What inspires someone to pursue physics for life?
From discovering general relativity to the encouragement of mentors, women in our community share the moments that shaped their journeys.
This #InternationalWomensDay we’re celebrating women advancing physics and inspiring the next generation. 🌟
A dark blue graphic for International Women’s Day featuring a purple and blue gradient hand icon with a heart in the palm at the top. The word "WOMENS" is written in large block letters, with each letter containing a black-and-white photo of women. Below it, the word "Day" is written in pink script. At the bottom, pink text reads: "Diseases that mostly affect women – like Long Covid and ME – are still trivialised, psychologised, and dangerously underfunded. Medical misogyny isn’t a relic. It’s alive and well."
👭 On #InternationalWomensDay we honour the women with Long Covid and ME and allies who keep pushing for truth, research, and care.
♀️Listen to women. Fund the science.
Shout out to Boston

In this viral clip from Cosmos Ep.1, Carl Sagan explains how Eratosthenes (276–194 BC) calculated Earth's circumference. 🔭 🧪 ⚛️
His estimate: 250,000 stadia ≈ 25,000 miles (~40,000 km).
Crazy accurate for 2200+ years ago!

International Threeway Day (3/3) will be here before you know it, so here's a helpful guide to everything you should know about having a threesome that I put together for the Astroglide blog. https://astroglide.com/blog/everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-threesomes
Hypnotic photo of a curtain aurora that truly looks like a flying dragon.The image is extraordinary: an enormous serpentine green shape twisting through the night sky above a snow-covered landscape, with tiny human silhouettes that emphasize the epic scale. It looks like something straight out of a fantasy story, yet it is completely real.
🧵
'Dragon Aurora over Norway' is an enchanting pic showing an impressive auroral curtain, captured by Marco Bastoni above Tromsø in Northern Norway.
The aurora's glittering green glow somehow reminds of a large dragon. 🔭

yeah like, this is very much a core reason why many people are particularly hostile to LLMs who might have otherwise not been
Sometimes all you can do is laugh.
I missed that you were doing this! How very cool and great recognition too
This is Greens Senator Elizabeth Brown speaking about the Hertzog visit and the brutality by NSW police on Palestine protestors. Forget the major parties; vote for the Greens folks, they will take on the Israel lobby.
The BMJ v @bmj_latest X.com Covid-19 is not just a respiratory infection. Cardiovascular symptoms are seen in acute and long covid. Katharine Lang reports on what we've learnt since the onset of the pandemic Why covid-19 is "a vascular disease masquerading as a r...
So at the beginning of the pandemic I said it would take about 5-7 years for people to figure stuff out using heuristic learning methods.
I am a crystal ball.

Wanting to repress truth; what more atrocities are being planned? Shocking decision
Pretending all is ok when it isn’t, preventing precautions continues to be highly dangerous behaviour 🧵
Do not piss off the Scots. Whatever you do.
I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Facing malnutrition with,so far, no medical explanation, now in my third year of long Covid, I said to my therapist yesterday “I feel like Dante created a special level of hell just for me” and she said “yeah it sure seems like that,” so all I can say is
Wear a mask, you dumbasses.
A nighttime Dolomites view: sharp Cridola peaks under dark blue sky. An old Roman road in the foreground park glows with tiny warm lanterns along the sides. Up above, 28 real Moons trace a wide horizontal S from right to left—starting slim and waxing high on the right, curving through quarter and gibbous to a bright full near the middle, then waning down to thin crescent low on the left. Sizes and glow shift to hint at phases over a lunar month. Real shots blended into something dreamy and artistic.

Check out this stunning "Lunar Curve" (not a lunar analemma), by Giorgia Hofer! 🔭
It looks magical, with the #Moon tracing a path 🧪 over the mountains.
Actually, it's a beautiful digital composite montage, not something you can actually see in real life.

An image of a broken painting of a red heart on a dark grey textured wall. On the heart it says in handwritten text “Long Covid can break your heart” and the Long Covid SOS logo in black Underneath white type says “It’s not just the physical impact a Covid infection can have on cardiovascular health - it’s the added emotional toll for those of us living with Long Covid, our families, and the people who care for us. ITS NOT JUST THE HEART ITS THE HEARTBREAK #LongCovidAwarenessDay 15/03/26”
#LongCovid can break your heart; both physically and emotionally.
Not only through its impact on the cardiovascular system, but through the strain of living with an unpredictable, poorly understood illness, and the toll it takes on relationships, identity, and daily life.
If workplaces looked after staff they might have less difficulty filling shifts

Living apart together is a thing. Lots of research on it. (Can work really well, although the environmental aspects of two houses plus cost and availability are considerations.)Yay for one’s own territory.
Sickness, Disability, and Death in NHS England Staff All three rising significantly from the point that covid infections started.

The three graphs that *every person* needs to see.
The question that every single person needs to ask their government:
What are you doing to protect me from Covid infection?
I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
