How I sleep now that I don’t have anymore homework and the quarter is *finally* done.

Yesterday, my advisor said, ‘You should start thinking about the story you want to tell in your thesis and how your PhD will come to a close.’
Wait… what? My time as a PhD student is actually ending?!

An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron's path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.

The Sound of Science: A Special concert at the ESRF
One year ago, Paganini’s favourite and renowned violin, Il Cannone, was brought to the ESRF for an exceptional scan on BM18.
To celebrate the anniversary of this analysis, Maestro Luca Fanfoni performed a stunning concert for ESRF staff.

Whether we like it or not, science and politics are deeply intertwined.
Expecting scientists to refrain from political discourse not only undermines the societal impact of their work and neglects the ethical responsibilities inherent in their scientific endeavours...

PhD scientists who forged a career off the beaten track
These seven scientists escaped big-city life after completing their PhDs. Here’s how they make it work.

This is a disaster, and will be particularly bad after a weather disaster. People will die and there will be vast economic costs from this. It's not about saving taxpayers' money. It's about disassembling the government.
BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun.
The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

Undergraduate research opportunities are incredibly valuable, both for the students and for the progress of the work. And having undergraduate research experience is a massive help for grad school admission. REU cancellations harm students’ preparedness & career prospects, and slow research progress
🚨 Many NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are being cancelled for Summer 2025.

My REU was the first time I had the chance to immerse myself in full-time research—it showed me that I was capable of pursuing a PhD and solidified my passion for science. Every young scientist deserves that kind of transformative experience.

How Noether’s Theorem Revolutionized Physics | Quanta Magazine
Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics.

6/8. In science, and in institutions of learning like colleges and universities, there is a shared understanding that edicts should not go unquestioned—that we all have a duty to systematically investigate the world around us and to interrogate claims about it. We do not simply obey.

States need to increase their support for research (or start supporting it if they aren't already) and give preference to research that is being blacklisted by the federal government.

In this week’s Fourier Optics course we shall be looking at diffraction from 2D apertures.
A quiz to test your understanding of the array theorem. Can you match the apertures to their Fraunhofer diffraction patterns?
