Robert Myers and Netta Engelhardt both had breakthrough realizations while driving; Myers on entanglement entropy, Engelhardt on black hole quantum information. Do physicists really do their best thinking behind the wheel?

Leonard Susskind recalls a pivotal moment in physics: a meeting with Gerard ’t Hooft and Stephen Hawking. Hawking argued that black holes destroy information, an idea that sounded plausible, yet troubling. Ultimately wrong, but transformative. The brilliance wasn’t in the answer, but the question.

At QIQG 2025, a Stanford postdoc shared advice for students: don’t get trapped in one subfield. Physics’ biggest breakthroughs often emerge at intersections; like quantum information and quantum gravity. Where do you see untapped connections?

A little owl was spotted in the middle of the road. The tour bus stopped, and the tour guide got out and went to remove the owl from harm's way. She released the bird by the road side. Not sure leaving the owl there was the right thing to do, and there was no mention of Animal Rescue being called.

Besties, quick reality check! EPA says they’re absolutely cooking on PFAS protections… Twin, that’s CAP! The safeguards that keep these “forever chemicals” out of our water and food are actually getting rolled back. And if you ask us? That’s a flop. Respectfully, EPA, negative aura points.
