New York Times: Scientists Chirp Excitedly for LIGO, Gravitational Waves and Einstein
|
There was a social media storm which led up to and included the announcement of the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
This excitement caused many physicists to "chirp" for LIGO, under the hashtag #chirpforLIGO. The chirping comes from the final part of the black hole binary's coalescence, when the frequency increases dramatically, making this characteristic chirp. My colleagues and I are featured here, chirping for LIGO, in a clip featured in the New York Times. |

Social Media Outreach: If We Ran the World (June 2010 - present)
If we ran the world (IFRTW) is an online forum where you can create an "Action Platform" and then break down your ideas into "microactions". Other members can pick these up and do them for you, helping you to complete your action.
My Action Platform is called "Make science accessible to everyone" and was started in June 2010. I currently have 9 "superheroes" who are helping me achieve my goals and 14 microactions have been completed :)

** this article was, in opinion, ruined by rookie editors who spliced the intro and conclusion paragraph together and cut everything else out. Needless to say this was upsetting.
