My name is Vitalia Ann Conners, and my pronouns are she/her.

I am graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology with a BS in #Physics. I have conducted #research in #PulsarTiming for detection of #GravitationalWaves, and I am currently completing my capstone project in #curriculum and interest analysis for introductory-level #astronomy courses. I have successfully completed courses in Extragalactic Astrophysics & Cosmology, General Relativity, and Observational Astronomy.

Built a test setup for my PMT tube, allowing me to bias an LED at really low currents, hopefully catching single photons, or at least a very low count 🙂

Photo Multipliers are insane devices! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤯

This video is meant to explain the setup, stay tuned for my next video where I do actual measurements 🙂🙂

Dance your PhD: Look at this awesome video my old colleagues from @unihannover made! Nice visualization of atom interferometry in microgravity!

What The Soviets Found On Venus

• interesting vid to watch
• learn about Soviet determination
• unreal atmospheric pressures
• temperatures higher than an oven in the atmosphere
• braking systems for probes in water like behaving heavy Venus atmosphere
• Venera 13 had a mic onboard!
• Venus sounds horrifying (at least to my little cousin whose listening in as I make this toot) ;)
• they had sent 14 probes at least to Venus

Yesterday, I dug up some old computational #physics code and something wonderful happend: it worked! Out of the box. Wicked!

I'd written some #matlab code back in ~2002 to solve the diffusion equation. Since I don't have Matlab anymore, I installed #octave and tried to run the code. Give it a go, see what happens. YOLO, and all that. And it ran without change! 😱 Even the plotting worked. I take my hat off to the Octave devs for ensuring such amazing compatibility. Thank you 😃

Edit: I've had lots of wonderful people impart their knowledge and spark curiosity about science. This is all still very new to me but we're learning and that's good!

Hello chemists and physicists of Mastodon!

In my next assignment I have to create a 3D image of a molecule (which I've done) and then I have to label this molecule where we might find H-bonding and London forces. Just one example of each.

I think I understand H-bonding, but when it came to studying London forces I just hoped it wouldn't come up.

Well. It has.

I don't understand London forces at all so I have no idea how to even attempt to label a bond as a London force or not. Is it not all of the bonds? At the moment I just have to randomly guess...
