We apologize for the zoom bombing tonight. We should have taken better precautions, esp. given the turbulent nature of Twitter lately. We are shutting down this account; the mailing list will remain active and we will be developing a process to better protect our community.

Really incredible to be recognized by @APSphysics! Truly a testament to the work everyone has done to make @gopicup what it is. Way too many folks to thank in a tweet. Let’s keep working on this project together. @physicistdanny (for the team) aps.org/programs/honors/priz…

Great update by @veritasium to his original (excellent) video on energy transmission in a circuit. The shout-out to M&I is quite appreciated (@VPython_Code, @aaronptitus). Definitely watch his if you teach circuits #ITeachPhysics youtu.be/oI_X2cMHNe0

I've been thinking a lot about the discourse around "physics is hard." Like, it *is* hard, but implicit in the discussion is a persistent framing of difficulty as a gatekeeping tool (1/n)

Let's Code Physics videos are going to release once per week for the time being. I'm nearing the end of a search for a permanent job and the process is becoming more time-intensive and stressful. Additionally, we're down to 1 car so I can't get to my recording computer as often.
