When you think of particle accelerators, you probably think of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
But did you know our School of Physics has had its fair share of particle accelerators over the years?
Dr Adam Steinberg shares some remarkable #UniMelb particle accelerators → unimelb.me/47s1psa

Love seeing Australia’s #1 uni on #Bluesky! I spoke with the university’s communications team about this 10 months ago (just before I left), and they were still evaluating - so it’s great to see them jump to the “light” side. Welcome aboard, @unimelb.bsky.social! 💙🎉

How does language shape the way we think? While we can all see colours, different languages slice up the colour spectrum in unique ways. Some languages have far more words while others have just a handful.

I'm sure @mkeyoung.bsky.social could offer deeper insights into his methodologies here, but I'm really curious to see how researchers will continue to engage with each other as the community grows.
P.S. At #UniMelb, we take any world ranking worth its weight and wear it like a badge of honour! 😄
