Very excited about @Fermilab seminar tomorrow!
It will present a new measurement of the W boson mass to be published soon, no #openscience article yet.
There are already articles appearing, but in this thread, I try to explain why this is important with one (famous) plot

Why? Because the W boson is really important for the standard model, particularly for checking its consistency. I'm really excited!
The standard model, the physics theory that particle physics use is great at predicting things. This plot checks its internal consistency by comparing different ways to determine the mass of two particles: the W boson (connected to the weak interaction) and the top quark
