Photo a day: Admiral’s Club

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Stephen Sekula
One of the perks of oh-too-frequent air travel is what the airlines provide at a discount in trade for years off your life. This is a shot of the interior of the Admiral's Club at Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport. This one is located in the un-renovated section of terminal A, at gate A23. Jodi has a membership and I get to tag along for free.

Hiatus from CERN/Fermilab “Wine and Cheese” Seminar

I’m taking a brief hiatus from CERN for a couple of weeks to be back at SMU. On Friday I will be at Fermilab to visit with colleagues there and give this week’s Joint Experimental and Theoretical Physics Seminar, also known as a “Wine and Cheese” seminar. I’m looking forward to discussing the latest ATLAS results on the Higgs boson with my colleagues at FNAL!
