Building bridges between open-source projects is a big part of why I joined @marimo.io. I got to know the @prefix.dev folks through @scipyconf.bsky.social, and worked together to make computational research easier to reproduce and share. Special thanks to @julianhofer.eu and Ruben Arts!

pixi 0.76 can now run standalone python scripts in isolated, on-demand environments. dependencies live inline via PEP 723, like uv supports, but pixi can layer on conda and system dependencies too. fun to build this with @prefix.dev folks. coming to a @marimo.io notebook near you SOON.

Every layer of a Dolly Parton outfit had a job: structure, sparkle, warmth, all of it in service of the show. Particle detectors are built the same way, layer after layer, each tuned for a different job, working together to catch what matters. Thank you #DollyParton for the sparkle and the song

@skyreader.app loving the interface and trying to move from my self-hosted FreshRSS. Any plans for adding LaTeX rendering soon?

Belle II has now accumulated the world's largest Υ(4S) dataset, surpassing Belle! Belle II's total integrated luminosity is 757 fb⁻¹ of Υ(4S) data and 864 fb⁻¹ of overall data. We hope to continue increasing the dataset for the rest of this data taking Run, which will continue until the summer.

So long #LHC and thank you for all the collisions 👋 Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, comes to the end of an extraordinary chapter in its scientific journey. Find out more: home.cern/cern-bids-fa...

If you'd like to learn about modern Python packaging (including easily shipping compiled code) from the people who work on it, we still have spots left in SIMPLE-Py! Flights and hotel are funded. You can combine it with attending SciPy 2026 if you want! www.scipy2026.scipy.org#simple-py

Let's go 🚀

we're looking to better understand how people use @tangled.org and what's getting in your way if you're up for a 15/30-min chat about your experience, drop a reply to this post or dm me! you can even book a session directly if you feel like it: cal.com/ebf-tangled/...

Announcing my new book THE GREAT ATOM DEBATE. Journey back in time and witness an epic struggle between two scientific geniuses over the very nature of reality. History of physics at its most riveting! Now available for preorder: greatatomdebate.com #Science #ScienceBook #Physics #PhysicsBook

My takeaway from @cultrepo.bsky.social 's C++ documentary is that Lenovo's thinkpad game is strong among programmers!

The Belle II experiment accumulated the world's largest Y(4S) dataset now! www.kek.jp/en/press/202...

Imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t belong. It often means the opposite, that you care deeply about what you do. I asked my colleagues to join me, because many of the most accomplished, world-leading scientists have felt like “frauds” at times. #academia #impostersyndrome #physics

I think the best way to enjoy this list, which contains lots of predictable choices (made as it was by committee), is to find a book you like, click to see who voted for it, and then look at the voters' other top 10 choices. You might find something else you like that you haven't read.

Announcing SIMPLE-Py, a two-day workshop on making compiled Python packages! It will be held alongside SciPy’s tutorial sessions July 13-14 at the University of Minnesota. We have funding for travel (to SciPy!), food, and lodging during the workshop. scikit-build.org/events/simpl...

If you wanted to feel even worse about this, I would recommend reading this paper where researchers were able to get production language models to reproduce large amounts of (copyrighted) books: arxiv.org/abs/2601.02671

🎉 JupyterLite is now part of Project Jupyter! Run Jupyter notebooks directly in your browser: no server, no setup. Many thanks to the JupyterLite contributors and supporters like QuantStack, Bloomberg and the Gates Foundation. 🔗 blog.jupyter.org/jupyterlite-...

Profoundly sad to read news of Roger Barlow's passing. A great physicist, educator and communicator, who lived by his principles and would share his wisdom with anyone who asked. The world is now a poorer place.

Pour réhabiliter les contributions des femmes à l’histoire des sciences, le CNRS participe à une commission visant l’inscription de 72 femmes scientifiques sur la Tour Eiffel. La liste de ces femmes a été remise à la maire de Paris le 26 janvier 2026. #FemmesEnScience

January 29, 1926: the great theoretical physicist Abdus Salam was born in the Punjab Province of British India (now in Pakistan). In 1979, he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow, ... ⚛️ #histsci #physics #science 🧪 1/12

I like journal clubs where you are only allowed to say positive things about a paper. They are so much more satisfying.

I've been working on a new tool with @tonofcrates.bsky.social to make publishing easier called Rheo: rheo.ohrg.org In a nutshell, it lets you produce an EPUB, a PDF, and a static site (HTML) from a folder of @typst.app files. The Rheo doc site is naturally made with Rheo (PDF and EPUB linked).

Reminder if you find yourself somehow running out of space on your multi-TB laptop to check your ~/.cache size. I got 150 GB of disk back today by doing some trivial cleanup. ``` du -ch ~/.cache | tail -1 | cut -f1 ``` Caches are wonderful things and having large caches on large disks is great!

This short book by @djnicholson.bsky.social is extraordinarily good for understanding not just the genesis, message and myths of Schrödinger's book but also why molecular biology developed in the way it did (and what's problematic about that). www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Turn your passion for sailing, chemistry, drones or anything else into a computation-powered research project. Spend 2.5 weeks learning to code with Wolfram Language from scratch and publish your findings. Learn more about the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program: https://wolfr.am/1Bbr2bXKt

Scientists working on the MicroBooNE experiment announced that they have found no evidence for a fourth type of neutrino.

The Call for Proposals for #SciPy2026 is now live! pretalx.com/scipy-2026/cfp If you have questions about @scipyconf.bsky.social just ask and be on the lookout for proposal writing office hours!

I'm allocating a little budget to sponsor some folks who do important FOSS work. If you know some people who aren't yet getting enough love yet, send me their accounts. Especially if they work directly on or adjecent to @typst.app @rust-lang.org and jujutsu (the vcs).

I made something! Monomarks.at is an open social bookmarking tool along the lines of Pinboard or Delicious, and it's based on ATProto, because I was inspired by @danabra.mov's widely-read post. Log in with your Bluesky account to save bookmarks and browse links posted by the people you follow. 😎

❤️ Thank you!! This is a perfect Halloween read (and also #OpenAccess): mitpress.mit.edu/978026253328...

hello tanglers! this october, we want to get more people into making their first ever open source contribution! to help them out, we've got the 🟣 'good-first-issue' label! head to tangled.org/goodfirstissues to see a list of issues across different repos that you can contribute to! 🤓

Next, the Strategy Group will draft recommendations to CERN council, which will the decide on the next projects for CERN and particle physics in Europe.

Alrght everybody, get your Tin Can Telephones out. We need your help! We reach new people by word of mouth. Send all your educator friends this pic! Teachers, librarians, scout troop leaders, etc! We offer our program for free, so we need help getting the word out without advertising $$.
