Beam going, physics going on at the LHC

-
I know I haven't written about the last few days about my work, and I hope to remedy that soon. So far, too many things to catch up on and I'm exhausted post international travel. But I'll like to paste the page to this interesting site that will keep you informed of some of the most important parameters experimentalists at the LHC are looking up for and how much weight they place on these factors in helping them in elucidating an experimental breakthrough that will either explain or disproved existing theories of particle and nuclear physics

 Refresh this link for constant updates, though some updates may not come for hours. The increasing luminosity is good news for the physicist, for they place much weight on its ontological importance for good and high quality collisions.

Now I have to go back to preparing for tomorrow's visit to the Niels Bohr Library and Archive. I haven't had time to go see much of the sights yet, being tired as I am now. Might just sleep early instead and wake up to a fresh start. Nonetheless, more interesting things will happen in the weeks to come, especially in the dead of the night (as it has happened throughout my two weeks at CERN).

Containing Toxicity: Nuclear Waste as a Societal Challenge

-

      What qualifies as "toxic" in society is an inherently unstable category, dependent on risk assessment, structures of profit but also cultural ideas about safety and health. This joint lecture focus es on a specific form of toxicity, namely nuclear toxicity, through the example of management of nuclear fuel resource s, especially in their aftermath as waste. Starting with an overview of technoscientific risks consideration of nuclear, we will venture into questions of safety, recycling, storage, and stakeholders interpretation through art, broaching case-studies from Europe, Asia and the US.   This joint-lecture falls under the Leonardo Lecture series, under the auspice of Excursus of Energy Transitions under the remit of  "Resource Policy."   https://www.leonardo.rwth-aachen.de/en/modules/suse-2023/resource-policy-2/

A Philosophy of Artscience: Something Old, Something Novel

-
The public lecture will take place on  June 7, at 5 pm(CET) w at the Stadtpalais, Theaterstraße 75, 52062 Aachen. You can also attend online via the following link https://rwth.zoom.us/j/91769488851?pwd=VnBKc1l1M0JRSzBzRDIwZFBodFlYQT09 Meeting-ID: 917 6948 8851 Kenncode: 477889 ABSTRACT: This talk explores how one could develop and apprehend a philosophically intuited syzygy that is art and science, giving way to art-science and artscience (without the hyphen). However, this is not merely about what philosophy could do for artscience (the un-hyphenated version is the speaker’s preferred choice for reasons to be explained in the talk), but also untangles and highlights the simultaneous (and comparative) philosophical arguments that invariably, even if not intentionally, exert the co-existence of art-like (filtered through aesthetics) and science-like (filtered through cognitive acts of logic) subjects in epistemological discussions that often reinforce reductive representations of art a

Updates on some forthcoming changes for this blog

  For anyone who still occasionally checks on this blog, you will realize irregular the updates had been. Things had been hectic since the last update back in May 2023 (and that was merely a cut-and-paste from an existing text), which was also around the time when I was engage in some next-steps activities. Due to both life and professional changes, I have decided to make some changes to what this blog's purpose will be going forward, while also giving context to the why of these changes. 1. This blog will be used more for making announcements and updates relating to all aspects of my professional and creative activities. 2. To catch up on my non-academic writings and quasi-academic writings not published elsewhere, please check out my  Medium page, which has been active since August 2023, although I am not writing at the same frequency or purpose as someone who wants to make big bucks through writing (though of course I appreciate making some money for the effort expended).
