What I really love about this documentary is how in just a few minutes it shows the impact of the discovery—not just on science, but how it has inspired and motivated individuals, and how technology is finding applications in so many areas of life

A print copy of this paper lives on a bookshelf in my parent's home
It's strange how such a few pages can contain so much
10 years ago today, our discovery paper was published in Physical Review Letters
https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102
It has gone on to be highly cited. But it has also had an impact outside of academia—its #Altmetric score is in the top 1000 of all papers ever

#GW150914 birthday cakes enjoyed by our scientists. You can't make discoveries without an occasional sweet treat
A delightful mini-documentary from our @UofGravity colleagues to celebrating the first decade of #GravitationalWave astronomy and the path ahead
The Trieste gravitational wave group celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first gravitational wave detection, #GW150914, with a public lecture and themed cakes!
