It's been quiet since starting this feed. Feel free to contribute your work with (Web) VPython so the world can see it! I hope to see many of you at #AAPTWM23 next weekend and the following week.

Intro post. I am a physics professor at a community college in northern Nevada USA. I am also the director of the Jack C Davis Observatory. Overall I am an educator, science outreach enthusiast, and scientist in that order of priority. My profile pic is of me on the SOFIA observatory in the near infrared.
