Dear friends and colleagues of Carl Wieman:
Please mark your calendars and save the date for a one-day event to celebrate Carl. But per Carl’s request, it will primarily serve as a reunion of the students, postdocs, and collaborators who worked most closely with Carl over the years
The event will be small and personal, and reflective of Carl’s style and personality!! We will start the day with a hike for those that wish to join and conclude with a celebratory dinner. Because the event will be invitation only, we will be able to offer financial support to help cover travel and lodging expenses for attendees who need it.
Event Schedule
TBA. Check back soon.
