Congress is Coming: Are You Ready?

Big things have a way of happening in four-year cycles. The Olympics. The US presidential elections. And, as every SPS member knows: the Sigma Pi Sigma Quadrennial Physics Congress (PhysCon).
With only a few months remaining until the 2016 Congress, we’re excited. And we hope you are too. Are you ready for a lineup of all-star speakers? Are you ready for workshops that immerse you in issues important to the physics community? Are you ready to make new, lifelong friends from across the country?
As a taste of what’s to come, we offer in this issue of The SPS Observer a preview of the science and technology site visits you can choose from at PhysCon. Thanks to the hard work of our planning committee,
