Tracking has always been at the ❤️ of the scientific method, from planetary motion to single particles.

Weiqing’s thesis intro on tracking was so beautiful we turned it into a perspective in JCP who then selected it as a #Scilight.

Take a look! 😊

The EPA has quietly removed its updated 2025 Scientific Integrity Policy, rolling the agency back to its 2012 policy and erasing more than a decade of lessons learned about how to protect science from political interference. open.substack.com/pub/scilight...

Since it's a featured article at Am J Phys it comes with its own "Scilight," a summary written by a science journalist. A new experience for me, normally I'm the one writing press releases or similar on other people's articles :-) 2/
