I was up early today to give a second year lecture on electromagnetism... I try to highlight historical scientists but one thing that bothers me is that most of the scientists we talk about in first/second year physics are men.

Scientists like Faraday, Gauss, Maxwell (some people I've talked about this term) did amazing work! And it's great to highlight where the equations come from, but I also want to make sure that female students can see themselves in physics, past present & future.

I think last year teaching electromagnetism the only female scientist I mentioned was Emmy Noether, an incredible theoretical physicist (though some would argue her work is too advanced for second year undergrads): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy_Noet…

But I would love to include more female scientists when I teach, and I'm open to suggestions!

A thread:

On why it’s problematic that economists take preferences as given.

Of course, a caveat, this isn’t a problem for a lot of econ.

Where preferences are in fact fairly stable and safely taken as exogenous.

Eg firms, for the most part, maximize profits. Investment bankers like making more money. Consumers want cheaper milk.

(Second caveat: if you have been following my tweets. You will have seen some of these points made before. This is an attempts to compile the examples into one thread, and make the case more clear and compelling.)

Who ordered *that*? @ManishEarth

So I'm seeing a lot of misunderstandings around voting systems, especially when it pertains to voting machines. It occurs to me that people may not have a clear idea about how they actually work, and what properties they try to uphold, and how they try to be fraud-resilient.

So systems like these interest me for the same reasons cryptography does -- they're interesting constraint sets with complex dynamics, and are kinda fun to roll around in your head with various situations.

This year I signed up as a poll worker to help, and to learn more.

This thread will mostly be about how voting in Alameda County, CA works. I'll try to highlight properties considered important more broadly, but the exact dynamics of what I describe are county-specific.

A Jikook au in which Jungkook befriends a new student on his university campus without knowing that he’s the same “big deal dancer and model” that everyone was talking about—all he knows is that Park Jimin is really pretty and he has a crush.

Notes:
-starting late tonight or tomorrow!
-tags: jikook, strangers to lovers, fluff, light angst, possible nsfw
-this might have some sugar baby vibes too tbh
-please like/share if you enjoy!
-also quote/rt instead of replying!
-let’s get started ✨✨✨

By the time Jungkook has gotten to the main part of campus, his class has already started. It’s a core class, something he doesn’t like but is required to take, so he decides on the spot that he’s not going to bother trying to get in late. He hates disrupting big classes,

(THREAD) BREAKING: The Senate has released the transcript of Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony—and it confirms he lied to Congress just has he's lied to the American people about his contact with Kremlin agents. This thread is an analysis of his testimony—I hope you'll read and share.

1/ First, understand that "agent" is a legal term. An "agent" is a person authorized by another person to act in their stead—and with their authority—in performing a task. If the authorization is for a specific task, the agent is a "special agent." If general, a "general agent."

2/ Sometimes, a "principal"—the person who authorizes an agent to act in their stead—will authorize his or her "agent" to *themselves* use new agents in the performance of their authorized task. So, Principal A may authorize Agent B to use various sub-agents to accomplish a task.
