Weekly Message to the Physics Community, Tuesday, January 19, 2021

Dear Physics Community,

I am still reeling from last week and distracted/scared/discombobulated by Inauguration tomorrow, plus not feeling well.  Some good things may be happening: the SARS-Cov-2 mRNA in the waste water may be dropping, MIT vaccinations have started, and preparations are underway to welcome our students back for Spring. The shortest (Dec. 22)  and coldest (Jan. 17) days of the year are behind us. Finally, MIT has a couple of timely seminars: “Coping with Politically Charged Trauma”, here.
