Old, New, Cyclic, and Ultra-Blue: Visualizing the Last 400 Years of Solar Activity
Historic observations of sunspot variability have improved our understanding of the solar cycle tremendously, but recent reanalyses of these data has yielded a conflicted view on solar variability within the past few centuries. Today’s paper shows how we can both better visualize existing historic data and where we can go next in understanding the long-term variability of our closest star.
Beyond the Binary: Gender in Physics Education
This bite focuses on an article that synthesizes and covers previous reports in gender in physics education. The authors draw on these reports to propose a nuanced treatment of gender in physics education research.
