Three days and counting til we blast off to Oxford University, where Greg will spend 2 months working with a great group of physicists, whom I have dubbed The Usual Suspects. When we spent a year in London back in 2001-2002, Greg started what would become an ongoing work relationship with the same group of fellow Plasmoids* (with a few permutations, depending on the locale, season, and year, as well as what grad student is working for what physicist) at meetings and conferences in the States and abroad. They happen to be a very interesting and lively group of people outside of work, so it bodes well for hangers-on like me.
*my affectionate term for plasma physicists. Not to be confused with Astroids, who are astrophysicists. The two groups and their associated fields of interest overlap to some degree.
