You, whoever you are, should come to this week’s meeting. It’ll be tomorrow, Thursday, April 27th, 2006, at 5:00 PM in ISB 231/235, and you should probably use the chi-square test to see if its distribution adequately fits the following:
Speaker: Professor Anthony Aguirre
Topic: Part 2 of “Finding a Home in the Multiverse”
Prof. Aguirre will present the rest of the stuff he didn’t get a chance to cover last time, and last time was really really really good. Even if you weren’t there for Part 1, I suspect that Part 2 will be both interesting and self-contained. So please come.
Coffee, soda and some food will be present, too.
Check back later for more announcements about upcoming events, like a special two-part SPS Movie Night and the scavenger hunt and the BBQ and field trips and probably some other stuff.
Ed is the standard text editor.

This week’s meeting is a planning and steering meeting, so if you’d like to know more about upcoming events or be more involved with SPS events and decisions, please stop by with ideas, jokes, criticisms, acrid denouncements, or kind words.
This also means that we don’t have a speaker this week.
However, next week, Thursday, April 27th, Prof. Anthony Aguirre will give the rest of his presentation on “Finding a Home in the Multiverse” that he didn’t get a chance to finish from last quarter, so please make a note of it.
Both this week and next week, though, we’ll have coffee, soda, snacks, of course.

Welcome back from spring break. I brushed up on ODEs and did some tensor analysis during mine, which means that yours, no matter what it was, was at least thirty times less fun. Sorry about that.
Our first meeting of the quarter will be on April 13th, 2006, in ISB 231/235, at 5 PM, and the probability is one that it will look like this:
Panel: Physics and astrophysics graduate students
Topic: Graduate school
Some of us will be in grad school in a few years. The esteemed members of our panel are there right now.
Bring all your questions and ruminations, about anything from the application process to qualifying exams to grad student expectations to finding a thesis advisor, and be prepared to have your preconceptions challenged and ruined.
There’s no better way to start out the quarter than by having something ruined.
Coffee, snacks, and soda will be there, because some of us like that sort of thing.
Also, check the meeting schedule (soon, I swear) for this quarter’s upcoming speakers.

A whole bunch of new pictures have been uploaded [finally].
(Now you can stop being mad at me Brenna for not posting your pictures. I’ve just been lazy. I admit it.)
So enjoy everyone!!
