Anyone seen any job applications that actively try to invite under represented minorities to apply?

Lookin for more than just "removing bias" or having the standard "equal opportunity" disclaimer. Something that says "Hey you, yes you, you should apply!"

What's your favorite equation?
Mine is Euler's identity:
$e^{i\pi}+1=0$

My work finally started to provide free feminine products in the bathrooms. Which is great, but I don’t even think in my biggest emergency I would use the giant “maxithin” pads that have been chilling in unwrapped cardboard boxes since 2002 (and were 100% in the bathroom while asbestos removal was happening). Don’t get me started on cardboard applicators. My work is a bit of an embarrassment sometimes.

I recently taught a class that involved programming arduino zeros on everyone's personal machines. I had mixed success with getting the arduino to interface with Mac laptops. At the moment, I'm blaming the various USB-C-to-USB adapters students used, and will have spare adapters on hand next time - but I'm curious if anyone has any other insights for common Arduino/Mac problems so I have a list of things to check when I teach again.

Newest edition to my cross-stitch wall!

$\operatorname{\hat H}\vert\Psi\rangle=E\vert\Psi〉$ in the streets, $i \hbar \frac{d}{d t}\vert\Psi(t)\rangle = \hat H\vert\Psi(t)〉$ in the sheets.

Depending on which profession you’re talking to, 0.001 inches is either a mil, a thou, “why aren’t you using metric?”, or uselessly fucking small.

This is MPAR ATD, a phased array antenna installed at The National Severe Storms Lab in Norman, OK. Each stitch is an antenna in the array, 4,864 total. Each 8x8 section outlined in black is a stand-alone panel that can be swapped out. Phased arrays are cool 🤓
