sorry for the short post

So after chem on Friday's we have these presentation from distinguished people about recent research and today it was about superparamagnetism and magnetic refrigeration, and the dude brought in his dad's 1994 Noble Prize for Physics for his work in elastic neutron diffraction, then he lat us all hold it and get a good look at it (SWEET!!!!). So that made my week/month. He has chaired international committees on nanotechnology and was instrumental in getting the government on board to fund the whole shebang. So he is kinda a big deal in the science world (currently works for NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology)).
