An image with a black background. The planet Uranus is a glowing orb near the center surrounded by rings. The planet appears blue with a large, white patch taking up the right half. The patch is whitest at the center, then fades into blue at it expands from right to left. A thin outline of Uranus is also white. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. There are faint orange and off-white smudges, some oval, some circular, that are background galaxies scattered throughout the image. Several bright blue point sources closer to Uranus are the planet’s moons. There is also a bright star at the left of the field, with 8 diffraction spikes.

The planet Uranus on a black background. The planet appears light blue with a large, white patch on the right side. On the edge of that patch at the upper left is a bright white spot. Another white spot is located on the left side of the planet at the 9 o’clock position. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. The outermost ring is the brightest while the innermost ring is the faintest. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal rings, the rings of Uranus are vertical and so they appear to surround the planet.

At center is the planet Uranus, a blue globe with a large white spot occupying most of the planet. It’s surrounded by a series of rings that get brighter as you move outward. Beyond the rings are 14 moons appearing as points of light. The moons vary in brightness with the brightest, Miranda, just above 9 o'clock.

The planet Uranus appears as a smooth, bright cyan disc at the center, its atmosphere reveals soft, hazy tones of blue. Surrounding the planet is a vivid reddish glow, forming a diffuse halo that contrasts strongly with the cool blue of the planetary disc. Encircling Uranus are several thin, concentric rings, visible as pale grey arcs. Subtle variations in brightness can be seen across the planet\u2019s face, with slightly brighter patches near the limb, hinting at atmospheric structure.

Wow.

Professors in the Epstein Files Begin to Face Consequences Several faculty members who spoke regularly with Epstein have been stripped of their titles or teaching duties.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

A diagram depicting four hyperbolic fixpoints, each with stable and unstable manifolds asymptoting to/away from them. Because of the area preservation property, there are infinitely intricate folds in these manifolds (only a finite number of which have been illustrated).

Apparently this is the first* illustration of the "homoclinic tangle" in the dynamics literature, from Melnikov 1962 (www.mathnet.ru/php/archive....). (For reasons that escape me, people write homoclinic even when they mean heteroclinic) ⚛️🧪

Did I tell yall that I ended up winning a book scholarship thing that let me buy this textbook

I also have conducted mock interviews, we do resume/CV edits, and this past fall I had a NSF GRFP working group that I found super helpful. I would love to help students apply to fellowships like this in addition to grad school. Please stop by!

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

Advertising this here: I have a physics discord server! I post research opportunities like REUs & scholarships for undergrads & grads. As a first-gen student, I thought it was super hard to find these resources, so I thought this would make it easier! discord.gg/AS3F7RH

A projection on the outside of the Old North Church reading "Let the WARNING ride forth ONCE MORE: TYRANNY is at OUR DOOR"

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone ). The tweet reads: "RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. ALZHEIMERS. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He’s not interested. He’s a nasty piece of work."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.
