The Ghost Particle (the discovery of the nature of the neutrino)

I am still learning the nature of the atom and I find it challenging. Studying the materials and wwebsite , I feel, will help me to make that discovery.

I hope we follow through with the reunion at the Homestake mine in a year. It sounds exciting.
I feel much smarter today than I did when I came on Monday. Finding out about the structure of the nucleus was what I wanted to understand. This understanding will help me understand and teach chemistry at a higher level.

I would like to see more information on the Doctorate program as it becomes available.

So much to think about. I need time to let it soak in.

I plan to use the Muon half-life activity in my Honors Chemistry class. I'm not sure when that will be because we do not have a curriculim in place.

Patricia,
Have fun this summer. And, please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help. It was really nice getting to know you, this week.
Take care.
