“Few Body Collisions”

April 18th, 2005 · No Comments

That was the title of one of todays sessions here at the America Physical Society meeting in Tampa. Some other intriguing topics being discussed:

  • Charm Physics
  • Alchemy of the Heaviest Elements
  • Cleo Bottomonia Physics

It’s been great fun re-meeting so many physicist friends–and riding the elevator with hundreds more physicists, including many –but sadly not enough–women physicists. (The pipeline for women from high-school physics to physics full-professorships seems to spring a bad leak somewhere before grad school.)

Physicists come in a lot of different varieties but I have not seen any who’d fit your popular image of naughty conventioneers.

Among the great shirts and bumper stickers for sale, here is my favorite:

PLEASE FLIRT HARDER, I AM A PHYSICIST
