Si vous etes sages aujourd'hui, ce soir je vous ferai un petit thread de vulgarisation à ma façon sur la découverte astrophysique fort interessante (mais tout de même pas inattendue) annoncée ce jour.

All right, I've just learned that it was my #Fediversary yesterday and I have a new paper out on arxiv today, so let's celebrate all that with an #astrodon 🧵 on magnetized accretion, and it's surprising connections with turbulence in ... pipes ! It's quite a ride in terms of research story

Pro tip: don't let hope take over your inner natural pessimism, because pessimism = realism at 95% confidence level.

Allez j'ai fini mon rapport en retard.. Vu que c'est une journée où j'échange sur la physique apparemment, je profite de la fin d'après-midi pour tooter un petit thread sur l'utilisation des harmoniques sphériques en physique, et plus spécifiquement dans le contexte de la cosmologie, thread qui avait été posté en diffusion restreinte il y a quelques semaines #astrodon #outreach 🧵

A truly non-Newtonian black hole #Creative #Physics #Astrodon #Science #Photography #Bass

Close-up video of honey dripping from a wooden spoon. The spoon is set against the light so that the background appears dark. Light gets through the honey drips and drops, making some lenses effects. Some sparky bubbles made by chromatic refraction are visible inside the drips. The drips make oscillatory movements due to the non-newtonian (elastic) nature of the fluid. The whole scene looks like a black hole image, with the dark centre (the spoon) surrounded by a light ring (the honey bending the light by refraction)

I am very excited to introduce a new online space,

https://lookingup.francois-rincon.org

where I will be posting musings on my recently initiated research career transition from astrophysics to ecology. I would like this place to be a lively forum, especially for scientists involved in similar matters. First post is online 🎉 , boosts welcome ! 💚 🍂 🔭 #Astrodon #Ecology

You can register by following @lookingup.francois-rincon.org or using the rss feed link on the site.

A thread of live recordings of my amateur jazz band's latest december 2023 gig, a #WayneShorter tribute (final thread post on January 2nd 2024). Let's start with Miyako, a wonderful ballad,
including an upright #bass solo by yours truly #jazz 🧵

"A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking is probably the most influential semi-popular #science book ever written in #physics, #astrophysics, #cosmology , one that brought generations of students into these fields.

Do you know of any equivalent books in other fields of science, STEM or other ? Reply ⬇️

Boosting will make everybody on #Mastodon smarter !

Let me introduce you to my new safe & happy secondary workplace 💚

This rainy afternoon looks like the perfect time to finally tackle my arxiv inbox, which only has 57 unread entries 😱 😭 So, let me single out a few nice things a la Astro plot of the week on the other site, to make this moment more entertaining 🧵 #astrodon #academicchatter

Holidays up in the mountains -3 and i haven't made much progress on that last bit of code i wanted done by last February. Time to get that s* beyond the finish line, if only i can muster the mental focus of my last functioning cubic centimeter of brain for this #academicchatter

Your regular reminder that if something in science or tech is presented like a revolution/fundamentally new/disruptive/game changing/the future, and unless there is a strong scientific consensus that it actually is, there is an overwhelmingly-large probability that this thing is at best overhyped bullshit and at worst a complete scam to make money defrauding credulous people. Humans are shit at dealing with this in real time and usually only learn this at their expense .

Live #BikeTooting 22km et 900 D+ en vtt ce matin, le tour du Séserite dans la vallée d'Ossau, en partant du port de Castet. 18 degrés, la brume se lève, c'est beau. Ca va monter d'un trait et je vais souffrir pendant 2h30-3h. #mountainbiking #FatMelting

I may be doing good science threads but apparently I'm still not writing convincing-enough proposals 😣 (note for self: yet another scheme with 15% success rate, do not reapply) #ActaRejecta #academicchatter

Far from the IA/ML hype, my Phd student and I are working on a computer time proposal, and it is ever so despairing to rediscover that to do a reasonable job at modelling the kind of very very specialized stuff we usually want to model in this business, the very minimal allocation we need is going to end up putting 10 tons of CO2 in the air on an "energy-efficient" last generation supercomputer, in a country with a very favourable energy mix from the strict CO2 emission point of view. To hell.

La montagne ça vous gagne, mais les réveils à 5h30 au milieu des vacances pour des cauchemars liés à la toxicité du milieu professionel c'est nettement moins fun 😟
