, which was also a topic of her PhD work!
Wings adopted/modified from the 🇨🇭 ground attack jet FFA P-16. And also overall design looks more like fighter than biz jet
Vintage Learjet 35A at Love Field this morning. Love the wingtip tanks. @bwjones.bsky.social
Congrats to the maybe last four Fields Medalists*! www.simonsfoundation.org/2026/07/23/2... *Before Claude takes over….
After Taco Bell taking heroic action to curb the spread of cyclospora, this title becomes even more prestigious:
Benefit of building high NA oblique plane microscopes: You get used to tight tolerances. cc @tanner-fadero.bsky.social
Saw this little guy on way to work. V-tails are nonsense from an aero-design perspective, but looks kinda cool on this Cirrus Jet. cc @bwjones.bsky.social
I like this one too: „A training captain of a Saab 340 was betting with his students that the weight-on-gear mechanism would prevent gear retraction while on the ground.“ He lost the bet…. Plane was irreparabel! aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/26...

Darn, I was at Woods Hole just a few weeks ago. Could have seen a Meteor impacting near Cape Cod - nuts!
Selbst im Erzkonservativen Texas geht es voran (Grafik vom letzten Jahr). Auch krass, 10GW Battery storage wurde dieses Jahr in Texas überschritten. Das entspricht ~6-10 AKWs. Da soll mir keiner kommen mit „was machen wir wenn der Wind einschläft?“ Die Batterien puffern die Flaute!
UT Southwestern is quite a food desert, so I take today’s buffet: Very mildly spiced Chicken Vindaloo and not a number bread.
Somebody had a good start into the week😳. UT Southwestern Medical Center, North campus.
On the plus side, both the AI model and the human got to hallucinate a bit.
