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.

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

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 .

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'm reading the paper in Nature associated with this news release, and all I can say is "we are so fucked". This is a brutal scientific read.
Fig. 1 sums it all up. We are literally going to boil the frogs bathing in cold water by heating up the pan.#ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency

"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 ⬇️

Grand chelem dans la haie cet après-midi: une rare (dans mon jardin) mésange bleue, tchip le rouge-gorge, et ma première photo de petite fauvette femelle, accompagné de Monsieur ! #BirdPhotography

Rouge gorge dans le poirier sauvage dont les feuilles sont entre vert et jaune, en arriere blanc du feuillage jaune d'or d'érable champêtre
Mesange bleue très nette et contrastée en train de déguster des baies du troëne, aux branches de l'année légèrement rouges. En arriêre plan, feuillage doré d'érable champêtre.
Femelle fauvette a tête noire qui a en fait la tete rousse, plastron blanc, regardant vers moi alors qu'elle est perchée dans le poirier sauvage dans des feuillages dorés

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 🧵
