Hey! Someone took a chomps out of the Staff portrait! (Fortunately the original is safely tucked away)
Who's the culprit? #Thirring #SkyeLove #SitaraLove

Much like Google and other places to attract the best talent sometimes you need to provide a few extras for your staff. Here at #Thirring we provide a continuous buffet of dandelion leaves,pellets and other snacks for our researchers #perks #CorporateLife #SkyeLove

Intense snoopervision is required sometimes when delicate experiments are being conducted. #SkyeLove #SitaraLove #SundayIsBunday #Thirring

#Thirring in an absolutely shocking development Sitara has developed an electric field!! #SitaraLove This must be a side effect of her research!

The training has begun. Flopping 101. Skye is an excellent teacher

#OpenSource #gnuplot #Thirring 🧵 Part 5 of my series on open source software used at the Thirring Institute. Mathematical plotting is an artform, and there are some really good open source tools for this. One of the classics is a piece of software known as gnuplot. This is often embedded in other programs, but also used on it's own. Here's a couple of plot examples:

#OpenSource #Manim #Thirring 🧵 Part 4 of my series on open source software used at the Thirring Institute
As a small privately funded institute one of the most important things done here is outreach and education. Not only does it create publicity, it benefits the greater community. Thanks to Grant Sanderson and his 3blue1brown creation

He very generously open sourced the Manim math animation engine 1/2

#OpenSource #Sagemath #Thirring 🧵 Part 3 of my series on open source software used at the Thirring Institute: Sage aka Sagemath. This is a powerful open source competitor to mathematical software such as Mathematica, Maple and others like it. This is written in Python, and is actually a suite of apps
Their mission statement is: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.
