Physicists and the first computing revolution
https://www.nature.com/articles/s42254-023-00614-y

The noteworthy role physicists played in the computing revolutions triggered by the invention of the transistor, or the World Wide Web, is well known. But less so is their influential part in the early days of computing. This is the account of how physics and computing started a long-lasting affair — a story with unexpected parallels with the current revolution in AI.

بحران در فیزیک با شان کرول
دنیای این روزهای علم، قسمت ۳

شان کرول پادکست معروفی داره که معمولا با آدم‌های سرشناس حوزه‌های مختلف علم صحبت می‌کنه. به تازگی در یک قسمت نسبتا طولانی چهار ساعته بدون مهمان خاصی، راجع به بحران در فیزیک حرف زده. ممکنه این روزها ببینید یا بشنوید که بحرانی در فیزیک هست یا سرعت رشد فیزیک در حال کاهشه. خصوصا اگه اطراف فیزیکدونای انرژی بالا و ذراتی‌ها بوده باشین. قصد من از این نوشته این نیست که به این بپردازم که بحرانی که در موردش صحبت میشه دقیقا چیه و چرا این حرف زده میشه. چون با یک جست‌وجوی ساده می‌تونید ببینید مردم چرا این حرف رو می‌زنن. سوای این، شان کرول خودش ابتدای این قسمت از پادکستش این مسئله رو مطرح می‌کنه و به ابعاد مختلفش می‌پردازه و می‌گه که به چه دلایلی چه کسایی فکر می‌کنن که فیزیک در بحرانه. بعدش هم در چهار ساعت سعی می‌کنه که پاسخ معقولی به این پرسش بده که اصلا بحرانی داریم یا نه؟!

قصد من از این نوشته پرداختن به یک ساعت آخر حرفای کروله که به فضای حرفه‌ای علم می‌پردازه. به این که بالاخره علم توسط آدم‌ها انجام میشه و احساسات افراد و رقابت‌های شغلی در داوری‌هاشون اثر می‌ذاره و هر چیزی که تا به امروز انجام شده ماحصل همه ایده‌هاییه که زمانی معقول و زمانی نامعقول شمرده میشدن. در ادامه بخش‌هایی از حرفای کرول رو می‌ذارم و در مورد نکاتی که به نظرم مهمه که دانشجوهای دکتری و تازه واردها به پژوهش بدونن کمی می‌نویسم.

COVID boosters are back

Across the Northern Hemisphere, public-health officials are rushing to roll out autumn COVID-19 vaccination campaigns to guard against a fresh batch of SARS-CoV-2 variants. In England, officials moved the start date for administering an updated booster to Monday — roughly a month earlier than planned. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday recommended newly formulated boosters to all people above the age of six months. “Anyone who takes it will benefit,” says immunologist Rafi Ahmed.
