This right here is what I've been waiting for. nature.com/articles/s4157…
Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.
PI trying to finish a paper despite incessant problems, meetings, and a million other distractions.
Universities pay staggering salaries to Presidents, Chancellors, VPs and provosts by the dozens, etc and in every administrative office there is a 57 year old woman named Peggy with a title like "Admin Assistant II" and that's the person who actually runs the university.
When an R becomes a P and changes the entire meaning.
We are incredibly small and insignificant. But we are intrepidly exploring the cosmos with technology made with human hands and human brains. First #JWST deep field shows thousands of galaxies and gravitational lensing. Things with lens flares = stars that are much closer to us.

How fortunate we are to live in an age where we can see things in the sky that would have been hidden forever without technology @NASA #JWST. If I had this toy, I would spend all my time frantically pointing it at things seen before or not. #nosleep nasa.gov/image-feature/…
Changing the name of a thing to increase the number of syllables doesn't change the nature of the thing. Shell-shocked is now "post traumatic stress syndrome", blackout is now "load shedding". Politicians need to grow the f up.
SCIENCE: If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong. If you don't correct those mistakes, you're doing it really wrong. If you can't accept that you're mistaken, you're not doing it at all.
This feels ridiculously relevant right now
