AI Thread Summary
The 2007 APS March Meeting is approaching, set to be one of the largest physics conferences in the US, with around 7,000 attendees participating in talks and poster sessions. The meeting focuses on Hard Condensed Matter Physics, encompassing solid state, chemical and biological physics, and materials science. It serves as a significant gathering for students, professors, and researchers from various sectors. While the weather in Denver during March is expected to be less than ideal, with temperatures typically in the 40s and 50s, some attendees express fondness for the cold. There is also interest in whether any celebrations occurred for the 20th Anniversary of the "Woodstock of Physics." Additionally, there are inquiries about Physics Forums merchandise, specifically T-shirts.

There's only a month to go before the 2007 APS March Meeting begins.

For those not familiar with the March Meeting, this is possibly the biggest annual physics conference in the US, and this year, will be hosting about 7000 attendees who will give short talks, man posters sessions or give invited talks. The fields of study that are relevant to this meeting include most areas related to Hard Condensed Matter Physics (solid state, chemical and biological physics, and materials science). It's a HUGE convention that brings together college and grad students with professors and government/industry researchers from all around the world.

The thing that will suck the most will likely be the weather. Denver in march - yuck! But then, there are some crazies who love the cold weather. :rolleyes:

Is anyone else going?

Thanks Gokul. I let my APS membership lapse, but I shouldn't have. One of my best friends is in Denver (a pediatrician specialist now). Maybe it's time to say hi!
 
The weather in Denver was perfect: 40s and 50s most of the time! And no, I didn't see anyone out there wearing a PF T-shirt :(
 
You should have done a blog on the March Meeting, Gokul. That would have been fun to read. I'm reading the one done on http://physicsweb.org/blog/".

BTW, was there any celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Woodstock of Physics? Did you go to it?

Zz.

When did PF get shirts? Where can I get them?
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
