Quantum Diaries Chronicles the Global Year of Physics
By Katherine Bellevin
In collaboration with the world’s particle physics
laboratories, SLAC has launched Quantum Diaries, a Web site that will
follow the lives of physicists worldwide as they live the 2005 World Year
of Physics. In their own words, in blogs, photos and video clips and in
half a dozen languages, Quantum Diarists will give readers a real-time
picture of the lives of 21st-century scientists.

Quantum Diaries Web site
|
Four SLAC physicists—Stephon Alexander (THP), Caolionn
O’Connell (ARDB), Bryan Dahmes (B ABAR)
and Jose Ocariz (BABAR)—are
participating in this project. They are recording their experiences,
thoughts, impressions, triumphs and disappointments in a ‘blog’, which is
short for weblog, or a Web-based log. Check in with the team often as they
share their experiences at the Lab and in their daily lives.
The Quantum Diaries Web site was developed and is jointly
maintained by the InterAction collaboration, whose members represent the
world’s particle physics laboratories in Europe, North America and Asia,
with funding provided by the science funding agencies of many nations.
