My latest: CERN is pushing to build a new 90km megacollider. Germany, which contributes more than 20% of CERN’s budget, says it “cannot support funding of the project at this point” nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Adding neutrinos to an existing nucleosynthesis recipe can account for the puzzling existence of neutron-deficient heavy nuclei. The required conditions prevail in binary neutron star mergers and rare types of magnetically intense supernovae. physics.aps.org/articles/v17…

Anyone out there with a Quantum Design OptiCool: Do you have a sample mounting / chip carrier scheme for simultaneous optical interrogation and electronic measurements with which you are happy?

10 years ago today I was elected as parent governor of @HighdownSchool and 4 years ago I became Chair of Governors of that fantastic school. It has not always been easy, but it has always been rewarding. Many schools struggle to recruit governors, so please consider volunteering.

Never thought I'd publish a paper about closed timelike curves, but they turn out to clarify what entanglement can do for quantum metrology. Now out in @PhysRevLett! journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…

INTERNSHIP OPP: For science writer types. Tom is cool. And sciencey. You should learn from him. (Although you may never be quite as cool, you might at least be as science-y)
#INTERNSHIP ALERT! I'm taking applications for a part-time winter #scicomm intern. Come learn with our fabulous team at the @broadinstitute! Apply by 10/31: broad.io/scicommintern #sciencecommunication #paidinternship #sciencewriting #diversescicomm

Does anyone know of a review of this book by a scholar who knows von Neumann's life and understands his work? We in physics and information theory tend to think of him so differently from the disturbing impression that this book seems to portray. penguinrandomhouse.com/books…
