A look at the many big questions as teams enter the summer months

“World leaders are not unaware of the nuclear industry’s long history of failing to deliver on its promises, or of its weakening vital signs. Yet many continue to act as if a ‘nuclear renaissance’ could be around the corner even though nuclear energy’s share of global electricity generation has fallen by almost half from its high of roughly 17 percent in 1996."

Physics Faculty and Empathy in Academic Spaces
The ability to emotionally or intellectually understand another person's thoughts and feelings-empathy-can foster critical connections that facilitate learning and collaboration. We present a case study of physics faculty that examines their experiences empathizing with students, both in and outside of the classroom. We expand on frameworks for understanding the empathy process by identifying key mediating factors, and note various barriers that faculty express as preventing them from taking em…

I was about 6 years old when I figured out how to whistle. Don’t recall why, or how long I’d been trying, just the moment it happened. I was so proud, I went immediately into my parents’ bedroom and whistled loudly at my father’s face. Maybe 6am. On a Sunday. He was not best pleased, my dad. I could tell that right away. I think I whistle today because of what happened next, which I don’t remember. Just a feeling, I guess. It was a while before I whistled again.

Abstract: The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e. evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some bearing on the chances of success of technosignature searches, as well as on the inferred age of technosignatures following a first contact. Here, we investigate the possibility that the longevity of technosignatures conforms to the so-called Lindy's law, whereby, at any time, their remaining life expectancy is roughly proportional to their age. We show that, if Lindy's law applies, the general tenet that the first detected technosignature ought to be very long lived may be overruled. We conclude by discussing the number of emitters that had to appear, over the history of the Galaxy, in order for one of them to be detectable today from Earth.

Do you know what a Flemish Giant rabbit is? I went out to scout a farm for a location shoot in May and they had a “half sized” Flemish Giant rabbit - IT WAS HUGE! It was the biggest bunny I had ever seen. It was easily the size of a Jack Russell Terrier! I can’t imagine how big a full sized one would be. 😳
