Symposium Honors Helen QuinnLast Friday more than 150 colleagues and supporters gathered in Kavli Auditorium to celebrate the accomplishments of SLAC Professor Emeritus Helen Quinn. The symposium honored Quinn's more than four decades as a particle physics theorist with presentations exploring four areas in which she has made significant impact: gauge theories and the Standard Model; axions; B physics and CP violation; and science education.

Editor's Note: Adjusting Outlook 2007 to View SLAC Today E-mailUnless you're receiving the text-only version of SLAC Today, you've likely noticed some issues with the e-mail layout recently. The lab's updated e-mail client, Outlook 2007, sends and displays SLAC Today differently from its predecessor, and includes a default setting that removes formatting. To see SLAC Today with formatting intact, click the blue bar at the top of the e-mail message, which reads "This message was converted to plain text," then click "Display as HTML." New SLAC Aerial Photographs AvailableThe Communications Office is pleased to announce the availability of six new aerial photographs of the laboratory. SLAC's evolving landscape is clearly evident from 3000 feet, especially with the new buildings populating the LCLS experimental areas. You can download the images from the SLAC Communications Office Image Gallery.
