Hey all!

So I mention this to a few of you already, but Hidefumi Tomita is giving a talk during a Photon meeting tomorrow. The title of his talk is “Detector Development for Direction-Sensitive Dark Matter Research”. Some of you expressed interest on seeing this and I am currently working with Jess and Ryan about setting up a webchat/Skype so we can listen to the talk too. Photon starts at 5pm (so 11pm here). I know you all probably have better things to do with your Friday evenings but if anyone is interested, come down to our room (Elim, Chelsea and I are in #33) maybe a few minutes to 11pm.

They plan for the talk to be 30 mins so it will definitely be over by midnight.

We will also get to say hi to our Boston friends! Let me know if you are interested in coming! (I will buy some sort of snack for us all if I am feeling generous at the time?)
