Join SLAC Physicists for Film PremiereCome see SLAC physicists in their cinematic debuts this Friday, as award-winning artist and filmmaker Ken McMullen presents his film Arrows of Time at the San Francisco International Film Festival. The film melds science and culture and includes commentary from cultural figures such as German artist Joseph Beuys and French philosopher Jacques Derrida. The hour-long motion picture installation juxtaposes philosophy, particle physics and radical experiments in a "live cinema experience." It begins with Derrida re-interpreting figures from Sophoclean tragedies, and ends with physicists from SLAC entangled in a 1970s crime story—with bits of technology, art, and poetry in between.
Arrows of Time premieres on Friday, April 27th at 6:30 p.m. at the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. |

Changes to SLAC Telephone DialingA special prefix code is used to access calling features on SLAC's telephone system. On the morning of Monday, April 30, the code will be changed from '6' to '636.' This change is necessary so that we can begin using a new block of telephone numbers obtained from AT&T to accommodate our growing number of telephone users. All SLAC telephone Area Telecommunications Office Motivators (ATOMs) were notified of this change at the beginning of March. Based on feedback we have received, we expect the change to affect a very small percentage of all SLAC telephone users. However, only you, the individual user, know for certain if you use any of these features. Please keep reading to see if this change affects you. Read more... Summer Exchange Program with INFNCalling all third and fourth-year undergraduates! Or at least ones with backgrounds and interest in physics, engineering, or computing studies, and the desire to combine research and travel. The Summer Exchange Program offers a unique opportunity for students to work directly with Italian scientists and absorb their country's rich culture. The deadline for applications is April 29, 2007. The exchange, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics of Italy (INFN), sends U.S. undergraduate students to Italy for eight to ten weeks to work with scientists on projects, while Italian students have similar opportunities stateside. Potential research areas include particle physics, astro-particle physics, nuclear physics, theoretical physics, and detector physics. Information about the Italian program may be found here.
