Gravitational Wave: anecdote
Unless you live under a rock or you don’t care about science, you probably heard or saw tons of posts about the discovery of gravitational waves today. The video below was filmed in the facility that I manage. The 3D wall in the background is once again just an expensive prop. What you can’t hear or see out of the field of view of the video, is me, my boss, collaborators, and users of the facility, thoroughly annoyed by these people filming in the lobby.
Even though this is fantastic news and I had no idea that Northwestern University had any involvement, I’m still annoyed that I had no warning of the filming.

Yeah, it IS awesome news. Despite the “gravitational waves” in your day, it’s cool that the crew at Northwestern had a hand in this really neat project.
