Fermilab scientist Joel Butler has been awarded the American Physical Society's 2026 W.K.H. Panofsky Prize for his contributions to high-energy physics. The discussion raises questions about the timing of the award, suggesting it may be premature to announce it so far in advance. There is also a comment regarding the perception of Fermilab, humorously mistaking it for a women-only research facility. Additionally, some participants express skepticism about physicists adopting practices similar to those in the automobile industry. The conversation highlights both recognition in the field and concerns about the award's timing and implications.

I thought for a moment it was Femilab, a women-only research facility.

Isn't it a bit early for 2026? I dunno that physicists should adopt the techniques of automobile manufacturers.
 

Thread 'Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?'

To some degree, this thread is inspired by PF user erobz's thread "Why do we spend so much time learning grammar in the public school system?" That's why I made a title to this thread that paralleled the title of erobz's thread. I totally disagree with erobz. I created this thread because the curriculum of grammar at Universities is a totally distinct topic from the topic of the curriculum of grammar in public schools. I have noticed that the English grammar of many ( perhaps most)...
