Coolness Points for G0!

I am gleeful today, because a photograph of my experiment in the forward angle mode is prominently featured on the official 2006 calendar of the American Physical Society!  :)  I am particularly tickled since the photograph shows the lovely cable-work that a group of us (including me) did after we had built and tested all the detectors and the finished octants were installed in Hall C.  Yay!  :)

Very nice work, but it doesn't look quite alien enough. :) Seriously though, congratulations! Heh. They called you "Calendar Girl" on the main QDs page. Your thoughts?

Not alien enough? I thought it looked like something cool in a hanger in Star Wars.

From the front page:
"Calendar girl
Sarah Phillip's experiment gets into the American Physical Society's 2006 calendar. (posted 12/12)"

"Calendar Girl"? I didn't make it into the calendar; my carefully built and tested detectors did. They spelled my name wrong somehow too...

But I am on the main page! Whoo!! :)

You are right, the image has a very Galactic Empire vibe to it. When will you start churning out the ion drives for the TIEs?

Maybe they think the detector is you? I didn't think you'd change so much in so little time. Last time I saw you you were carbon based!

Oops, Sarah. Sorry about the misplaced apostrophe. Congrats on the calendar!

Hi Chelsea,

No problem! Don't worry about it, I was just poking a bit of fun. I am a master of funny typos, so I appreciate a good one when I see it. Thanks for the congrats!

Best Wishes,

Sarah
