Upcoming Talks: New Paltz Tonight, Nashville Next Week

By drorzel on March 17, 2015.

I keep forgetting to mention these, but I have two talks coming up:

1) Tonight, March 17, I'm talking about Eureka to the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association on the campus of SUNY New Paltz. This is a version of the talk I gave in Bristol, UK over the summer, but with the soccer content replaced with American football.

2) Next Thursday, March 26, I'll be giving a Forman Lecture as part of the Vanderbilt University Physics Colloquium (following in Rhett's footsteps...). This is going to be a revised version of the social-media talk I've given in the past. I need to blow that up and put it back together, though, because it's gotten a little stale. Also, I need to send them a title and abstract.

So, if you happen to be in the Hudson valley tonight, or Tennessee next week, and want to hear me talk science, stop on by.

(Also, this is it for today's blogging, as I need to do a bunch of talk prep...)

"Talking Dogs and Galileian Blogs" at Vanderbilt, Thursday 3/26/15

I mentioned last week that I'm giving a talk at Vanderbilt tomorrow, but as they went to the trouble of writing a press release, the least I can do is share it: It’s clear that this year’s Forman lecturer at Vanderbilt University, Chad Orzel, will talk about physics to almost anyone. After all,…

"What Every Dog Should Know About Quantum Physics" at New Paltz Tuesday Night

March Appearances

I've been really, really bad about using this blog to promote stuff I have coming up, but I'll be doing two public-ish appearances in the month of March, and I probably ought to announce those here: 1) Next week, on Wednesday, March 2, I'll be giving the Physics Colloquium at the University of…

Go On Till You Come to the End; Then Stop

October 31, 2017

ScienceBlogs is coming to an end. I don't know that there was ever a really official announcement of this, but the bloggers got email a while back letting us know that the site will be closing down. I've been absolutely getting crushed between work and the book-in-progress and getting Charlie the…

Meet Charlie

October 30, 2017

It's been a couple of years since we lost the Queen of Niskayuna, and we've held off getting a dog until now because we were planning a big home renovation-- adding on to the mud room, creating a new bedroom on the second floor, and gutting and replacing the kitchen. This was quite the undertaking…

Physics Blogging Round-Up: August

September 1, 2017

Another month, another set of blog posts. This one includes the highest traffic I think I've ever seen for a post, including the one that started me on the path to a book deal: -- The ALPHA Experiment Records Another First In Measuring Antihydrogen: The good folks trapping antimatter at CERN have…

The Age Math Game

August 22, 2017

I keep falling down on my duty to provide cute-kid content, here; I also keep forgetting to post something about a nerdy bit of our morning routine. So, let's maximize the bird-to-stone ratio, and do them at the same time. The Pip can be a Morning Dude at times, but SteelyKid is never very happy to…

Kid Art Update

August 13, 2017

Our big home renovation has added a level of chaos to everything that's gotten in the way of my doing more regular cute-kid updates. And even more routine tasks, like photographing the giant pile of kid art that we had to move out of the dining room. Clearing stuff up for the next big stage of the…
