Friday - November 12, 2010 |
From the Director: The Return (Again) of the Scientific Policy CommitteeThe Scientific Policy Committee met last week as part of a week-long series of meetings to provide input to our Board of Overseers—the BoO. Recall that Stanford University is responsible for overseeing SLAC science and operations and Stanford uses the BoO to assure that our performance is up to the university's high standards. The SPC helps develop, refine and assess the scientific strategies of the laboratory. Their recent meetings have been full of excitement as they have watched the successful launch and excellent science productivity of the Fermi telescope and first lasing, initial operations and first science from the Linac Coherent Light Source.

Noontime Concert by the Cecilia String Quartet TodayThe Cecilia String Quartet will return to SLAC to present a noon-time concert today in the Kavli Auditorium.

They are working with the St. Lawrence String Quartet of Stanford as part of their Emerging String Quartet program. They will play two quartets, Mozart, String Quartet No.14 in G Major, K. 387 and Schumann, Op. 41 No.1 in A minor. Please join us!
