@ct_bergstrom Today I was at a town hall meeting of the #americanphysicalsociety . I was heartened to learn that they stick with their values and past statements on important issues even if that means they (we, I am a member) may suffer. There was a long line of questions and comments, including one Nobel laureate, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and the need for action.
The #Quantum NanoScience Center in South Korea apparently sponsors an annual art contest with really high-level entries like dance performances and art installations. I learned this today at a session entitled Science Meets Art at the APS Global Summit in Anaheim.
Also, I learned South Korea has the third highest number of private art museums, after the US and Germany.

American Physical Society #APSGlobalSummit25 in Anaheim:
From our group there will be three talks at this largest physics conference in the world.
Tuesday 3:00 pm : Machine Learning aiding the Discovery of better Strategies for Quantum Computing [invited talk in Session MAR-J36, Anaheim Convention Center, 258A (Level 2)]
Wednesday 8:48 am: Training of neuromorphic systems based on coupled phase oscillators via equilibrium propagation: effects of network architecture [Session MAR-L58, Anaheim Hilton, Pacific A (Ballroom Level)]
Wednesday 3:24 pm: Discovering Local Hidden-Variable Models for Arbitrary Multipartite Entangled States and Arbitrary Measurements [by Nick von Selzam in Session MAR-N07, Anaheim Convention Center, 151 (Level 1)]
plus, as a bonus, from our collaborators in Oxford – Wednesday 12:54 pm: Meta-learning characteristics and dynamics of quantum systems [by Lucas Schorling in Session MAR-M36, Anaheim Convention Center, 258A (Level 2)]
Just arrived in Anaheim, California, for the American Physical Society #APSGlobalSummit2025, the largest physics meeting in the world (this time combining all branches of physics). I am curious to see how the mood is among my US colleagues.
