Lol Ah the made up world fascists live in... this is not a left-right issue. Everyone in the Spanish-speaking world sees América as a continent. In fact, several countries even use “estadounidense” (United-Statian). This is about history and cartography. Plus, before 1898 loads of Americans agreed

Many thanks to Iago Mamede, @mitchison.bsky.social and Carlos Fiore for the great collaboration 🥳

What’s the entropic temperature? As the temperature of finite reservoirs develop fluctuations as they exchange energy quanta with the system, it is the entropic temperature (and not the actual fluctuating temperature) that determines its entropy production 👇

Our work modelling heat engines driven by finite reservoirs has been published in PRE! 
What I really like about this work is that the reservoir's entropic temperature takes centre stage to explain stochastic engines’ performance🔥

Terrifying. Brave woman

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

In the Life: Interview with Kate Bornstein, Leslie Feinberg [unedited footage] YouTube video by UCLA Film & Television Archive

Leslie Feinberg and Kate Bornstein talking movingly and articulately about the trans liberation movement all the way back in 1996.

I think in a time of such rampant transphobia legislatively and culturally it's important to remember what we're fighting for and why.

Hen cages and pig farrowing crates to be outlawed in England Humane slaughter requirements for farmed fish and end to puppy farming also in new package of animal welfare laws Caged hens will be a thing of the past in England, the government has announced, as it launches a package of new animal welfare laws. Pig farrowing crates, which campaigners have said are cruel, will also be banned under the welfare changes. These cramped crates are used to stop pigs from rolling over and crushing their young, but once in them sows cannot turn over or move around at all. Continue reading...

Hen cages and pig farrowing crates to be outlawed in England

there's essentially no reason to expect in general that people know the answer to the question 'why didn't you get the job?'

Very good points from Jess Wade @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social on the risks caused by lack of diversity in quantum

African leaders push for recognition of colonial crimes and reparations Algerian foreign minister says African countries and peoples continue to pay a heavy price for colonialism African leaders are pushing to have colonial-era crimes recognised, criminalised and addressed through reparations. At a conference in the Algerian capital, Algiers, diplomats and leaders convened to advance an African Union resolution passed at a meeting earlier this year calling for justice and reparations for victims of colonialism.

CERN celebrates LGBTQ+ in STEM Day

Today we celebrate and highlight the work of and barriers facing LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering and maths. To mark the date, the Progress Pride flag will fly above the Esplanade des Particules for the third year.

David Greybeard, a wild chimpanzee, gets a handout of bananas from author Goodall, who studies the apes under a National Geographic Society grant. This scene near her camp represents a triumph for Miss Goodall; at first the animals fled if she came within 500 yards. Knapsack holds camera and notebook. She carries a whistle in her pocket to summon searchers in case of accident in the rugged Tanganyika hills.

Had never read Jane Goodall's original 1963 article in Nat Geo on the wild chimpanzees in Tanzania until now. It's a wonderful blend of science and journalism, and well worth your time.

🔍 How uncertain can quantum systems be?
Saulo Moreira shares work developing new bounds that show how quantum effects—like coherence and correlations—can break classical limits on uncertainty.
This helps us better understand how quantum systems behave when measured.

Hey quantum fans. Here's a slightly different #quantum survey from my mind-boggling one on interpretations, but seems important! This group hopes to understand how to help quantum scientists to stay in the field & thrive. If you have time, you can fill it out here👇 www.diviq.org/survey 🧪⚛️

Great to have (most of!) the ToCQS group visiting me here at King’s. Saulo Moreira is currently telling us about his recent work on precision bounds for correlated currents in open quantum systems journals.aps.org/pre/abstract...

Really happy to see the first ToCQS-Quantum Information group @tcddublin.bsky.social collab. out! 🤩 We show how correlations between multiple currents influence their fluctuations in Markovian open quantum systems @mitchison.bsky.social @felixbinder.bsky.social

Great collaboration with Iago Mamede, @mitchison.bsky.social and Carlos Fiore

Steady-state heat engines driven by finite reservoirs We provide a consistent thermodynamic analysis of stochastic thermal engines driven by finite-size reservoirs, which are in turn coupled to infinite-size reservoirs. We consider a cyclic operation mod...

Nanoscale thermal engines are usually assumed to be coupled to infinite reservoirs. What happens to their performance if they are instead driven by finite reservoirs, which are in turn coupled to infinite reservoirs? We looked into this in our new preprint 🧐 arxiv.org/abs/2505.05174
