I can't believe I missed Perkins' birthday and the birthday of the board.
Happy birthday, erika!

Does anyone know of any new physics news? Ideally something that high school students can summarize, if not comprehend. And it can't be the Hadron collider, unless something new has happened.

It just had to be before the student decided to leave class to ask his physics teacher. Sorry!

Cool unexpected thing of the day: About 20 minutes after I got here this morning, several of the secretaries walked in with 2 breakfast cakes and a box full of Mexican pastries as a belated birthday thing.
