Welcome Dr. Dan D'Orazio, assist. astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Inst, for his talk titled, "Gas, Gravity and Gravitational Waves: Supermassive Black Hole Binaries and Their Environmental Interactions."
Come learn what about the mysteries of supermassive binaries!
Join us in welcoming Dr. Abigail Crites, assistant professor at Cornell University, for her talk titled, "Probing the history and evolution of the universe with mm-wavelength spectrometers".
Learn about the recent developments in the field of observational cosmology!
We were recently gifted a beautiful statue titled, "The Physics Paper", created by Dr. Michele Bourdeau, dedicated to the late Prof. A. P. Balachandran and the pursuit of physics. It is currently on display in the office while we scout out a perfect location.

🌌 A two-year puzzle solved: why do some repeating stellar flares near black holes grow dimmer?
@syracusephysics researchers found the missing piece was the star's spin, likely inherited from a binary system torn apart by the black hole before capture. artsandsciences.syracuse.edu…
Our next colloquium speaker is Prof. Shri Kulkarni, George Ellery Hale Professor of Astronomy and Planetary Science at the California Institute of Technology with his talk, "The Seasons of Helium".

Roughly 100 trillion neutrinos just passed through you and you didn't feel a thing ⚛️
It's #NeutrinoDay, and @syracusephysics is part of the global team building DUNE, a detector shielded a mile underground to catch these "ghost particles."

☀️ Another cool day of science!
I’m hanging out with @syracusephysics folks on the Quad to observe the partial solar eclipse. I never get tired of learning about the sun, the moon and the stars. @SUArtSciences 🍊🌌
Congratulations to the new Dr. S M Asif Iqbal for a successful defense of this thesis titled, “Mechanics in Soft Matter: Experimental Studies of Bulk 3D-Printed Structures and Ultrathin Polymer Films.”

🏖️ "Can sand learn?" sounds like a trick question. @syracusephysics professor Jennifer Schwarz means it literally.
Her models of how sand, cells and tissues adapt could point the way to #AI that uses far less energy than it does now.

A black hole devoured a star in 2018, then came back for seconds in 2020. ✨
