There are not many moments that consciously feel like stepping into the future, but this is one of them! Inspirational work @SpaceX!

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionise #technology. But at the moment, they do not work very well! Dr Salini @karuvade, a #quantum #physicist at @Sydney_Uni and @ARC_EQUS, hopes to improve them: futurumcareers.com/why-is-it…

I've signed up to be a #STEMpal this year, and have been paired with a primary school student. I love the optimism in their first letter: "... If you can teach me mostly everything you know about quantum physics, that would be nice" Uni students, take note of this aspiration...

This episode of #ClearAsQuantum is a great way to unwind into the festive season. It was so much fun to record with a live audience. In fact, if you've never listened to an episode this is a great place to start!

Well done Chloe! I saw a draft of this performance in an earlier round of this competition, and I know this win is well deserved. Yet again physics achieves beyond proportion - we might not have many postgrad students but they are some of the best on campus!
A typical 80,000 word thesis takes about 9 hours to present, but last night we saw our students deliver it in just 3 minutes! ⏱️ Chloe Wilkins took the top spot in our Three Minute Thesis Final with a compelling presentation on unravelling the mystery of slow solar wind. 💨

Our #physics #mascot has levelled up and is now on Instagram! Now you can all join our #NewyPhysics game of "what's FysicsFrogmouth up to today?" #NotAnOwl #StillWise
Replying to @KarenLLivesey
Our tawny frog mouths have been in residence over 40 days. #NewyPhysics @Uni_Newcastle Now they have a social media presence too!! I am predicting a higher following than the academics. #NotAnOwl

#AI #art is a fun distraction after my flight home from Adelaide was "retimed" for the second time. How's this #promo for #NewyPhysics?

Representing @REDBACKsys on the ANZCOP Industry Panel put me beside some exciting names! We discussed the #optics and #photonics industry in Australia and NZ, and it was great to feel the enthusiasm for #growth in this community.

During a video meeting this afternoon I was startled by a storm of congratulatory messages: I'm on a #DiscoveryProjects that has been funded! Looking forward to working on 2-dimensional #diamond with @XianjueC, Luhua Li (@Deakin), and Marc Dubois (@INC_CNRS). @UON_research

In fact, my #NewyPhysics colleagues got 2 other #DiscoveryProjects and so #Physics got 3 of the 10 that went to @Uni_Newcastle! #GOTEAM

As an Australian I really enjoyed this lettuce thing,sad in a way that it's over so soon. It's weird that the UK's shortest-ever serving #PM happened to be the one to attend the funeral of the UK's longest-ever reigning monarch. #historic

I wonder if @SciNate managed to clean off all the slime by this morning?
Thank you @SciNate and @BreakfastNews for showcasing last night's National Science Quiz 2022. Your support of scientists and science is wonderful. nationalsciencequiz.com.au/
