NYers (and others) with a strong interest in physics turned out this Saturday at the 2nd Cosmic Pathways NY conference. It was amazing day. I don’t even know where to be begin, there are so many amazing parts to the day. There were so many amazing things done by our Cosmic Pathways volunteer team. The student speakers were great. The workshops were great.
We had 180 students come to the event! Midway through the day, the event was hopping.
- Patty Mueller and Carissa Giuliano ran a tight ship. So there was a little I had to do but just go around and talk to people.
- Brad Conrad gave an amazing keynote address. People were literally asking me for the slides. Actually, this is a bit of a thing, we will be asking for some slides, posting the slides, and making them available for people.
- All the student presentations were wonderful.
- A special thank you to Adelphi President Michael Balboni. He made a surprise visit and gave a nice address during lunch.
- The workshops were great. The companies who came were great!
- A special thanks to the Cradle of Aviation and Kylie Goldade for their support and use of the planetarium.
- The list keeps going on. I will stop for today. There are going to be a few more posts over the next few days, with some news and pictures from the day.
The Lightening talks and 10 minute student presentations were a hit. I think we have shorten the day and give more people a chance to talk.
