Back from the APS March Meeting
At long last, we are back in the London office after the APS meeting in New Orleans. I was stricken by a stomach bug/chest infection whilst I was there, so it was a relief to recuperate in my own bed. As I did so I was able to catch up on some excellent blogged summaries of the talks and presentations around the Morial Convention Center. Thankfully there were people there who made their notes available to all as there were so many interesting parallel sessions going on it was like going to a great party where you're convinced there's another, more excellent party happening somewhere else. So thanks to Doug Natelson and Dave Bacon for providing their own takes on the meeting.
Elsewhere, a storm in a teacup, or the beginnings of something more serious? APS declines to publish papers asking for Wikipedia-friendly licenses. See also comments on Peter Suber's blog and Slashdot. Interestingly I had a long chat with someone from the APS about what a Creative Commons license (as all articles on PhysMath Central have) allows that their copyright agreement does not allow. This story cropped up just as I was landing back at Gatwick.
