Aaaaarrrrrgghhhh!
Powder Day declared with 24 inches of fresh powder!
One of the most wonderful places to do science is the Aspen Center for Physics, it runs a series of summer multi-week meetings and winter one week workshops which are amazingly productive and fun.
Sounds like this season will be really good, and what topics do they pick... clusters of galaxies in cosmological context, and 20th anniversary of SN 1987a. Come on! No fair!

Ah well, we'll hold out breath for 2008...

A few years back, I became aware of Mike Brotherton's Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop, and said "somebody should do this for quantum physics." At the time, I wasn't in a position to do that, but in the interim, the APS Outreach program launched the Public Outreach and Informing the Public Grant…
