Michael Goggin, associate professor of physics, gave a poster presentation entitled “Experimental investigation of the connection between weak measurements and violation of the Leggett-Garg Inequality” at DAMOP 2009, the annual meeting of the Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics of the American Physical Society. The meeting took place May 20-23 in Charlottesville, Va., and was attended by physicists from five continents. Goggin’s presentation was based on work done at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia while he was on sabbatical there last year.
Adam Gouge, a May 2009 graduate, has been selected to receive a $5,000 graduate fellowship from the national chapter of Phi Kappa Phi honor society. Each local chapter of Phi Kappa Phi is allowed to submit one name for national consideration. In a committee led by Maria Di Stefano, dean of graduate studies, Gouge’s application was selected to send to the national organization. Phi Kappa Phi awards 60 fellowships and 40 $2,000 awards of merit each year.
Russell Nelson, chair of the art department and associate professor of art, recently completed a mural honoring every branch of the military and depicting every major U.S. conflict since WWI. The mural, which measures 7 feet tall and 38 feet long, is on display at the Kirksville Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2508, located at 21464 Parallel Road. Plans for the mural had been in development since 2006, and Nelson began painting it in May 2008. The VFW paid for supplies and Nelson did the work free of charge.
