And quarks (ah, those charmed quarks!). And hopefully sometime after Wednesday Higgs bosons! We'll see. . . :) Hi Jenny,

I love anyone who exhibits such passion, even if I can’t understand a darned bit of it. What Eileen said about adorkable - great word! And yeah, particle physics isn't excatly my strongest point either, though I do try. But take heart, Richard Feynmann (Nobel-prize winning physicist) once said something along the lines of nobody really understanding quantum mechanics. As for Brian Cox, yeah, Eileen, smart is verrry sexy! And he really did used to be a rock star. He was keyboard player for D:Ream, while studying for his undergraduate degree. Here's D:Ream with one of their most popular hits in the UK: (you'll need to copy and paste the URL). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl-ai9HuR60 Coincidentally, the lead singer of that group was Peter Cunnah - no relative as far as we know.

I spent some happy time checking out your link, and what an exciting program it is! I do hope that he agrees to speak to your budding scientists. Steve, I agree with you totally about Brian Cox.

I have invited him to speak next summer at The Summer Science Program (www.ssp.org), an educational program for super-bright teens that started in 1959.
