Theoretical physicist (postdoctoral fellow so basically a hobo detective). I do theoretical particle and nuclear physics, trained in particle - I love my darling job - I love physics - and music and art and people too - I'm an anti-fascist & a union woman 🇺🇦
@danrabinowitz Hey!!! Well I'm chugging along, happy to see you here Dan 😊
Home from the American Physical Society meeting in Minneapolis - really I only went to the HADRON workshop part because I do love hadrons...that town was adorable. Flying in late at night was gorgeous. All of this tinted by Brenda Ueland's book "If You Want to Write." She was born in 1891 in Minneapolis & I love her.
Good things to have:

@doughahn Oh that looks so cool, I thought it was a smaller lighter boat - I just emailed one of the rowing clubs to see if I could come try it out, thank you for the link!!!
Popular science article on quark-quark bonds & how they might act in NUCLEI. Typically QCD potentials are far too short-range to act over nuclear length scales, however, due to the uncertainty principle of quantum physics, they *can* act on quarks from different nucleons. Next question - is the potential strong enough to overcome the uncertainty principle, for a moment? The binding energy of the diquark state must be large - things look good. Nature to decide:
@doughahn Beautiful! I always wonder, I look out on the bay from the Berkeley hills, but I always think of being on the water, I wonder if it is a bit scary...I would like to start to row too - if you have time to give advice to a stranger, would you recommend a beginning rowing place in the east bay? If you don't have time, thank you for the beautiful images...
@amandacsb2 Right?? We don't say Frisco either!!
@mcnees Oh this is the way to write about science, I love it - Applying her period-luminosity relation, he finds M31 is outside our galaxy - I mean, breathtaking science with the simplest plainest details and perfect attributions - I'm so happy because I didn't know this before!! I can imagine him doing the calculation & sitting back in wonder (and doubt, I'm sure!!!) when he saw the number. This is why I love what I do, because of such feelings, the clink clink when things fall into place...
