Nottingham's physics cuts "intellectual vandalism”
You don't rebuild a world-leading physics department with the stroke of an accountant's pen.

From now till April 2025, Lakeside Arts will be showcasing "Cosmic Titans", a ground breaking art-science exhibition exploring the quantum universe.
Check it out: lakesidearts.org.uk/exhibiti…
Who knew Einstein was an experimentalist with such a cavalier approach to Health & Safety?
(seriously though, check out uonphysics on instagram to see what else Einstelf has got up to in the run-up to Christmas)

More extraordinary work from @tw__astro (former @PhysSocNotts @uon_physics AstroSec), winning not one but TWO categories at the @RMGreenwich
Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. Congrats Tom! #APY16

We also want you to hold your head high if things haven't gone to plan.
Our cohort has top exam performers, students who applied through clearing, and people who took a gap year or a foundation year. Day One in the lecture theatre is a fresh start.

T minus 2 days to A-level Results Day and the start of Clearing. See our advice from @UoN_Physics & good luck 👇
News outlets reporting this morning that the A-level results period next week will be "busy". Predicting lots of movement around Clearing.
Our advice? Be prepared, make a plan, be open to a change of direction....and move quickly. Good luck to all.

And in video 3, we forcefully make the case that neither universities (nor A-level students) should have their worth defined by a single ranking/grade.

Thanks to @BradyHaran for exploring these issues with us for @sixtysymbols

Students, parents, teachers! Are you or someone you support anxiously awaiting A-level results?
If results are not as expected, all is not lost. There are always options (believe it or not)

Delighted to be part of a collective rant against university league tables with @emeegray and Philip Moriarty (including my plea at 20:20 for a @DORAssessment-style initiative to rid us of these parasitic evil entities once and for all).

We tutor 220 state school kids EVERY week to increase the number & diversity of excellent mathematicians. In Sept we TRIPLE our cohort, so need more great ONLINE tutors. Can you spare at least 5 hrs/week?
£27.50/h & it's a good cause. Pls send note & CV to contact@parallel.org.uk
This was a really fun @sixtysymbols video to make.
Special thanks to @paulmunday10 for the demos

Absolutely fascinating talk today by @uon_physics alum @stuartmuldrew on plans for a prototype fusion power plant being built in Nottinghamshire.
Also great to hear how an astronomy PhD is actually excellent training to become a "Principle Fusion Technologist"! @UKAEAofficial
Two words: quantum tornado ⚛️🌪️
Scientists from @UoNMaths @UoN_Physics have created a giant quantum vortex to mimic a black hole in superfluid helium showing in greater detail how analogue black holes behave and interact with their surroundings #BlackHole

And now....the third time! 😲 #LeapYear
It's a measure of how long I've been working with @BradyHaran that this is the second February 29th I've had the opportunity to retweet this video... #LeapYear
