Why Dr. Conrad? He is fun, brings energy, well connected, gives amazing advice, and is brilliant! When he came to Adelphi a couple of years ago for a physics talk, he brought balloons and students still talk about his talk. It was Epic! Here is a picture of Dr. Conrad with the Adelphi Physics Club sweatshirt on with former students Sally Lou and James St. John.

Fun Fact! When you when you google Brad Conrad, my picture comes up! HAHAHAHAHA! It is from a Physics Today article we wrote a few years ago.
