Some solid physics today on #TheLifeScientific on @[email protected]. My guest is the fantastic Clifford Johnson @[email protected], renown expert on string theory and black holes as well as advisor on Hollywood sci-fi movies. Forget Dr Strange - I give you... Professor Weird.

Still too soon…
Happy National Croissant Day!
Flaky, golden, buttery, sweet steaming croissants. That is all.

What advice would you give to a mentee who has just started meeting with a mentor?
Me to students: “Sure. Use any metric signature you want.”
How to Speak Cat.
How do you say "I'll kill you when you fall asleep"?

One fact that surprises a lot of people is that the US *government* spends a *larger* fraction of its GDP on healthcare than the Canadian government does. Private citizens also pay much more.
The free market provides a lot of things well, but healthcare isn't one of them.

This and its replies has made my morning. :)
And then the dirt bikes turned up…
It was a bright day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. And then the dirt bikes turned up.

Great talk as well - thanks for coming!
Thx to Duncan O'Dell & all the folks at @[email protected], who filled today with provocative discussions of new physics ideas.
(NO thanks to the staff at @[email protected], who not only left me stranded in the snow an unnecessary extra 40mn, but were even rude about it.)

Should have guessed: it was waiting for people to make travel plans!
Mid January in Canada and perhaps only the second snowfall so far this winter…
