I started a tradition a little while back where every year we have a special departmental colloquium entitled “The Nobel Prize in Physics: Who/What/Why”. This year my job in finding speakers was made easier by having 2/3 of this years newly-minted Nobel Prize winners in physics in the Department! (Michel Devoret and John Martinis.) So our room was a bit more well-attended than normal…(hundreds and hundreds rather than dozens and dozens). Here is a recording of the event, which I was delighted to host, and there’s a celebration afterwards too. (Pls share widely!)
