How are they handling the layoffs at Fermilab? I heard 200 people are being let go?Pbartender said:BA in Physics, and halfway through an AAS in Electronics.
I'm an RF Technician (Practical Scientist? ) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Not *that* sure, but my focus (and strength) is definitively skewed towards theoretical and/or quantum/particle-physics. Though I suck at everything concerning too much thermodynamics (but statistical physics is pretty okay, just plain thermodynamics just... don't really click - I can only learn that stuff).freyar said:LT: Totally agree about the exams. Good luck with school, any idea what field you want to pursue?

Well, EN World is a friendly place, so we won't hold it against you.Jdvn1 said:Do social scientists count? (hides)
Just looked up your papers on SPIRES (you have some interference from another Bolen who's on a big collaboration, though). Didn't think most of those papers looked too loopy; you mostly work with just higher curvature corrections, right? You'd fit in ok with the string theory crowd probably.bolen said:PhD in loop quantum gravity here. If you look on the ArXiV you can get my papers. (My user name is my last name)
I am a visiting professor teaching all levels of undergraduate courses. (From non-major courses to Griffith's EM)
I am the same guy. I did my masters on the SLD experiment at SLAC.freyar said:Just looked up your papers on SPIRES (you have some interference from another Bolen who's on a big collaboration, though).
