Is it just me that hates the phrase "research outputs" -- "outputs" always reminds of the charts you have to keep with very new babies. I know we use it to cover a huge range of activities, but no-one ever goes home and says "Good news, I had an output accepted today"

Don't do much punditry here, but anyone wittering about the terrible and heinous violation of the Iranian Embassy and the deep respect of the Iranian government for diplomatic norms was probably not reading the newspaper in 1979.
Reading "The Star Builders" on efforts to develop fusion power. Great title but it refers to people working on fusion as "star builders" throughout. E.g. "The star builders have an unusual plan..." Losing my will to live, or at least to get past Chapter Three.
It's Thursday, time to watch the latest Cosmology Talk! This one has Russell Boey talking about dynamical friction, supermassive blackholes and ultralight dark matter. Can it solve the final parsec problem? Find out inside the video (or next Tweet). youtu.be/hyf6VtbZ6-c
Talk also featuring @REasther and @ChaosWonton. Main paper: arxiv.org/abs/2403.09038 Earlier paper: arxiv.org/abs/2110.03428
Frankly, a big day for Good Dogs everywhere. @dog_rates

This site still has its moments.
I am much happier with the idea that there is something we don't understand about supernovae than I am about w<-1. If you know, you know.
This seems about right.
Not sure how many cosmologists are left here, but curious to know what people's picks would be for working models of inflation right now??

Looked at the claim a young person will spend 24 years on a benefit. This is strictly true if you are talking about a very specific benefit. The problem is that only about 0.5% of beneficiaries and 3.6% of "young pple" on a benefit get that benefit. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/gr…
