Due to the Thanksgiving holiday and a nasty travel\/work schedule through this week (including some history of physics in industry-related interviews at 3M and Honeywell in Minneapolis-St. Paul), posting has been and will be curtailed until next week, though I am planning on working in a Hump Day History post for Wednesday.<\/p>\n
For those who don’t regularly visit some of the sites on the blog roll, I’ll point out that the online grad student journal Hydra<\/a> is up and accepting submissions.\u00a0 Also, it’s been a while since I’ve plugged the Pauling Blog<\/a> from the Oregon State Special Collections, which continues to impress me mightily by putting out frequent and high quality multimedia content on Linus Pauling.<\/p>\n Finally, there’s an interesting discussion going on in the science press that’s caught my eye.\u00a0 It concerns what titles and office space mean for the status of science advisers in government.\u00a0 See this article by David Goldston from the Sep. 25th Nature<\/em><\/a> (subscription required), and an article by David Kramer in the Issues and Events section of December Physics Today<\/em> (not yet online), featuring reaction from current presidential science adviser John Marburger, as well as reactions from several previous advisers.\u00a0 It’s an interesting question with a long pedigree.<\/p>\n Will<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Due to the Thanksgiving holiday and a nasty travel\/work schedule through this week (including some history of physics in industry-related interviews at 3M and Honeywell in Minneapolis-St. Paul), posting has been and will be curtailed until next week, though I am planning on working in a Hump Day History post for Wednesday.
