Not sure what they're on about BUT.. The US Department of Energy's particle physics budget is only about the price of one coffee per American per year. With that, the US has helped discover the majority of the Standard Model's particles, most on US soil.

Imagine what we could do with two coffees...

In the FCC study we work on disruptive technologies for the benefit of the society. Conceiving a method to convert pure information, bits and bytes through interaction with your mobile banking application to create actual, tangible matter. First results are promising as can be seen in the image.

Yoooo - Thanks for coming out last night to see Harmonic Motion Scruffy City Hall (w/
a Science&Reason DJ set). Was a blast to play some bloops, crack open a guitar, and try a hand at live VJing for Science&Reason in #touchdesigner. So good to see everyone and hope to play again for you soon!

So honored to be one of this year’s fellows! Thrilled to be part of the mission of the Sloan Foundation, especially given that it was Sloan-funded PBS shows that first got me excited about science. #SloanFellow

Honored to be UTK’s second Cottrell Scholar (after @tovaholmes.bsky.social!). I’ll work on accelerator projects towards a future muon collider and developing support structures for students transferring from community college (as I did) who face unique challenges in physics programs (as I also did!)

Hey y'all US friends!
Did you see my postdoc ad to come and work with me on CMS? inspirehep.net/jobs/2864716
We usually get very few American applicants in EU unis (zero again, so far), but maybe at this moment in time it's a nice opportunity?
Deadline is flexible.

NSF has taken down their award management system while conducting a comprehensive review to check compliance with recent EOs. This means, among other things, that NSF fellows can’t request their Feb 1st paychecks

What a time to be on a “prize” fellowship
