Six years ago, during a science communication session at a conference, we were given the task to explain “why we do what we do” to people unfamiliar with our research. While having this chat with a fellow postdoc, I told him I’m curious about how the human body works, and that is why I became a scientist.

A strange and interesting aspect of MOND is the External Field Effect (EFE). If physics is strictly local, it doesn’t matter what happens outside of an experimental apparatus, only inside it. Examples of gravitational experiments include an Eötvös-style apparatus in a laboratory or a dwarf galaxy in space: in each case, test masses/stars respond to each other’s gravity. The MOND force depends on the acceleration from all sources;

This tidytuesday dataset of colors labels is like the perfect confluence of interests for me! I’ve started learning how to do digital art to illustrate characters for a D&D campaign: Which means I’ve been looking a lot at a color picker that uses Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders (even though they’re not labelled that way).
