Spring break, while off to a soggy start, is typically a time to unwind for students and faculty alike. But it can also be a time to play catch-up, get organized, and prepare for that final push before the end of the semester. May will be here before you know it!

And just in case you were curious, here’s what a few people on campus are doing this week:

I’m going to be working: Grading, putting together a new course proposal, working on proofs for an article, revising the NPLS website, and the like.

Tony Hall, chair of the physics and astronomy department:

Jetsetting across the Atlantic to London and Paris. To spend the week in 40 degree cloudy and rainy weather while at home we are about to enter in blissful 70 degree sunny weather all next week. But at least I will be in Paris!

I will be doing some grading, writing up some research, keeping a foster baby, and taking a quick trip to NYC.
