APS 2009: Denver
Well here we are in Denver, at the American Physical Society April meeting, which this year just so happens to be in May. Denver, the mile-high city, should be in springtime bloom, all alpine sunshine and wildflowers. But it is colder than a Bose-Einstein condensate. Oh well -- there's so much good stuff going on in the basement of the Sheraton here that I probably won't be leaving the hotel. There are 1,025 preregistered attendees -- about the same as last year, says Don Wise of APS. But the number of abstracts are down slightly: 1,089, compared to 1,194 from last year.
