The heat in the Southwest U.S. is incredible. #Vegas saw its fifth day with temps of at least 115°F (46°C). During the first nine days of July, ~2.2 billion gallons of water just vaporized from Lake #Shasta.
This isn't normal. #ActOnClimate

On Thursday, August 1, PI will present a short talk with Claudia de Rham about her fascinating journey in pursuit of gravity’s true nature. The talk will be followed by an in-depth conversation with Nahlah Ayed, host of @CBC’s Ideas.

As a "baby" teacher I participated in @Perimeter's teacher program, EinsteinPlus, and it transformed my teaching practice.
Last week (18 years later) I had the privilege to be on the facilitation team at #EPLUS2024 with a great group of humans. My #physics ❤️ is full.

A new adventure begins today! Excited to be representing @Perimeter at @LIGOWA's International Physics and Astronomy Educator Program.

Had a great time presenting with @DaveFishPI @Perimeter workshops at @cern for #hst2024. The new science Gateway is spectacular and the teachers were amazing. Thanks @DrJeffWiener!

I don’t promote my books too much here but if you’re suddenly saying: shoot, gotta get something for Mother’s Day, this is truly a good choice: goodreads.com/book/show/1230…
Can you solve the @Perimeter Exploring Exoplanets breakout activity? The preservice teachers at Western did!
Had a blast working with future teachers at Western. Inquiry cubes from @perimeter Nature of Science resource with @physicswithmcp.

Teachers are exploring climate change solutions with @Perimeter resources at Assumption college today. Glad to be part of the action!

I’ve run the exoplanet breakout box a lot now and I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I’m trying out some new ways to share beyond Twitter so you can find them on Instagram and YouTube @physicswithmcp
Thanks @EMacGillHDSB for inviting @Perimeter to work with your students on Climate Change and what we can do about it. First task to addressing the problem is figuring out where the Greenhouse Gases come from.

Flying to Saskatoon today and fired up a cosmic ray detector at altitude. The count was ~26/s as opposed to just below 1/s baseline back home. Neat! [Thanks to @uw_icecube for the loan of the detectors!] #iteachphysics #internationalcosmicday

Had some @Perimeter Outreach folks visit and test out some new resources! Thanks @DaveFishPI and @kellyfoyle

It was great to do Go Physics at the Blackhurst cultural centre. Sharing @Perimeter activities with @DaveFishPI . Students were curious and energetic!

Climate scientists are tearing their hair out, so why are millions not in the streets demanding #ClimateActionNow?
Watch and share @MrNishKumar helping @FrediOtto rouse the masses in the latest punchy "Climate Science Translated" video! 🔥🌎
