Over at Cocktail Party Physics, Jennifer Ouellette offers her Top Ten events at the upcoming World Science Festival in New York City the week after next. The full program is at the festival site, and it looks like there’s even something for the stamp collectors. Probably to keep the cool physics-themed events from being overcrowded.
I would be all over this– NYC is just a few hours away, after all– were it not directly opposite DAMOP. Which offers its own comprehensive slate of physics programming, albeit with fewer celebrities.
If you’re within range of either of these fine events, check them out.
It’s starts the day after I’m in NYC. Damn.
If you visit Google today, you will see a reminder that this is the anniversary of the first operation of a laser in 1960.
I’m surprised you didn’t honor this event!
