First day of classes at @jhuartssciences.bsky.social. A glorious day to learn #QuantumMechanics!
I'm teaching two courses - QM for physics majors, and Philosophy of Cosmology for a general audience. I'm going to try to maintain a thread saying what happens in each class, let's see how I do.

"Physics writes equations, humanities talk about emotions. But the world is one” says Carlo Rovelli.
Sean Carroll's Bayesian approach relies on computer scientist and philosopher Judea Pearl's breakthrough that taught AI systems to distinguish correlation from causation.

Fascinating lecture by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social on How digitalisation increases health inequalities. Introduced by @auhe-leeds.bsky.social 's own @katiespencer.bsky.social at Leeds Uni Med School. I suspect (hope) lots of research ideas and plans are being generated to build on this. Thank you 🙏
