Yet another whirlwind Industrial Physics Forum has drawn to a close, and yet again, I found myself frustrated at being unable to write about more than a fraction of the fascinating talks I heard over the course of two-and-a-half days. Had I but world enough and time, I would have loved to blog about Jay Franz’s excellent work advancing proton cancer therapy; Jay Monnier’s talk on astronomical imaging using near-infrared interferometers; and the several engaging speakers working in cutting-edge bioimaging techniques, which involved some pretty cool and creative animations.
And I really regret not getting around to mentioning Edie Widder’s fascinating overview of deep sea bioluminescence, particularly why it poses a challenge for planned underwater neutrino detectors. C’est la vie. It’s time to wave goodbye to Beantown and head back to sunny Los Angeles. But I’m going with a head stuffed full of great science — and what could be better than that?
