It is very cool to be here at UBC giving the colloquium talk and meeting with profs and students! Especially because I was on the other side of that ~15 years ago as a PhD student.
The impostor syndrome is going to be intense today... I keep reminding myself of a quote from Alie Ward on Ologies: impostor syndrome is a result of a space not being built for you.
UBC physics department, I am here to share my knowledge and I am a tenured professor now! So there.

#ProfSamLectureTour(I should add that as far as physics departments go, UBC is actually pretty good and appears to have gotten even better since I was a student here. But the bar is low, and academia in general is a tough space to fit into except for an extremely small subset of the population who are very overrepresented in physics departments. So, hello, impostor syndrome!)

Hey, Sam, you've got this!!!also I hope if the dept and community has changed since you were there as a student, that you get to feel welcome. And if it hasn't , that you show ppl looking for their place that they are welcome in the field.
(UBC is my alma mater too-- not physics tho)

@cyberlyra Thank you for this note!! I really appreciate it.

Speaking of impostor syndrome, maybe agreeing to do an interview on Artemis 2 (which I don't actually know much about) for a local Sask radio station before I've even left my hotel room to get breakfast (or caffeine!!) was not a great idea...

@sundogplanets First rule of news interviews: If they say you're an expert, you're an expert.

no problem. In German we have a phrase for this:
Mut zur Lücke!
which can be translated as "courage to leave gaps" - matches perfect to impostor syndrome

There are subjects I've studied where I think "omg I don't understand this!". But I still know that my ignorance entails more knowledge than most people have, so it's probably worth it to share what I have if asked.
I'd bet an awful lot that it's the same thing with you and any J. Random Satellite. You've met people with profound knowledge, but you are a great communicator who actually has a lot of information to share.
You just need to manage your road coffee better. 😆

@echopapa Oh I really like this! Thank you for sharing

I think you could spend hours imparting your profound knowledge of space exploration and astronomy/astrophysics. If necessary, just elegantly change the subject. And if nothing else works, there are always the cute goats.

@Madmonkey @quinta dai che qualcosa finalmente si muove, ci voleva giusto l'invasione della Groenlandia perchè si accorgessero di mastodon 😅

In una settimana è stato raggiunto un terzo delle firme necessarie.
Firmate, condividete e fate firmare.
È importante, anche per scrollarsi di dosso un po' di questo senso di impotenza che ci sta fiaccando.
Basta una firma apposta via SPID o CieID.

@_elena Honestly, I think that will only create a sense of division: "Mine is better than yours".
I don't believe that's what the world needs now. I think we need to try to find a common ground. For example, why did they choose the ATProto?
Although I would prefer them to have decided on ActivityPub, maybe they have a reason.

@celestia now if you were to play a bunch of notes kind of randomly but working your way up the spectrum with just something simple like a sine wave to provide the voicing, you'll notice that the timbre feels different between any two points, and there's sort of bands that are almost octave sized but not quite. The most significant ones in my opinion are the two / three that overlap with human speech, a rank or two of "above that" and "below that".

Ciao. Mi sto infognando con una #stampa3d da 27 ore
Muahahaha.
Se vuoi che vada tutto bene manda una preghiera al 144 144 852 o scrivi "Amen" nei commenti.

@celestia@tech.lgbt i'm sorry if i came off harsh, just woke and grumpy, C just gets boring after awhile, and there's subtle emotional differences between notes, but it doesn't make that much a difference

@adicon Quando vedrò un litro di benzina riciclabile cambierò idea, ma per adesso elettrico über alles! ⚡️

@celestia play bflat major for them and ask them. then, if they say its c major, play c major for them and ask them what that was.
think about it this way, forget scales for a moment and just think about sound in terms of an arbitrary frequency spectrum. 55hz and 14080khz are both "A" but they don't sound the same at all. like you could play a major scale using either as the tonic but they would sound very different despite both being "A major"
