I arrived late last night and spent today finishing my talks, then taking a walk around the Vanderbilt campus.<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you check out the maps below, you can see the walk I took. I started by finding the Scarritt-Bennett Center, the conference venue. This cluster of stone buildings, including a lovely chapel, reminded me of Yale University. One step off the street, and your inside a quaint green lawn surrounded by the center&#8217;s buildings. Archways connect different courtyards, with benches scattered all along the  pathways. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe yellow line indicates my path before lunch, while the green indicates my path after lunch. One of the things that I noticed was the Frist Center (I can only assume it&#8217;s named after a member of the family Frist, to which Senator Bill Frist belongs). There were posters all over the place advertising art exhibits at the Frist Center, all with the header &#8220;Summer at the Frist&#8221;. I got a kick out of it all.<\/p>\n<p>\nTomorrow the conference begins, with my first of two talks in the late afternoon at 4:20 pm. Whew! It&#8217;s good to be here!<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/vanderbilt-map-1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/vanderbilt-map-2.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am in Nashville, TN for the third in the conference series &#8220;Frontiers in Contemporary Physics&#8221;:http:\/\/www.fcp05.vanderbilt.edu\/.
