Well, lookie there: the #ATLAS experiment that I worked on from 2009-2022 won a share in this year's #BreakthroughPrize! Congratulations to all my colleagues who remain active on the experiment!

I am proud of my contributions to the measurement of the Highs boson's quantum numbers in 2013 and the first direct observation of its interaction with the bottom quark in 2018.

I am even prouder of my pivot to #UndergroundScience and all the discoveries yet to be made.

Calling all physical science #researchers! The application process is open for the 2025 SNOLAB Underground Science Institute lecture program. Come to #SNOLAB for the summer, work on your project and/or a project at the lab, and get access to academic training and hands-on workshops. This is aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

We will start reviewing applications soon!

Had an absolutely WONDERFUL visit to the underground laboratory at #Modane today. Our hosts were so gracious in taking lots of time to discuss ideas and problems and entertain questions. I was particularly excited about discussions of open data and data standards, as well as shield design for their germanium counters.

So excited that @SNOLAB is now on the federated social web! Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Anybody within shouting range should follow #SNOLAB as they begin a new adventure in this social landscape!
