1/6 đ Today is #CleanAirDay, and I am so thrilled to have spent my morning at @HBInfants School interacting with the children the power of science and technology in combating air pollution! This was covered by @itvcalendar on tv tonight at 6pm. A thread đ #AirQuality 
2/6 𧪠The highlight of my day was interacting with these bright young minds and introducing them to the world of air pollution sensors. Their questions on how the sensors work were a pleasant reminder of the curiosity and wisdom that comes with youth. #STEMEducation
3/6 đ¤ One intriguing question was, "Why this specific school?" Well, Hunters Bar Infants School serves as a living example of how proactive measures can mitigate the effects of air pollution on a local level. @HBInfants #LocalHeroes
@CO2Coalition To understand how CO2/temp relate, we need to explore #physics,
& the chem properties of the #carbondioxide molecule.
Learn about CO2âs #DipoleMoment & how change in energy balance affects DENSITY, & behavior.
Shit, I burnt my toast.

@CO2Coalition Dipole moments are the change in energy between atoms.
Think of this energy change as a soccer ball w a force towards a specific direction. This âpullsâ naturally on atoms when they join together to make molecules.
Its based on the atomsâ electrons.

The closer the electron to the center, the faster it has to spin. #MolecularOrbitalDiagrams for CO2 show us where electrons spin based on energy available.

With all the rage about ChatGPT, have you ever wondered about the differences between AI and more classical technologies? Join me for a brief tour, with its relation to Aerospace. @RedDivulga, @filarramendi, @uc3m y @doctoradoUC3M. Â @PhDAaeroUC3M #PhD #Aerospace #Engineering
ChatGPT, and its equivalents work like buttonsmashing. You have a bajillion buttons, and them you mash, tweak, and tune them randomly. Like this young Alien Stu is doing in the Pixar short movie Lifted.
Stu is trying to learn how to abduct humans. I know, a very Aerospace oriented scenario. Consider him as Chatgpt in its beginnings. He pushes random buttons, and not surprisingly, nothing really works. However, the more he tries, the more he learns the buttons

@yessmanstu @GeraldKutney @goddeketal This is a similar explanation to how other molecules (with different properties) absorb different wavelengths of light (energy)
#physics #STEMeducation
Every molecule is different, and it has to do w how many electrons can move and change their orbitals

@yessmanstu @GeraldKutney @goddeketal Molecular orbital diagrams talk about where electrons likely are in any given combination of elements. chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/InâŚ
For CO2 the way the electrons spin depends on how much energy the molecule has, and the levels look like this (MO diagram from flickr.com/photos/6905729âŚ)

My students in S&P have their first problem set due at the end of this week, so here's some examples of the kind of stuff I want them to work on this week. First, the goal: Practice with dot-products, vectors, trig, and using formulas. Time to calculate stuff! <1/n>
Many of the problems are quite dull: Here are some dot-products, practice multiplying and adding. Here are some trig functions (and inverses) to calculate. Here are two points - calculate the Euclidean distance between them. Hopefully this is re-awakening old skills. <2/n>
Next, I almost always introduce them to the formula for calculating visual angle in one way or another. The easier way to do this is to give them the formula and ask them to explain why it is what it is. The point is to practice reasoning about math and talking about it. <3/n>
Ah, #AdamSmith on education. Something to aggravate every. single. reader. Letâs go! (V.i.f) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
Providing educational institutions is part of the duty of the sovereign, but those institutions can be made to produce some of the money needed to maintain them. We naturally do that already, because we pay teachers and endow colleges. (V.i.f.1â2)#WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
BUT Smith isnât a fan of endowing schools.
Or at least, he has a lot of questions about how much the endowments have improved the education students get. (V.i.f.3)#WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

Well.. wouldn't the position of the sun remain the same all year?
No! And that's thanks to the combination of the Earth's tilt and our non-circular orbit around the sun.

Good morning! Someone sent me a photo to ID last week and I thought it'd be a perfect time to bring back Wednesday's Weather Word (a subsidiary of #ScienceBehind)

Hard to spell
Difficult to say (at least for me)
And sometimes even challenging to see.
This sight is usually seen better around sunrise or sunset, due to the scattering of light during those times.

Anticrepuscular rays are often dimmer than their counterpart: crepuscular rays
The latter term comes from the Latin for "twilight". Crepuscular rays occur when sunlight streams through breaks in the clouds (some other objects can cause this, too)

Last week we talked about aphelion and this week I've got something I call #WednesdaysWord (an obviously extremely creative name for a subsidiary of #ScienceBehind).
So let's do some science, shall we?

So where exactly do these clouds form? It's in an area of the atmosphere called the mesosphere
We live in the troposphere and that's where our weather happens. Noctilucent clouds don't produce any weather, however

Y'all remember my series #ScienceBehind that used to air on Wednesdays? It's cool if you don't - a LOT has been going on.
I don't have a new video but let's do a new installment via tweet thread (I know it's not an innovative idea but I remembered there's science this week)

Time for the jellybean illusion! You donât actually need a jellybean, just some type of chewable candy, preferably with different colors & flavors. M&Mâs: NOT be a good choice, gold bears: fine.

Get comfy, get your candy out, and choose two pieces of different colors/flavors. Pick up one of those two, it doesnât matter which.
Now, STEP 1: PINCH YOUR NOSE so you can no longer breathe in or out through your nose. You can use a swimmers pincher or even a clothespin too, but using two fingers is probably more comfortable and pretty easy.
I use interviews as an educational opportunityâfor me and a future #UndergradInTheLab. I start each interview by saying, âYouâre already qualified for this position-- after all youâre in college.â Then I focus on learning about them.

@NewPI_Slack My interview goals are to determine
1) If the student is genuinely interested in the available research project
2) If they will likely achieve their goals through the overall experience

@NewPI_Slack Determining these, however, can be complicated. Often, students donât have a well-defined goal beyond landing an undergrad research position. Or sometimes they have unrealistic expectations of what research will be like & what theyâll accomplish in a semester.

Seeing early responses, here's a clarification:
These values are not intended as opposites or mutually exclusive.
'Recognition' doesn't mean 'undeserved recognition without contribution'
Just asking for a forced rank of what's most important.
Carry on :)
