Dear Physics Community,

Fineberg – writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Harvey Fineberg from Harvard explains what is needed to eradicate Sar-Cov-2.  Not easy, but doable.

John Conway – when I was young, the best was the math column in Scientific American by John Conway, who passed away this week.  Obit here.  He left behind a legacy of making match cool and interesting before almost anyone else.

LHC – is shut down right now but will come by with wicked intense beams.  Intense enough to make a detectable number of high energy neutrinos.  This paper considers what a detector and location in one of the more interesting things I have seen in a while.  Might be high energy enough to see the Glashow resonance.

Quantum networks – look more and more possible.  But why?

End of a much-needed break.  Tomorrow will again the contract between the banal and extreme that we have all be suffering.
