APS: Welcome to Pittsburgh

apsmarch.jpgGreetings from the American Physical Society's March Meeting. This year it's being held in Pittsburgh, home to Andy Warhol, and for this week, around 7,500 physicists.

This meeting is an unwieldy beast. Researchers in fields from superconductors, to nanotech, to biophysics are all here talking about their work. There's even a talk on watching paint dry, and a session on crumpling things into balls (which actually looks pretty interesting).

Stay tuned...
