The Kremlin and other autocracies have long ached to see Voice of America and Radio Liberty destroyed, but even in their most fevered dreams, they could never have imagined that the Americans would do the dirty work themselves.

Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org doi.org/10.1073/pnas...! Ice cubes often appear cloudy because, as water freezes, air bubbles get trapped and scatter light. But how does freezing rate affect the shape of the bubbles?
A great idea! Pass it on. 🇨🇦

Is there a #standupforscience2025 in Los Angeles? There was such an event mentioned on the website a few days ago (along with San Francisco) but it seems to have vanished. I was wondering if these CA events didn't get a permit.
Thanks for your important work!
In the next edition of #CondensedMatterPioneers we would like to highlight the career of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (1932-2007), a French physicist renowned for his extensive contributions to condensed matter physics, particularly in the study of soft matter.🧵
Dear CBC,
Today’s show needs to be cancelled
Wrong choices were made
O’Leary is not a legitimate voice on Canadian sovereignty
He tried to sell Canada and profit from it
Pause this conversation, make better choices

Fantastic news. More countries should do the same.
The way the media is so chill about a concentration camp starting today, and those being prepared in El Salvador, as if it's a pop concert is so chilling. 4 years from now they'll say they simply didn't know! 😡
Let's be clear! This is a concentration camp!

Explaining to CNN the economic chaos that Donald Trump is about to unleash on his own people. We will never break or concede to an erratic thug who seems like Al Capone in his syphilitic phase trying to pull a shakedown.

Great lineup in this "Physical Review Letters collection of the year 2024" which represents a "distillation of some of the most important and interesting papers in physics and related areas." A great way to see some work in your area of research, but also more broadly.

Canada didn’t want this fight.
Canada didn’t start this fight.
This fight makes absolute zero rational sense, between any two trading partners, let alone close friends and allies.
Canada did everything we could to avoid this fight.
But Canada doesn’t back down from a fight.

We are in the fight of our lives. But Canadians have been called to be heroic before and we have never been defeated. This is our time to defend our country.
Le Canada est uni. Ce sera une période difficile, mais c’est l’occasion de bâtir notre nation et de célébrer notre solidarité.
Vive le Canada

I think Canada is great. Would not want to move. But what makes Canada the best in the world? Is it the way we treat our poor? Access to education for all? Lowest in hate crimes? #1 in medical care, pharma, dental? Greatest access to mental health treatment? Fewest houseless citizens? Food access?
