Dear all,
Since nobody seems to have pointed it out, a NIST time and frequency lab
employee in Boulder, Dave Wineland has been awarded the Nobel price in
physics, together with Serge Haroche.

Of course, Nobel Prize winners get about $1.2 million and the winners of the
physics Nobel will split that. At a news conference today in Boulder,
Colorado, Dave Wineland said he has no idea what he will do with the money.

Dear Magnus,
Good morning.
We popped a champagne bottle (well, a toast with a cup of coffee and cookies
actually) at CENAM as we heard about the news! Congratullations to NIST, Dave,
Serge and all the Time and Frequency community. It is really an awe inspiring
event.
Who's next?
Regards!
