--- Woooooooot ---
I have done it, finally! The small book part 1 is out. It is already available in some channels. Alas, most of you will not be able to enjoy it much due to the language barrier ^^ http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/3658116269 Now, to finish the big book and the small book part 2...

I'd buy it but I don't understand German...or physics.
But woot woot indeed

So, the LHC is back on since Easter!
Collisions and measurements will commence in late April I think. By this Summer, we might know whether there really is a new Boson at 750 GeV, and get other interesting measurements. ![[Image: lhc1.png?0.31287910596794344]](https://vistar-capture.web.cern.ch/vistar-capture/lhc1.png?0.31287910596794344)

Fuck I'm so jealous of your job.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'm currently not working in academia bc. of family related reasons (I would have had to change countries because there are basically no suitable jobs in my specialty around, which is kind of a problem with a small child and wife with a permanent contract), so my job right now is to write and edit science books from my home office and change diapers. Not such a bad job actually, I'm quite productive. Still, I get to closely follow the developments. I might be able to publish a scientific publication again soon. There'll be a booklet about current developments at the LHC coming out in a few weeks time, and two textbooks, one undergrad and one advanced, in German though.

LHC, go go go !!!
We need science cheerleaders!  (I'm not sure if I can divulge screenshots of JET operations mimics, but I guarantee that they look just as ugly as CERN's  )

Well it's gone better than my academic career even with a husband that follows me around and no child. Despite all the hype there are no AI jobs, except in Big Data which I don't count as AI. But there are plenty of jobs in software engineering because that's where the need is. Unfortunately I find software engineering tedious and not challenging in the slightest. But because computing in industry has been so successful there is very little funding for it in academia, well at least in the UK. The one advantage my field has though is it's still possible to do experiments at home on your own computers. But this takes a very long time. I'm hoping to submit a paper next month that I've been working on for the last 6 years. My academic career might be dead but I still want to achieve something, even if no one reads it. I did wonder about retraining and going into biology but that would take a long time and I'm just not that interested in it to be honest. And I'd still probably be a code monkey at the end of the day having to sort out crappy amateurish code written by biologists. RE: First collisions at the LHC with unprecedented Energy!

I might apply for some AI related jobs this month just for the heck of it. Maybe I get a good offer
