Celebrated PhysicsFest in new Small Hall. Several exciting events were planned for the day. To name a few: public lectures from physics professors and our undergraduate students on a wide spectrum of topics (including overview of Small Hall history, discussion of faster-than-light neutrino experiments, and science of chocolate), opportunity to visit new research laboratories in Small Hall, hands-on "physics playroom" and eveyone's favorite liquid nitrogen ice cream.
Many visitors, including W&M alumni and their families as well as local middle/high school students and their families came by our photon spectroscopy lab. See below for pictures of visitors to our lab.
