Science of the Olympics

As the Olympics are starting, a friend pointed out this great web-site.

Speaking of the Olympics, I just spent some time tonight organizing the New England Physics Olympiad.  So if your school is interested, we will soon have information on a date and a location for this annual event.  This year we are planning to integrate it with the AAPT Physics Bowl.

Next week, we will be proctoring tests for students trying out for the US Physics Team.  Next Wednesday, Jan 29th, after school.  If you want to try out, take some practice tests, and you will need to sign up in Web Assign.
