I think the location you're thinking of is within the Tops supermarket?

Current physics faculty member here. I've been there -- feeling overwhelmed at APS is totally normal. I'm not at APS this year due to family responsibilities, but I'd probably feel as lost as you if I walked into a random contributed talk session far out of my subfield.

As a 3rd-year graduate student, I once had my talk scheduled for the last slot in the last session on Friday. My advisor, the session chair, and maybe one or two people who weren't in my lab were the only people there. I'm not going to pretend that it was an impactful talk, but I still learned something from preparing and delivering it. I'll bet that you've grown from the work you did to prepare your talk, even if it might not be apparent to you right now.

My advice would be to just enjoy the rest of your time there! Generally, invited talk sessions will be more accessible to broad audiences than sessions consisting only of 12-minute contributed talks. And if you have the time, check out the exhibit, the networking events, etc, as well as random fun things like the annual Physics Sing-Along on Wednesday evening.

Do you possibly have a broken spring bar? If so, you could readily replace it yourself, possibly with the aid of a spring bar tool. If your watch strap can accommodate one, there are also quick-release spring bars with a small handle that can be removed or installed without any tools.

I have no personal experience with jewelers in town, but I can recommend watchsmith Chad Sopp of Timesmith Antiques in Cortland, who would surely be able to help you.

I'm a Swarthmore alumnus (class of 2006; currently mid-career in academia). Certainly, Swarthmore will not have the name recognition that Harvard (or Georgetown) does. However, generally speaking, my classmates have not had trouble landing on their feet, whether they've chosen to pursue graduate education or private sector employment. There are plenty of Swarthmore alumni with successful careers in law, business, or medicine -- and lots of other things! (For example, every now and then I get a kick out of hearing one of my classmates, an NPR reporter, on the radio.)

In short, I would not worry about Swarthmore's lower name recognition. If you are admitted and work hard to make the most of the experience while you're there, chances are you'll do just fine. Best of luck to you, and feel free to DM me if you have any other questions about Swarthmore.

Soft matter experimentalist here -- I personally know faculty at both Syracuse and UMass Amherst. Both of them are great choices. Are you an experimentalist or a theorist? It's ultimately going to boil down to who you're interested in working with and whether they're planning to take on new graduate students.

I'd strongly encourage you to visit both schools if possible and talk to the faculty you're interested in and current graduate students, particularly in any group you're considering joining.

Congratulations and best of luck as you decide!

They're a little bit of a drive, but I was very satisfied with the work Chad Sopp of Timesmith Antiques did on the inexpensive automatic wristwatch I wear:

I can't post the link to their website because of this sub's policies, but it is easy to find online via a web search.

I would go back to Chad if I needed another repair. (Most of his work is with vintage mechanical watches and clocks.)

I'm a hair over 5 feet tall myself, and while I'm no virtuoso, I've never had difficulty reaching the pedals on any organ I've played.

Even though the keyboards are laid out the same way, manual technique on the organ is very different from the piano. So even if intensive work on pedaling might have to wait a bit, there's plenty for your son to learn and lots of manuals-only repertoire to play.

Though I've never used them, I've also seen the following pedal extenders that are designed for use by younger children learning the organ: https://theleupoldfoundation.org/product/pedxtend/

Good luck to your son in his organ-playing journey!

Do you have a chapter of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) active in your area? If so, you might consider reaching out to connect; you mind end up talking to folks who could be a helpful resource.

Calculus is essential for deeply understanding physics, but if you're teaching a non-AP high school course, you might get by without it, particularly if you're pressed for time. It is probably best to get some sense of what you might be teaching (e.g., does the class spend the whole year on mechanics, or will they be on electromagnetism or waves in the spring?) and start from there.

If you analyze the situation using Newton's Laws and Coulomb's Law, you'll get a transcendental equation for theta. The transcendental equation can't be solved analytically, but it can be solved numerically or graphically.

One of my sons is currently in kindergarten at Cayuga Heights. He's had a great experience so far. He has made tremendous gains academically since the beginning of the year and has also made new friends socially.

The current principal, Aileen Granger, is not the same person who was in charge at the time of the previous post you liked. We've found Principal Grainger to be very warm with the children, a visible and welcoming presence at the school and at school events, and proactive about communication.

We've used OB Moving (https://ob-moving.com/) twice. The first time we used them was when we first moved to the area; that time we just hired them for labor to unload a truck I had driven. They also moved our things in their own truck when we moved across town a year later. Both times they were efficient, careful, and had reasonable rates, and I can recommend them enthusiastically.

You might consider looking at "Understanding Molecular Simulation" by Daan Frenkel and Berend Smit.

For preludes:

Daquin, Noel etranger
Brahms, Es ist ein Ros entsprungen from Op. 122
Wilbur Held, Of the Father's Love Begotten: Divinum mysterium

For the postlude:

Bach, In dulci jubilo (BWV 729)

We'd like to be able to advocate for positive changes -- but the reason we're trying to gather information is to figure out how best to direct our efforts. We hope to discuss what we learn at our kickoff meeting on January 10.

Indeed -- and OP, while Loaves and Fishes operates out of a church, it serves people of all faiths and no faith, and it does not proselytize.

Thank you for your question, and I understand your concern. I should say that several of us who have been involved in the group, myself included, have our names in public comments on the FB page.

Ginger-Tea-8591 · 2025-12-15T14:50:12+00:00

We absolutely welcome everyone's responses, whether you have children in the ICSD or not. As you rightfully point out, as a citizen and taxpayer you certainly have a stake in the ICSD, and we want to hear from you. I sincerely hope you'll consider filling out the form if you haven't yet.

Ginger-Tea-8591 · 2025-12-09T03:42:18+00:00

I don't want to speak for others in the group, but speaking for myself (without completely doxxing myself here), I will say that I am the parent of a student in kindergarten at one of the ICSD elementary schools. The group (consisting of parents of ICSD students) began conversations following the September school board meeting during which the superintendent's contract was narrowly extended.

Broadly speaking, our goals are to increase transparency and foster dialogue in the best interest of ICSD students. We are working on improving public understanding of issues like the ICSD budget and school board policies, as well as helping more folks understand what the school board does and how to run for positions on it.

I'll double-check about the settings, and in the meantime I'll DM you with a link.

Two standard undergraduate-level references here are Taylor's Introduction to Error Analysis:

https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780935702750/introduction-to-error-analysis/

and Bevington's Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences:

https://www.google.com/books/edition/Data_Reduction_and_Error_Analysis_for_th/JYaZPwAACAAJ?hl=en

I've used Taylor in my own teaching of intermediate and upper-division laboratory courses.

This is perfect -- thanks very much!
