Dear Physics community,
The fall term is marching along, meaning that it is time for a new issue of the Physics Newsletter. This term has seen most of our courses return to an in-person format and the easing of distancing and capacity limits on research activities. While many people continue to work at home, there is certainly a lot more activity in the Physics building these days. On the third floor, we have been joined by Joseph Thywissen, who started his three-year term as Associate Chair for Graduate Studies on July 1.
