Dear Physics Community,
The weekly message comes at the end of a momentous week. I participated in and heard tell of many stories, suggestions, and observations from the Strike last Wednesday. All the Divisions and Labs had their sessions, and I am still hearing from them. The Department will communicate back to the Physics Community through this message when we late this week of next. There is much to do. We will continue to engage, starting with Student Office Hours this Wednesday. I’d also like to thank Dan Harlow and Tracy Slatyer for their roles in nucleating the Strike.
The research ramp-up starts Monday. If you were put by your PI or supervisor on the access list should have received email instructions from the Administrative Officer of their Laboratory or Center. If you did not, let your supervisor know. If you still have problems, let me know. The ramp-up is quite complicated and may go slowly or be confusing at the start. All I can say is, please be patient.
