Unreal: "The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing 'forever chemicals' as an active ingredient... The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."

Though to be fair, that should probably be located in Colorado… But there is only so much you can do on such a map.

Nice! Is there a YouTube posted version link you can share? I would like to show it to my students in my asynchronous class, and a BlueSky link doesn't seem to play nice with my LMS when there is an embedded video.

But I think your compromise solution of making it a recommendation for the PhD-bound is correct given the limitations. And it’s not like the requirements can’t be changed in the future if the constraints also change!

The only non-grad school bound reason for taking more than a modern physics course that I can think of is potential careers in quantum info and quantum computing… I’ve seen some startups in that arena hire BA/S holders, but those were more physics-y and less astro students anyway.

In college I was sick and really wanted to participate in some fun fair but only had a half-dose of both NyQuil and DayQuil left. I figured they’re mostly the same medicine so it would be fine… I was distinctly not fine. Please learn from my mistakes people of the internet!
